Released in 2018, the Saint Laurent Vicky bag made its first appearance at the fashion house’s Fall / Winter catwalk show that year. The Vicky bag is known for its not-so-common vertical quilted detail, a design which was popular in the 1980s, and its squarish shape. It also has a flap which features the well-known interlaced YSL initials, as well as a chain and leather strap.
The Saint Laurent Vicky bag has a casual yet sophisticated look, making it an extremely versatile bag which goes with most types of outfits. It can add a chic touch to a casual outfit and would also fit in perfectly well with something dressier.
The bag closes with a magnetic snap fastening, and items can be organized neatly in the main compartment or the slot pocket at the back. Additionally, the exterior of the bag has one slip pocket which can be found at the back.
There is one shortcoming when it comes to the design of the YSL Vicky bag, and that is the fact that the strap is not adjustable, nor is it movable in such a way that it can be doubled up and worn as a short shoulder bag. Nevertheless, the bag can still be worn in two ways – as a long shoulder bag or across the body.
YSL Vicky Sizes and Dimensions
The Saint Laurent Vicky bag comes in three sizes – small, medium and large. The dimensions of each size can be found in the table below:
| Size | Dimensions | Strap Drop |
| YSL Vicky Small | 17.5 x 14.5 x 7 cm | 56 cm |
| YSL Vicky Medium | 20.5 x 17 x 8 cm | 55 cm |

YSL Vicky Materials, Colours and Price
Initially, the Vicky bag was released in a shiny patent leather, to further enhance that 80s retro look, as well as in a more subtle lambskin version. Since then, it has also been released in velvet.
The colour availability of this bag has also been quite generous, with a range of hues from bright red, pink and yellow to more classic shades of black, white and other neutrals.
The price of the Saint Laurent Vicky bag ranges between €1,590 and €1,990 and varies based on the material and size chosen. In general, this price point is pretty standard for Saint Laurent bags which are similar in style and size.
Other Bags in the YSL Vicky Collection
Following the success of the original bag, Saint Laurent have added multiple variations of the Vicky to their collection. These include a camera bag, wallet on chain, vanity bag and even a backpack. All bags in the Vicky collection feature the vertical quilted leather.
