Bella Hadid and big bag debuts go hand in hand—and whether you want to believe it or not, Hadid’s influence is impossible to ignore.
Saint Laurent and Hadid have consistently knocked it out of the park, generating buzz with major bag moments like the Y Tote in late 2024 and the Icarino last summer.
Bella Hadid and Saint Laurent’s Winning Bag Formula
Now, Hadid is the first celeb to be spotted IRL with the brand-new Saint Laurent Mombasa revival—a natural fit, as the mega-model stars in the bag’s Spring/Summer 2025 debut campaign.
It’s already a big year for Hadid, who stars in the upcoming FX series The Beauty. Ahead of the series premiere on January 21, she’s been back at it, spotted around New York making the promo rounds and looking good doing it.
The Saint Laurent Mombasa Makes Its IRL Debut
Last night, Hadid waved to fans and blew kisses for the paparazzi in a full Saint Laurent look, pairing the brand-new Mombasa with sky-high slingbacks, a sleek pencil skirt, and the piece of the season—a Cassandre windbreaker.
With yet another Saint Laurent bag debut under her belt, Hadid continues to prove that when she steps out, the industry takes note. If the Mombasa revival needed a modern seal of approval, this New York sighting may have just sealed its status as the brand’s next must-have.
