When it comes to handbags, first and foremost, functionality should be king. Right? What’s the point of a beautifully designed, impeccably crafted purse if it’s a pain to carry, is difficult to get into, or doesn’t actually hold what you need? The big bag has been primed for a major comeback in recent years, and despite the seemingly endless trend of mini and ultra-mini bags plus a continued focus on work from home, making a big bag feel obsolete, the big bag trend continues to pick up steam.
Now, there’s no denying that the big bag is indeed back, and the ultimate cool girl, Zoe Kravitz, just debuted the latest from Anthony Vaccarello and the House of Saint Laurent. The star and fashion icon paraded around LA this past weekend with the latest logo bag. She shared three consecutive snaps on her Instagram, debuting the brand’s latest.
Introducing the Saint Laurent Icare Maxi Shopping Bag
The Saint Laurent Icare Maxi shopping bag is a welcome change to the mini and micro bags of the moment. Designed by Vaccarello and crafted entirely of soft lambskin with a flat lozenge quilting. Finished with a maxi-version of the brand’s notorious YSL hardware, which is sculpted like jewelry and crafted entirely by hand. This shopping bag is not your average; designed to pack a punch in style and function. The bag is just another reminder that the bigger the bag these days, the better.
The Icare Maxi Shopping Bag retails for $3,990 and is currently available for pre-order online and in select stores, and it will be widely available this coming May. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been one to carry a big bag every day, adapting to today’s trends by streamlining what it is that I carry. But Ms. Kravitz makes me want to be a meetings-going, matcha-drinking, boss-lady with my big bag in tow. Discover below and shop current Saint Laurent via MyTheresa.
April fools?????
I hope so. Is it the era of the ugly bag? Chanel, Celine and now Saint Laurent all seem to think so
She is so tiny and the bag and logo are so large that it looks silly to me.
The bag is wearing her. I don’t need to carry a bag that will hold all of my belongings.
I’m laughing that this person I have never heard of is considered “the ultimate cool girl” and yet looks ridiculous with this huge logo bag.
LOVE her and I already eyed this bag but the price is a bit more than I am prepared to pay for this type of bag. Oh to be Zoe and get one for free…
She’s stunning, and has the cool factor to pull off this type of outfit. I think it’s classic and simple but very stylish. Might be a little big for us civilians.
It looks like my MZ Wallace bag🙃
You can also wear it as an apron!
