Monogram bags from Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane

The famous three-lettered YSL logo, designed in 1961 by artist Cassandre, is showcased on a sleek new range of bags, available now.

Saint Laurent Creative Director since 2012, Hedi Slimane today reveals his unisex line of luggage and accessories that will be a part of the permanent collection, available all year-round. The Monogram collection features 30 different pieces, based around a traditional coated natural cotton canvas travel bag, as well as a selection of accessories - including a clutch, card holder and iPad sleeve - all created in Saint Laurent's Italy-based leather workshop. The Hedi Slimane-designed monogram is a unique print inspired by the geometric links of the Art Deco-style Babylone  curb chain, and the repetition of the famous YSL logo created by artist Cassandre forYves Saint Laurent in 1961. The brown and black motif plays on the effects of time-worn materials and each piece is finished with a final touch of luxury: Saint Laurent embossed in gold letters. Some Saint Laurent stores also offer a personalization service.
