10 Best YSL Bags To Invest In 2024 & Beyond

Interested in purchasing a new Saint Laurent bag for your collection? If so, here are the top 10 best and most popular YSL bags to choose from!

It’s every fashionista’s dream to own at least one Yves Saint Laurent handbag—in the perfect world, we would have about six sitting pretty in our closet. The designer brand, otherwise known as YSL or simply as Saint Laurent, is incredibly popular in the fashion realm for its timeless sense of style and ability to predict upcoming trends. 

If you’re considering purchasing a new YSL handbag, we can assure you that superb quality and intricate craftsmanship comes along with the slightly intimidating price tag. You won’t have to worry about the bag bursting at the seams or the leather fading after using the handbag for only one season.

But before you pull the trigger and order the YSL handbag that brings you the most joy, be sure to choose a color that fits with your wardrobe. Yes, we also love a pink or bright red handbag but sometimes it’s hard to get your money’s worth out of it. That’s why we suggest starting your YSL collection with a black or neutral-colored handbag.

While all YSL bags are truly a work of art, we’ve rounded up the 10 best YSL bags that will stand the ever-so-important test of time.

The Best YSL Bags In 2024

1. Le 5 à 7 Hobo Bag

Some days you might prefer carrying your personal belongings in a shoulder bag rather than a small crossbody bag, which makes this Le 5 a 7 Hobo bag a superb option. Shoulder bags are perfect for shopping, going out for dinner, or just going over to your friend’s place for fancy drinks. Plus, they’re oh-so-fashionable right now.

The hobo-style shoulder bag has one adjustable strap at the top, bronze-toned hardware, and hook closure at the very top. It has a rather spacious interior that can fit your phone, cards, face powder, lipstick, and car keys without any trouble.

2. Sac De Jour Bag

If you’re looking for the perfect office bag, you’ve found it. The Saint Laurent Sac De Jour Small Leather Top-Handle Bag is one of Saint Laurent’s signature styles and features tubular handles, accordion-like sides, and a longer additional strap so that it can be carried by hand or worn across your body or by the shoulder.

It adorns the designer’s signature YSL logo and a small gold locket for added detail. For those who strictly like to carry their bags by hand, the longer strap can be easily removed. If you consider your personal style to be elegant and sophisticated, this handbag, made in Italy with 100 percent calfskin leather with a leather lining, will fit in perfectly with your current wardrobe.

Clutches are great for carrying your essential items to school galas, cocktail parties, and every other event where you don’t want your handbag interfering with your outfit. The Uptown Clutch features the signature gold-toned interlock logo on the front flap and is crafted from 100 percent leather.

Since the clutch is simple and isn’t covered in hardware, it’s incredibly lightweight so that your hand or wrist won’t tire easily.

This handbag is as sophisticated as it gets, ideal for outings where you need to look classy and fashion-forward. This bag was named after Adolphe Mouron Cassandre, the man who designed Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic logo that’s still used today.

The bag has a handle on the top and the interlocking gold hardware on the front functions as a twist-lock, which opens to reveal two compartments on the inside. The Cassandra Mini Top Handle Bag has dainty gold feet to protect the bottom of your bag and is made with textured calfskin leather.

9. Manhattan Bag

If you love the look of the Hermès Kelly bag, you’ll love YSL’s Manhattan bag as it has a very similar silhouette to the cult-classic Kelly. The Manhattan Shoulder Bag is anything but a normal shoulder bag as it has several fashionable details like a buckle on the front. It has an adjustable shoulder strap so that you can wear the bag close to your shoulder or closer toward your hip.

The leather bag features bronze-toned metal hardware and a buckle instead of the interlocking YSL logo. It can be closed by the magnetic clip buckle and on the inside, you’ll find one flat pocket in the main compartment.

The compression tabs on the side allow the bag to expand and compress, depending on how many items you’re carrying at once.
