Saint Laurent 101
Yves Saint Laurent redefined the way women dress. His skillful eye broke boundaries by dressing women in form-fittiing menswear.
In his first collection for the namesake brand in January 1962, Saint Laurent introduced a women’s peacoat that was inspired by naval uniforms (seen above).
Saint Laurent’s love for art was also evident in his clothing. One 1988 couture show featured dresses inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflowers and irises (seen above).
Saint Laurent did not pay the same attention to handbags that the rest of the luxury world did, yet, the brand managed to create some of the most desired handbags of its time.
The Sac de Jour is a popular bag that comes in an array of materials and colors. Above is supermodel Bella Hadid holding a mini Sac de Jour handbag.
Named after Saint Laurent's colleague and muse Loulou de la Falaise, the Loulou is a quilted crossbody that has become a staple in the luxury handbag realm and been worn by supermodels around the world, above is Gigi Hadid pictured wearing it.
Named after supermodel Kaia Gerber (pictured above), the Kaia bag has become a classic Saint Laurent handbag.
Countless of celebrities have shown their love for Saint Laurent handbags. Such celebrities include Beyonce, Kendall Jenner, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (pictured above) to name a few.
Due to its classic, yet chic styles and true Parisian spirit, many Saint Laurent bags can retain their value and sell at least 75 to 80 percent of the retail value at Rebag.
