FROM LETTERS TO LEATHER

For Winter 2026, Saint Laurent introduces Simone, a new handbag that turns an intimate piece of the House’s history into a contemporary accessory. Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s personal letters and the envelope pouches of the 1970s and 1980s, its sleek silhouette translates the intimacy of correspondence into an everyday object.

Supple yet structured, Simone balances softness with architectural precision, while a new Double Cassandre signature offers a dimensional take on the House’s iconic emblem. Designed with functionality in mind, its refined construction conceals two compartments and a zipped pocket behind a seamless exterior.

Available in smooth leather, suede and python across a rich palette, Simone bridges past and present — transforming the simple gesture of an envelope into a new Saint Laurent signature.
