2. Saint Laurent Le Carré
Different from what Saint-Laurent has been offering, Le Carré distinguishes itself by its chic simplicity. Also offered in exotic skins such as ostrich and alligator, Le Carré is one of the greatest examples of craftmanship and timeless design. Most Saint Laurent bags boast the signature YSL emblem across the front, but if you like your designer accessories on the understated side, the Le Carré is for you. This satchel-inspired bag is a contemporary classic that’s ideal for everyday wear. It has a roomy interior compartment and a zipped pocket, as well as an adjustable strap that allows you to style it over the shoulder or crossbody.

Introduced for Cruise 2020, the Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag is recreated from an archival design. With the same lines and forms first introduced over six decades ago, the accessory unifies the original details with a modern spirit, highlighting the Horsebit. Part of Gucci’s genetic code, the double ring and bar design has been established as one of the most distinctive elements among the House symbols borrowed from the equestrian world. Presented on a small flap shoulder bag, the hardware is paired with textured leather and completed with a special mechanism that adjusts the length of the shoulder strap so it can be carried on one shoulder or cross body.
