Saint Laurent Voltaire Box
My second favorite is the Saint Laurent Voltaire bag. The boxy shape caught my eye. This popular half-moon bag is closer to a saddlebag, featuring a clean design with the iconic LE CASSANDRE clasp. Actress Qin Lan was seen carrying it at the airport. It’s a shoulder bag available in small and mini sizes, both with adjustable, detachable swivel shoulder straps. The small size has a flap compartment for better organization, priced at 23,200 yuan. The mini size lacks compartments and costs 14,900 yuan. The deep softwood color is stunning.
Saint Laurent’s Calypso bag, new this season, is their highlight. It resembles the Niki but is simpler. The material is unique, using grainy lambskin with a vintage feel. The signature quilted padding technique makes it more durable. The shoulder strap design is clever, allowing it to switch from double-handle shoulder carry to a single crossbody strap. The large size is priced at 26,500 yuan on the official website.
LV hasn’t introduced new bag shapes this season, but the early fall collection featuring little animals has made a splash. Collaborating with Chinese artist Sun Yitian, the collection adds whimsical elements like leopards, rabbits, puppies, and penguins to classic designs. This adds a fun touch to the traditional monogram. Actress Ouyang Nana was seen carrying a postman bag from this series, priced at 25,200 yuan.
The LV Carryall is a popular bag, combining the features of a hobo and tote. It’s spacious and stylish, making it a must-have. The new season’s Carryall comes from the LV By The Pool series, featuring light denim monogram with a denim tag. It’s vintage and trendy. The small size is priced at 25,200 yuan, and the medium at 26,600 yuan. The washed light denim with a worn effect gives a casual street vibe, perfect for the season. It’s classic and versatile, suitable for commuting or travel.
The soft denim material doesn’t collapse, aligning with the recent trend of big, soft bags. The Carryall includes a detachable zip pouch for small items or as a coin purse, making it practical. The shoulder strap is detachable and adjustable, allowing for underarm, shoulder, or crossbody carry.
Lastly, let’s talk about Chanel. Known for frequently releasing new bags, they rarely introduce new shapes. Instead, they evolve classic designs with different materials. The latest release is the 23/24 Haute Couture Métiers d’Art collection. Chanel collaborates with eight distinct haute couture workshops, releasing limited designs on classic bag shapes annually. Two standout pieces are from the Montex embroidery workshop’s tea set series. The craftsmanship of these bags makes them pricey, like the beaded mini 22, costing over 70,000 yuan, nearly double the price of the all-leather version. While collectors pursue these, the resale market still favors classic colors and materials. Choose based on your purchasing needs.
