Okay, first off, YSL, or Saint Laurent (same diff, right?), is like, *the* epitome of chic. You see those bags, especially the bigger ones, and you just *know* someone’s got their life together, or at least pretending really well. And honestly, pretending is half the battle, ya know?
I’ve been drooling over the Le 5 à 7 in the large size for, like, ever. Especially the croc-embossed ones! Talk about fancy, right? You just *know* you could throw, like, your whole life in that thing. Wallet, keys, phone, emergency makeup kit (you *always* need that!), maybe even a small dog if you’re sneaky enough. Okay, maybe not the dog, but you get the idea. It’s a serious contender for a “I’m a sophisticated adult” kinda vibe.
Then there’s the whole hobo bag thing going on. Saint Laurent’s got some gorgeous ones. I saw one, the ROUAN NIKI large in shearling? Omg. Shearling! Imagine how soft and cozy that would be to carry around all day. It’s kinda like carrying a fashionable cloud. Plus, the description says it’s “very spacious.” Understatement of the century, I bet. You could probably fit a small child in there, not that I’m advocating for that! Just sayin’, it’s HUGE.
And then, of course, you gotta talk about the LOULOU. Can’t forget about the Loulou! That quilted lambskin? *chef’s kiss* They’re just so… classic. But even in the large size, they still manage to be surprisingly lightweight (or at least, they look it?). I’m not entirely sure if the large version is actually *that* big in a practical sense. It’s probably more “medium-large,” you know? Designer bag sizing can be so confusing sometimes! It’s like they’re trying to trick us.
Honestly, picking a YSL big bag is a serious investment. We’re talking rent money here, people! So, you gotta think about what you really *need*. Do you need a tote that can carry your laptop and gym clothes? Or do you need a statement piece that screams “I have arrived”? Maybe a crossbody that can haul your essentials while you’re being all cool and whatnot.
