Not to be confused with punk, which is described as ‘a loud, fast-moving, and aggressive form of rock music, popular in the late 1970s’, Hedi Slimane’s Punk Saint Laurent was created in Los Angeles (where he is based) and complies with all the codes of punk as he interprets it into his bags, which were first presented in his F/W15 collection in Paris.
Sporting everything from tulle to chains, charms and padlocks, the devil is quite literally in the details, with little skeletons (no, not creepy at all), hanging from said bags. And it’s a edgy yet fun collection, the charms clinking ever so slightly as you move from point to point while slung either over your shoulder or across the body.
Available in at least 3 variations, the first one (shown above) features 100% goatskin, measures some 18 cm across by 10 cm and is officially referred to as the Classic Baby Monogram Saint Laurent Punk Chain Bag.

Priced at SGD2790, it’s the same price as the one that comes embellished with tulle that goes around the sides and the bottom, a punk ballerina of sorts if you would. Sized the same as the one without the tulle, it’s also a tad more fun, with the addition of a tulle pom-pom and some other bits and bobs.

If you are loving the vibe of it all but want something more sensibly-sized, there’s this, the Classic Medium Monogram Saint Laurent Punk Chain Bag, which is just as fun but bigger. Measuring 23 cm across by some 16 cm, it sports the same charms albeit on a larger frame with a sling that can either be worn long or doubled for a closer fit against the body. Priced at SGD4090, you’ll find this, along with the other pair of Classic Baby bags now at Saint Laurent’s new home at ION Orchard, a shrine of chrome, marble and mirrors that you should check out either way.
