With all your dinner parties and evening soirées lined up as the year draws to a close, it’s time to put away that chunky office staple and opt for a dressier silhouette like Saint Laurent’s chic little Kate Box Bag. Besides coming in a boxy, structured shape that’s a one-up from the standard Kate bags you’re already familiar with, the addition of a slinky omega chain sling strap flanked with gold tassels at the sides will definitely do justice to your glamorous look for the night.

Using the bag is pretty simple. Lift up the front flap and you will find a single compartment that will house your absolute essentials, fitted with a gusseted pocket that’s perfect for slotting in cards and the like. It’s currently available in a single size (18 cm by 14 cm) and best worn over the shoulder or across the body, because you will definitely need hands to hold that champagne glass (or two).

Priced at SGD3200, the Kate Box Bag in Rippled Patent Leather is now available at Saint Laurent boutiques in ION Orchard and Marina Bay Sands. If, however, you prefer to make your purchase online, you can simply hit this link and shop Saint Laurent online, and it will be shipped directly to your doorstep between 5 to 8 working days.
