After creating 20 (and counting) different versions of the wildly popular Monogram Bill Pouch, Saint Laurent has finally introduced an all-new silhouette to the range, one that’s simply known as the Niki Bill Pouch which comes in crinkled vintage calfskin leather. Think of it as the softer, curvier sister that’s a great alternative for those who prefer a casual-looking piece (as opposed to the sharp and structured Monogram Bill Pouch), while retaining standard features such as the flat front pocket and central zipped compartment. Besides, it comes in the handy 21 cm by 13 cm size, which will fit a good deal of cards along with a stack of fifty dollar bills which you will never have to fold or worry about getting creased.

What’s new about the Niki Bill Pouch? The YSL initials in front are entirely tone-on-tone, which is great news if you’re constantly worried about metal getting scratched or tarnished. Not only are the curved corners (at the base) pleasing to the eye, it also makes it slightly more resistant to wear and tear, scoring extra points in terms of longevity and usage.

Priced at SGD720 each, the Niki Bill Pouch is now available in 5 different colours like Black, Blanc Vintage, Eros Red, Legion Red and Storm, all of which are classic hues typically found across all Saint Laurent leather goods, which you can now find online here or in stores. Need a tip? Get the one in Eros Red if you find yourself needing just a small clutch for Chinese New Year, because the front slot and main compartment will definitely hold a good number of red packets as well.
