Place the YSL motif on most any SL handbag and it will be well-received, because it is already such an icon in its own right. Now, there’s no better way to celebrate the logo than having it decorated all over in a new monogram pattern, a unique arrangement that features the YSL motif up (and down) within the special diamond-dotted quilting. Simply referred to as the Monogram All Over, the eye-catching pattern can be found on a relatively new silhouette, the Small Satchel, a fuss-free 23 cm by 19 cm bag finished with a Saint Laurent-engraved slide tab closure.

The version in Beige canvas is no stranger to you, but the ones in Black and Burgundy suede have arrived just in time for the holidays. Priced slightly higher at SGD2990 each (it comes fully lined in calfskin leather, by the way), the Monogram All Over Small Satchel opens to a well-compartmentalised interior consisting of two expandable pockets for all your daily essentials. There’s another open pocket at the back for keeping loose notes and quick-access cards, making it a truly handy design all in all.

As for the strap, Saint Laurent has designed it to have an approximate 54 cm drop length, so both the men and women can get their hands on one. It is also adjustable to several different lengths to accommodate several styles, whether you like carrying your bag over the shoulder or strapped casually across the body.

Intrigued? You will find it online at YSL.com, as well as the boutiques located in ION Orchard and Marina Bay Sands. Also if you love suede, especially that warm and fuzzy feeling it is often associated with, making it particularly apt for Christmas too…
