Thanks to Sarocha ‘Freen’ Chankimha, Saint Laurent’s new Voltaire Top Handle is already the season’s must-have accessory, even ahead of its global launch. The Thai actress, model and singer’s effortless style, exemplified by her chic black ensemble, catapults the design into superstardom.

While the boxy Voltaire has long been a staple in Saint Laurent’s leather goods collection, the upcoming release boasts a half-moon profile. Besides its uniquely curved base, another standout feature is the versatile and eponymous top handle. Lengthen it for crossbody wear or keep it deliberately short for that easy-breezy look over the shoulder.
In another change, two jewel-like hooks on the sides replace the standard lobster clasps. While providing added visual interest, the gold-tone hardware also matches the YSL Cassandre logo in front. Set to launch in Singapore in September, the Voltaire Top Handle retails at SGD3110.
Whether you go for the black or white version, Saint Laurent’s Voltaire Top Handle comes in a single size. Measuring 21 cm wide and 17.5 cm high, the compact design is not only stylish but also practical, and perfectly sized for absolute essentials on a day or night out with the girls.
