Saint Laurent's Sac de Jour transcends gender boundaries with an understated style that captivates both men and women. Devoid of the YSL Cassandre hardware and monograms, the bag instead features a lightly embossed ‘Saint Laurent Paris’ logo between its top handles.
For the discerning gentleman, the Sac de Jour offers a thoughtful blend of practicality and masculine style. It lends an air of effortless cool to any ensemble, whether it’s a casual outfit or tailored suit. Since the sizes for men are typically larger, you can count on convenient pockets and slots equipping the interior.
Selected styles also come with an adjustable shoulder strap for extra versatility. In Singapore, the men’s offerings include the Sac de Jour North/South (SGD4080) and Sac de Jour Thin Large (SGD4980). Then comes the Sac de Jour 48H Duffle, a weekender size, in nylon/leather (SGD4380) and grained leather (SGD5080) styles. Aside from silver-tone elements, matte black enamel and gold-tone hardware versions are also available.

Likewise, the Sac de Jour is an indispensable accessory for many a modern woman. Its boxy, structured silhouette and accordion-like design make it a breeze to use, while generous proportions easily accommodate belongings. An ideal companion for work and leisure, the ladies range comes in many sizes to cater to diverse lifestyles.
A solid day-to-night choice, the Sac de Jour Nano (from SGD3650) measures a compact 22 cm by 17 cm. The Sac de Jour Baby (from SGD4170) then comes in at 26 cm by 20 cm, the ‘intermediate’ size. At 32 cm by 25 cm, the iconic OG is now known as the Sac de Jour Small (from SGD4690).
Leather options range from smooth and grained finishes to crocodile-embossed and shiny patent surfaces.
As for the slouchy, supple offerings which portray the Sac de Jour in a relaxed form instead of the regular boxy shape, these come in Nano, Baby, Small, as well as Medium, which is currently the biggest size at 36 cm by 27 cm.
