Saint Laurent Niki Baby Red Matelassé Leather Chain Shoulder Bag

Some bags arrive already looking as though they have a few good stories behind them, and the Niki is one of them. The red leather is deliberately crinkled, with a creased surface that feels like a favorite vintage jacket, and it’s stitched in chevron quilting that gives the flap a lived in softness. The YSL monogram sits in matching red, so the whole bag reads as one confident color. A dark gunmetal chain with a leather shoulder pad swings easily from the shoulder, and a small front pocket tucks the things you reach for most.
