Cassandra is a new handbag launched by Saint Laurent in the autumn and winter of 2019. It is named after French artist AM Cassandre , who is the designer of the YSL classic logo. The bag has a simple envelope-style flap and neat lines. The most special thing is its buckle design , which makes the opening and closing method surprising.

The YSL Logo was created in 1961 by French artist AM Cassandre , who was invited by founder Yves Saint Laurent to design it. This classic logo has the brand's initials arranged vertically, looking like a sexy and elegant woman. It is not only highly recognizable, but also fits the brand's style very well.

Today, this logo has become an unshakable soul element of YSL. The Monogram series of bags that use it as the core design have quickly become the brand's most popular IT Bag since its launch in 2013.

As the latest member of the Monogram series, the biggest difference between Cassandra and its predecessor lies in its exquisite buckle design - the YSL Logo has been upgraded from a purely decorative accessory to an opening and closing buckle with practical functions , giving the classic logo a new deconstruction.

When you first see this bag, you may not guess how to open it. Just push the right end of the letter L to the left , and the letter Y on the bag cover will automatically pop out from the lock. The opening and closing method is unique.

The bag adopts a trapezoidal outline, with a wide bottom and narrow top body that naturally extends to the envelope-style flap and the letter Y on the top. The lines are simple and smooth, and it looks very uplifting.

This bag is made of Grain de Poudre calfskin , which is tougher and more scratch-resistant than ordinary calfskin, and supports the upright shape of the bag.

The color is a warm-toned vintage white , which is easier to control and more resistant to dirt than pure white. The edge of the cover is double-stitched, which has a stronger three-dimensional feel and a bit of academic temperament.

There are metal feet on the bottom , which allow the bag to be placed upright and protect the bottom of the bag from wear and tear.

· How do I carry this bag? ·

The Top Handle setting makes the bag look energetic, and it is also equipped with a detachable and adjustable leather shoulder strap , which provides at least 3 ways of carrying: hand-held, shoulder-carried and cross-body.

The top of the bag has a thoughtful groove design on both sides, which provides a place for the shoulder straps to rest, making it more comfortable to carry on the body. The handle is made of padded material, which can always maintain an elegant arch and is more comfortable to carry in the hand.

What can this bag hold?

Overall, Cassandra is a more formal YSL bag, suitable for daily commuting. There is a flat clip pocket on the back of the bag, which can be used to place a mobile phone. The lining is black grained calfskin , with double compartments for easy classification and storage of items, and a small inner pocket on the back.

We put a notebook, a card holder, an iPhone X, lipstick, perfume and Airpods in the bag, and there was still a little space left, which is quite good for a small handbag. In addition, the bag is very light , which is also a plus point worth investing in.
