Gaby Series

SAINT LAURENT launches the new Gaby Vanity cosmetic bag , which uses diamond quilted lambskin to create an exquisite and elegant makeup box shape, paired with a bronze YSL Cassandre metal emblem and a wraparound zipper closure. It can be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or cross-body. It is a versatile small bag that is both beautiful and practical.

Design inspiration

Saint Laurent debuted the Gaby series of handbags in the Fall/Winter 2021 season, inspired by the character Gaby played by Catherine Deneuve in the 2002 French-Italian co-production film 8 Femmes , representing the image of an independent woman.

The Vanity cosmetic bag, which debuted in the spring and summer of 2024 , is a new member of the Gaby family. It is inspired by the classic cosmetic box . The history of the "cosmetic box" (Vanity Case) is very old. It was originally a box used to hold cosmetics. The oldest known cosmetic box was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter and is more than 3,000 years old. The ancient Chinese cosmetic box "lián" (lián) lasted from the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, most of them were lacquer cosmetic boxes , which could only be enjoyed by prestigious nobles.

In the 1920s, Europe also pushed the design of makeup boxes to new heights. Many well-known European jewelers used precious materials and exquisite craftsmanship to make makeup boxes, including enamel painting , gem inlay , etc., and set bracelets or handles on the top for easy carrying at balls, dinners or travel.

Saint Laurent launched items such as suede vanity cases and mini cosmetic bags in the 20th century. The new Gaby Vanity cosmetic bag is based on the classic bag and has been optimized to better suit contemporary aesthetics . The rounded rectangular base is friendly, and the double-layer splicing structure on the back makes the bag less likely to deform.

· Diamond quilting·

The bag is made of black lambskin , which feels particularly soft and delicate. The quilting technique injects a retro flavor into the bag - by filling the interior with soft material and then using stitching to outline the diamond pattern, the lambskin looks full and has excellent flexibility. The inflatable fluffy texture not only emphasizes the shape of the bag, but also makes it look lighter visually.

The wraparound zipper design allows the bag cover to be opened and closed at a large angle, making it easy to take items in and out. The bronze zipper also cleverly echoes the metal logo, adding smart details to the bag.

· YSL emblem ·

The distinctive and simple "YSL Cassandre" metal emblem is a classic symbol that never goes out of season. It has also become the most recognizable feature of this bag. The deliberately aged bronze metal texture is cleverly matched with the retro quilted design.

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.

· How do I carry this bag? ·

There is an elegant arched handle on the top of the bag , and the hard padded structure always maintains a perfect outline, making it delicate and elegant when carried in the hand.

The metal buckles on both sides can be connected to the black leather shoulder straps. The adjustable design allows for shoulder and crossbody carrying, allowing you to free your hands and travel easily.

What can this bag hold?

The lining of the bag is also made of black lambskin. The flat pocket on the back can store important items such as cards and receipts, and the gold-plated logo is used as an embellishment.

In addition to its good looks, the Gaby Vanity handbag is also impeccably practical. We put a bifold wallet, air cushion powder, tissues, iPhone, lipstick, perfume, headphones, keys and other items in the bag. The capacity is enough to dominate the small bag world, and the simple and exquisite appearance is suitable for shopping or daily commuting.
