Package name inspiration
"Le 5 À 7" (Cinq à sept) is a French slang that refers to the leisure time before going home after work, and also includes the meaning of "time for a tryst with a lover." Just like the light and neat appearance of this bag, the name of the bag itself also carries a sense of freedom and unconstrainedness.
The name is taken from the feminist film Cléo de 5 à 7, directed by French female director Varda in 1962. The film tells the story of a female singer who wanders the streets of Paris in panic due to suspected cancer and gradually awakens herself while waiting for the medical examination report for 2 hours. The intriguing name injects a subtle French romantic atmosphere into this bag.

· Minimalist Hobo Bag ·
Returning to the design itself, the shoulder strap and the crescent-shaped bag mouth form a smooth arc structure. This type of bag is also called Hobo Bag , which is called Hobo Bag in Chinese . The reason why it is called "Hobo Bag" is that it is inspired by the Bindle bags of American immigrant workers in the late 19th century. Homeless immigrants wrapped all their belongings in the bundle, hung it on a pole and carried it on their shoulders.

The name Hobo is taken from a literary work, which contains a kind of American semi-heroism. In the novel "Of Mice and Men" (Of Mice and Men), a 20th-century American writer, he wrote: "Thousands of Americans were forced to live a Hobo lifestyle." It is said that the world's first Hobo Bag was born in 1936 and sold for 35 cents .The bag is made of vintage white calfskin , which has a cool and elegant temperament compared to the classic black model. The minimalist appearance makes the leather and workmanship details fully revealed. The front leather piping outlines a neat and crisp silhouette, and the open design is free and easy.
The shoulder strap has 3 adjustment buckles , so you don't have to worry about the bag getting stuck because of the thick coat in autumn and winter. You can carry it in your hand or over your shoulder, whichever is more comfortable.
· YSL lock design ·
The distinctive and simple YSL metal emblem is a classic symbol that never goes out of season and has become the most recognizable feature of this bag.

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.
