<\/p>\nYou can never go wrong with a black flap bag. It is the quintessential style staple, the accessory you can wear with every outfit and on every occasion. And today\u2019s Saint Laurent Classic Monogram Envelope Chain Bag embraces the classic look and adds to it a character of its own.<\/p>\n

You can almost feel the history behind its beauty\u2026 the fusion between the craziness of the 80\u2019s with the class of the 50\u2019s gives it just the right touch of elegance with a twist. Its mattelasse chevron stitching gives us a throwback to fierce designs, combined with a gold-tone gourmette strap and supple black leather for a distinctly vintage appeal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s stitch and colors aren\u2019t the\u00a0only parts of this bag that will throw you back to fashion history. The bag features Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic logo, the designer’s three initials overlapping in a vertical arrangement, which was created by the French-Austrian artist Adolphe Mouron in the early 60\u2019s. Mouron, or Cassandre, as he preferred to be known, was famous for designing well-known typefaces, and striking covers for no other than Harper’s Bazaar. With this logo, he perfectly captured the essence of YSL, making it a symbol of the French Fashion House\u2019s quality and elegance for over four decades.<\/p>\n
