Oyster Market: ‘New Territory’ Ft. The Saint Laurent Vicky Bag
Essentials only.
First introduced as part of the Spring 18 collection, Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello-designed Vicky bag is one to live for. It pushes new territories with bold geometry, a slick 80s appeal, and luxe fabrications of mirrored patent and soft lambskin — with that superb vertical quilting!

In all the freshness, artisanal traditions aren’t forgotten. They’re held onto via a well-detailed assembly process that takes even the most experienced craftsperson over five hours to complete, which includes the insertion of a cork base that keeps its shape for life.

Not forgetting comfort and function; the glittering chain is interrupted by a leather piece for the shoulder, the main flap adorned with a YSL plaque keeps what’s inside safe, and there’s a slim pocket in the back for things you need to get to fast. Plus, doesn’t Kaia Gerber just look so good carrying it…
