YSL Tote Bags: Sac de Jour, Shopping and Icare

0

Saint Laurent makes three kinds of tote: the structured Sac de Jour, the soft leather Shopping tote and the quilted Icare. Shop totes and top handle bags at Luxury Handbags and see the Saint Laurent hub.

Sac de Jour

The structured top handle bag with the padlock and accordion sides. It keeps its shape and suits the office. See the Sac de Jour size guide.

Shopping

A soft leather tote with long handles and Saint Laurent printed on the front. It is the lightest Saint Laurent tote.

Icare

A large quilted tote with the oversized Cassandre, big enough for most laptops; check the dimensions on the product page. The quilting makes it soft and slouchy.

Sac de Jour sizes

Nano and baby are the most popular for daily wear, small takes a tablet and documents, and large is a true work tote. The Sac de Jour size guide has every measurement.

Totes for travel and work

For a laptop, choose a large Sac de Jour, the Icare and a large Shopping. For travel, the soft Shopping is lightest. For meetings, the structured Sac de Jour stands on the table.

Care

Do not overfill a structured tote, which stretches the sides. Store it stuffed with paper in its dust bag. Wipe leather with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of rain.

Which tote fits you

Compare the dimensions on each Luxury Handbags product page against your laptop and your daily kit. Read every YSL bag explained for the wider range.

Which tote to choose

For the office, the Sac de Jour. For everyday weight, the Shopping. For a statement, the Icare. Compare prices in YSL bag prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the YSL Icare fit a laptop?

The Icare is big enough for most laptops. Check the dimensions on the product page against yours.

Is the Sac de Jour heavy?

It is structured leather, so it is heavier than the Shopping tote, especially in the larger sizes.
