When we say with confidence that every ‘great bag’ has their own ‘great story’, we really mean it.

After Hedi Slimane chopped the Yves from the Yves Saint Laurent name, he then introduced a couple if new bags that looked amazingly timeless. And I need to give him a compliment for keeping the YSL logo on most of these accessories.

The Saint Laurent Monogram Université shoulder bag has a story to tell – so sit down, relax and enjoy what I am about to share. It’s designed in 2014 by Hedi slimane, the Université bag has been added to the classic Monogram Saint Laurent Line and it bears the name of the street Rue de L’université.

But what is ‘Rue de L’université’ ?

It’s where the house of Saint Laurent established its salons de couture this year. The Université bag is a transposition of a classic french satchel to be worn over the shoulder or with the shoulder strap.

To be honest, we didn’t know much about this bag until Yves Saint Laurent contacted us last week. We were informed that its one of their classic design and instantly we knew it must be shared with you.

This bag comes in two sizes – small and medium. Small is measured 10 x 17 x 5 cm (H x W x D) and medium is measured 21 x 29 x 9 cm (H x W x D).
