Usually the first impression is the last impression, but not the Saint Laurent Uptown Bag.

The first time we saw this handbag, we thought of:

• The Lady Dior Tote with Front Pocket



• The Gucci Dionysus Tote with Front Pocket



• The Chanel Neo Executive Tote Bag

We thought the Saint Laurent Uptown Bag is a tote bag with a front pocket. But it’s not. The Uptown Bag is hiding a little secret.

So what’s the secret? The front is made with an envelope-shaped flap featuring the YSL logo. But take a look at this:

The envelope flap is actually a separated pouch bag. Creative right?

And when the Envelope Pouch is removed the tote bag looks even more minimalistic as the center is printed with the house’s logo in small lettering; Saint Laurent.

What’s more? The spot where the pouch was located can be used to store other essentials.

In short, this Uptown Bag is perfect to carry as an everyday bag. But it’s also flexible as the pouch can be taken out and used to company you whenever you are at a formal gathering and for the evenings.

The other details include; the removable shoulder strap for shoulder or cross body carry. The leather option is calfskin.

The interior is made with 2 compartments and 1 slot pocket. So what do you think? Is it a good investment?
