If you have been visiting this site for some time, you may be very familiar with my love for Saint Laurent. It is a brand that is truly timeless and as I was growing up with a Vogue rolled up under my arm, it was a brand that I was desperate to adorn myself in.
However, it is a brand that is as expensive as hell and I never in a million years dreamed that I would be able to own a piece from the brand. However, we are now here many years later and I am the proud owner of a small Saint Laurent collection that I am going to share with you in this post.
Black Blazer.
There are a few closet classics that I think everybody should own and a chic black blazer is without a doubt one of those products. A few years back, I had an occasion where I wanted a smart blazer and the first brand that I wanted to go to was Saint Laurent. Since picking this up, I have worn it so much and each and every time, I have fallen more in love with it. This was expensive as hell, but I know I will continue to wear it for many years to come.

Nude Canvas Tote.
I can remember seeing this Saint Laurent Nude Canvas Tote online on the arms of loads of Instagrammers and in the beginning, I wasn’t in love. Straight away, I just thought that it would be vastly impractical because of the colour. However, it played on my mind, and it wasn’t until I was browsing in Selfridges one day, I realised that it was the ideal bag to fill a noticeable gap in my collection. Since picking this up almost 4 years ago, it has become my go-to travel bag. My only criticism is that it can be a little too narrow, but I still adore it.

Universite Satchel.
This was the very first Saint Laurent bag that I fell in love with. It was on the Net-A-Porter website, and I can remember adding it to my favourites and when looking at it every single day. I truly think I stalked that bag on the site every single day until it came up with a ‘LAST ONE’ banner and only then did I buy it. At the time, it was one of the first designer bags that I had bought. Needless to say, I have used it half to death and I now love how aged and beaten it is looking.
Â
Black Leather Jacket.
I was after a boujee ass leather jacket for a very long time. I had one from All Saints, which I completely adored, and I was ready to treat myself to an upgrade. The brand that I instantly walked into to browse was Saint Laurent. After trying a couple on, I decided on one and I was head over heels. The quality was unlike anything else that I had ever tried. The fit was beyond perfect and I felt bloody amazing wearing it.
5/7 Black Croc Bag.
For many years, I didn’t fall head over heels with any new handbag shape, until I saw this new Saint Laurent 5/7 handbag. There was a chic simplicity to the item, and I was in love within an instant. What I really love about this bag is the chic, simplicity. I can pair this with each, and every outfit and it never feels too much, and it can hold hell of a lot inside. This is actually one of my most worn items from the last 12 months because it is just so easy to pair up.

Chica Black Plexi Pumps
For a long time, I felt like my shoe collection was really missing a good, bitchy pair of shoes. You know the heels that make you feel like a solid 10/10. I needed a pair like that and when I saw these online, they were the heels that I needed to add to my collection. Not going to lie, these are probably some of the most uncomfortable heels in my closet, but as soon as I throw them on, I feel amazing.
Â
Tweed Lou Lou Bag.
A couple of years ago, I feel like tweed bags really had their moment and as soon as I saw the Saint Laurent Tweed Lou Lou, I fell in love. It really reminded me of the Chanel 19, but at a much more reasonable price. After picking this up, it quickly became one of my most used items and I truly adore it. This is without a doubt one of my most complimented handbags and it pairs so effortlessly with my closet.
As always, I hope you guys enjoyed this post and getting to take a deep dive into my Saint Laurent collection. These are some truly amazing items and I love every single piece. For me, when I think of fashion houses in general, there is no denying that Saint Laurent will always be one of my favourites. It is elegant, timeless and has an androgynous vibe that I cannot get enough of. As always where possible, I will add links to the items that I have mentioned below. Be sure to leave me a comment below and let me know about some of your favourite Saint Laurent items and why you love them so much!
Saint Laurent is such an elegant and timeless brand in my opinion. It’s so easy to find great pieces from that fashion house.
