Saint Laurent: Parallel World
With its classic lines and cut, Bellechasse by Saint Laurent is sure to captivate every purist’s imagination.
Parisian at heart
Presented as a part of the pre-fall 2017 collection and named by Anthony Vaccarello, the Bellechasse represents a return to the origins for this Parisian house. It takes its name from the 8th Arrondissement, the famous shopping street in Paris on the right bank of River Seine, where it is intended to be inaugurated next year.
Minimalistic elegance
Defined by the contours of a woman’s body, Saint Laurent is freeing the world from the dictates of fashion and of our times, is what Anthony Vaccarello believes. This bag, in smooth leather and soft suede, has an insolent simplicity and a functional design that puts practicality at the heart of their design principle. A true companion, Bellechasse has a strap with which it can be worn across the chest, perfect for the urban Amazonian looking for that freedom of movement.

Back to school
Envisioned in two versions, accompanied by a pleat and handle or without, this is a modern reinterpretation of the age-old school bag with straps to let you sling it onto your back as you walk down the street. An elegant finish to the bag is its aged metal, square fastener that comes with the Saint Laurent signature engraved on it.
