The Saint Laurent Le 5 A 7 collection comes with a cool backstory that adds an extra layer of charm to these iconic bags. Named after one of Anthony Vaccarello’s favorite cult classic films, “Cleo from 5 to 7,” this collection draws its inspiration from the 1962 French New Wave drama film written and directed by Agnes Varda. The title of the collection, “Le 5 A 7,” translates to “the 5 to 7,” emphasizing the specific time of day when this style of bag is most commonly used. Happy hour, anyone? This unique connection to French cinema and the stylish allure of the collection itself makes these Saint Laurent bags all the more captivating.
Debuted on the FW23 runway, the Squeeze bag is LOEWE’s new statement bag. Named for its squishy handle, the Squeeze’s distinctive ruched shape is the result of its extraordinarily soft leather and an innovative design process. Seemingly simple, the Squeeze bag blends traditional craftsmanship with innovative design research: unlined butter soft nappa leather specially developed for lightness and durability, a handle designed to ensure a comfortable carry, and a gold-plated donut chain with a clever system for adjusting the length.
