If Hailey Bieber were to open up her home and give us a Kris Jenner-style wardrobe tour, we imagine instead of cases of Birkin bags, it would look like a Saint Laurent showroom. The model, who has fronted a number of campaigns for the Parisian house, is often spotted with a Le 5 à 7 bag nestled under her arm, however it's hard to think of a style of Saint Laurent bag that she hasn't been photographed with.

When it comes to luxury handbags , if you are concerned about longevity, Saint Laurent is a wise investment. Instead of churning out flash-in-the-pan It-bags, the design team delivers timeless elegance and stays loyal to the house's heritage codes. Instead of vibrant colours or unusual shapes, the creative director Anthony Vaccarello sticks to a muted colour palette and functional handbag silhouettes, such as top-handle totes, envelope clutches and crossbody bags.

Saint Laurent was named as the fifth hottest brand in Lyst's Index for Q1 2024, which is the first time it has ever been listed within the top five. Searches for its products increased by 10 per cent within a month of the Paris Fashion Week show and the report highlights that the Le 5 à 7 bags are an influential factor in its soaring popularity. Net-A-Porter has also seen a 203 per cent increase in searches for Saint Laurent bags in the last 12 months – the Bea bag (the latest addition to the Le 5 à 7 family), has in the last three months had a 300 per cent spike in searches, while its sister bag, the Supple, has increased by 150 per cent.

Le 5 à 7 bags first launched in the spring/summer 2021 collection, and was named after Agnès Varda's film Cléo from 5 to 7, which is one of Anthony Vaccarello's favourites. The leather shoulder bag has a sleek, streamlined silhouette, with the YSL hardware logo as a clasp, and has become a style signature of Hailey Bieber, Laura Harrier and Zoë Kravitz.

The Supple is the ultimate everyday shoulder bag, made from finely grained leather and with a handy adjustable strap. The large version in green is trending on Net-A-Porter right now, however black, white, tan and camel versions are equally beautiful. This iteration of the house's Le 5 à 7 has an impressive celebrity fan club, as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Laura Harrier, Hailey Bieber and more have all been spotted carrying it recently.
