The Saint Laurent backpack is the best fashion gift our editors are hoping to give and to receive
When it comes to holiday shopping, it’s always exciting when you can find a gift that’s perfect for everyone on you list, and this year that gift is the Saint Laurent backpack. We’re taking all the guess work out of holiday gift shopping for you and sharing how each of these FW16 styles can be an instant winner for everyone on your list.
The FW16 Saint Laurent Backpack Collection
Founded in 1961, Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury pret-a-porter in their 1966 collection called “Rive Gauche,” synonymous with youth and freedom. That collection was said to represent one of the first critical steps in the modernization of fashion.
Today, the brand continues to push boundaries. Most of the FW16 collection is unisex, masterfully reflecting Saint Laurent Creative Director, Hedi Slimane’s take on the ever popular androgynous look.
The seventies and utilitarian styles made a comeback in the FW16 backpack collection. A series of backpacks inspired by hippie luxe and a quirky polished grunge and rock n roll vibe, make this Saint Laurent backpack collection an exciting prospect for most fashion personalities.
From patches to sequins, camouflage and embroideries, the craftsmanship is unbelievably made entirely by hand. Many items in the FW16 collection lend themselves to pop culture references and harness graphic patterns sure to turn any occasion into a special occasion.
