Steadily climbing Lyst’s Index of fashion’s hottest brands—currently sitting just under Miu Miu—Saint Laurent’s hold on the fashion world shows no sign of slowing. Its bags in particular, have managed to stay at the top of every fashion person’s wish list year after year, and on the arms every It girl worth her salt. From Hailey Bieber to Zoë Kravitz, their loyalty speaks volumes, and no line captures the house’s quiet confidence quite like Le 5 à 7.
The name itself is a nod to French cinema—specifically Cléo from 5 to 7, the 1962 film that inspired creative director Anthony Vaccarello’s vision for the range. Much like the movie’s Parisian heroine, Le 5 à 7 bags are designed to transition effortlessly from day to night—that in-between window when office hours melt into evening plans. Crafted in supple, grained leather and finished with the signature Cassandre YSL clasp, each piece distils Saint Laurent’s DNA: refined, sensual, and modern.

While the classic hobo silhouette remains a firm favourite (Hailey Bieber’s worn hers on repeat in black and oxblood), it’s the Le 5 à 7 Supple Grained Leather Bag that’s currently stealing my attention. It perfectly encapsulates everything the line stands for—minimal, structured but never stiff, and elegant without trying too hard. The softer leather gives it a relaxed ease, while the spacious interior fits everything you actually need—including a laptop, if you opt for the larger size.
Laura Harrier has made it part of her daily rotation, pairing it with sleek tailoring or jeans and a blazer, while Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Zoë Kravitz have both carried it too, proving its versatility across styles. Whether slung over your shoulder or tucked neatly under your arm, Le 5 à 7 always feels right.

And that’s exactly what cements its appeal. In an era of fleeting trends, the Le 5 à 7 has already earned its place among the new-generation icons—a timeless investment that looks as relevant now as it will five years from today.
