In the late 2010s, the camera bag was a hugely popular handbag style due to its petite, boxy shape, reminiscent of the chunky cameras of the ’90s and 2000s. This silhouette not only offers fashion appeal but practicality as well, with its zip-around design, roomy interior, and crossbody strap. Despite the rising cost of handbags, it remains an affordable, entry-level option in a designer’s collection.
Although the price has risen to well over $1,000 (remember when the Gucci Marmont Mini was under $1K… it’s now $1,550!), the camera bag remains a relatively more affordable choice in the luxury market. Now, there is a new addition to consider from Saint Laurent; a sleek update to its classic camera bag for fall 2024.
A camera bag is a wardrobe essential for everyone, thanks to its affordability, functionality, and versatility in dressing up or down. Saint Laurent has previously offered variations of this classic shape, such as the Lou, Mini Lou, and Blogger. The newest addition is the Cassandre Mattelassé Carré Mini Camera bag, featuring a quilted overstitched lambskin leather and YSL hardware. This mini-sized bag, falling between the Classic Lou and Mini Lou, is 7.7″ X 5.5″ X 1.6″ and has a zipped main compartment for maximum organization, along with one slit pocket inside.
The bag is both ideal for busy days and nights out. What are your thoughts?
