Months before the Internet was judging his first women's runway collection, Hedi Slimane gave his friend Gwyneth Paltrow the Patient Zero handbag from his rebranded Saint Laurent. As paparazzi always do, they snapped her in LAX airport. And when I saw the bag in those photos, I had one of those "I need that" feelings that rarely overcomes me, especially when it comes to purses.
The size and shape is like that of the large version of the Louis Vuitton "Sofia" Coppola tote (beloved by many starlets), and the structured-yet-supple leather reminds me of the rigorously understated bags by the Row. Gone is the huge Y embroidering and heavy hardware. Instead, the Saint Laurent Classic Duffle remains as streamlined as the Tom Ford and Givenchy bags that have been selling so well at places like Barneys, Saks, and the continent of Asia. Yes, it costs a fortune. But at $2,650, it's also half the price of many popular luxury bags. The last time I felt one of these Malcolm Gladwell Blink moments was the first time I saw the Céline Shopper tote. We all know how that worked out. It's only a matter of time before Kate Moss gets her Classic Duffle, breaks it in nicely, and the rest of the world takes her lead.
