The Curation Note

The Saint Laurent Icare Maxi Shopping Bag is Anthony Vaccarello’s definitive statement piece — an oversized, deliberately excessive lambskin tote whose sheer scale commands a room. The massively proportioned YSL Cassandre logo (the interlocking Y-S-L, redesigned in 1966 by Adolphe Cassandre) transforms the bag from accessory into billboard. In black or white lambskin, the Icare has become a genuine cultural signifier. It has been photographed on virtually every major fashion week street-style account globally, while simultaneously maintaining strong resale demand. Lambskin, though delicate, takes on a beautiful patina with wear.
