Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Leopard Print Structured Bag c. Late 1990s Grey Beige

Rue de Babylone, late afternoon — the first hint of dusk catching on glass and storefront chrome. A structured top-handle bag in Yves Saint Laurent’s signature leopard print, rendered here in soft grey and beige coated canvas, carries the mood of the late 1990s Paris. The house’s Cassandre logo is embossed in serif type on a smooth beige leather patch at the front, a detail drawn by A. M. Cassandre in 1961 and unchanged since.

Double leather handles arc cleanly over the top, framing a silver-tone zip closure free of visible engravings. Inside, beige fabric lining reveals a main compartment with one zip pocket and two slip pockets, all crisply finished. The silhouette is compact and architectural, designed for handheld carry only.

From the Tom Ford era at Yves Saint Laurent, c. late 1990s–early 2000s, when animal prints were reimagined as neutral and the house logo was never just an afterthought. Minor rubbing at the base corners; structure and hardware remain bright.
