Kate
Catalogued July 2026
The Saint Laurent Kate is a sleek rectangular flap bag defined by the large metal YSL Cassandre monogram on the front, which doubles as the closure, on a slim chain shoulder strap. It comes in smooth and quilted leather, often with a hanging tassel drawn through the logo, in small and medium sizes. Clean and evening-ready, it is one of the house's signature chain bags. Its exact introduction year is not cleanly documented, with the design evolving from the house's earlier chain-and-monogram bags.

Live listings for this bag across the marketplaces we track, each rated against the fair value for its spec. We don’t sell these, we link you to the seller. Prices change and sell.
Fair value is the median of recorded resale prices for that spec, broadened and labeled when a spec is thin. Landed estimates add each platform's typical buyer fees and shipping, before sales tax. An estimate, not an appraisal. Affiliate links may earn us a commission.
