Tuesday Dreaming: Saint Laurent Sac de Jour

Currently dreaming of a Sac de Jour in the small size. There are a number of new shades coming out this fall, I'm particularly smitten with the fact that they now come in a grained leather texture. I've long avoided looking further into the Sac de Jours because of the delicate leather, I'm hoping the leather will be sturdier now that there is a pebbled option. Beautiful shades above, all in the small size which measures approximately 12½"W X 10½"H X 6"D:

Grey (smooth), Taupe (grained), Marine (grained)

Black (grained), Earth (grained), Lipstick Red (grained)
