Saint Laurent Icare Tote Bag - Black Raffia

Make a striking, texturally rich statement with the legendary Saint Laurent Icare Maxi Tote Bag, beautifully reimagined in an eco-conscious, hand-crocheted black raffia silhouette. Perfectly bridging the gap between raw organic beauty and high-fashion edge, this oversized tote is meticulously crafted entirely by hand by highly specialized artisans. It is trimmed with premium vegetable-tanned leather details that handsomely ground its relaxed, bohemian elegance.

For the production of this exceptional piece, Saint Laurent partnered with Akanjo—a World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) certified social enterprise in Madagascar—directly supporting the preservation of local craft, artisan training, and fair trade practices.

The sprawling front facade is adorned with an iconic, oversized interlocking CASSANDRE emblem in a warm, antiqued bronze finish. Highly versatile in form, the bag features interior leather ties that allow you to collapse the sides into a structural trapeze shape or expand them completely into an expansive shopping tote. The grand interior offers unparalleled space for your summer or daily city essentials, completed by a removable, matching raffia sunglasses case safely affixed to an integrated inner chain.
