YSL bag size and style guide

The Saint Laurent bag range is packed with modern and stylish designs that are loved the world over. Adorn Collection is Adelaide’s only Designer Bag Hire business and has many different YSL styles to choose from, along with other high end luxury brands.

The ‘Kate’ bag is a versatile wardrobe staple that looks incredible dressed up or down for any special event. They come in different sizes, textures and finishes from crocodile effect to patent leather. You can also choose one with or without the iconic tassel.

Three sizes of the Kate bag are currently in stock and range from the ‘original’ small size to the ever popular medium size, which will fit your phone, cards and a decent stash of essentials inside.

The Wallet on Chain styles are sought after for their classic chevron stitching and removable chains. With many colour options available there is one to compliment an outfit for every occasion. The smaller of the Wallet on Chain styles is quite little and doesn’t fit all phone sizes. This style in Navy Blue was part of Kimmi Varcoe’s winning outfit for the South Australian Myer Fashions on the Field competition.

Here’s a quick guide which will help you compare the YSL sizes and find one (or two) that are the best fit for you.

Below you can see the three Kate bag sizes… Medium (with tassel), New Small (with tassel), Old Small

Above left to right: Black old small, Silver WOC, Red new small, Pink Chevron WOC, Medium Kate Monogram (no tassel)

Original Small Kate (17 x 11 x 4 cm)
-Fits keys, lipstick and a regular iPhone (not the Plus size, larger phones don’t fit inside or may squeeze in diagonally) 
-This fits a lot less than the ‘NEW’ size small Kate bag, if your phone is small you may get a lipstick and/or keys inside
-Can be worn with long strap over shoulder, across body or double over for a short chain

Wallet on Chain (Size: 19 x 12 x 3.5cm) – THIS STYLE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO HIRE

-Card slots and one zip coin compartment
-Fits iPhone Plus, lipstick and small set of keys. This is a teeny bag and doesn’t fit much in compared to the larger WOC 
-Chain is removable. 

New Small Kate (20 x 13 x 5 cm)
-Main compartment with slim slot pocket for cards and cash
-Fits an iPhone Plus and makeup essentials
-Comes with or without a tassel
-The same size as the Medium Kate bag but a little shorter in length.
-Carry with long strap over shoulder, across body or double over for a short chain

YSL Monogram Chevron Wallet on Chain (Size: 22.5 x 14 x 4 cm)

-Multiple slim main compartments are separated by slot pockets
-Has a large zipper section for cards and cash
-Fits an iPhone Plus and other essentials like lipstick or keys but can be bulky if you try to fit more in
-Chain is detachable so it can be used as a hand held clutch

Classic Clutch (24 x 14 x 4.5 cm)

-Generous main compartment with a slim slot pocket
-Slightly smaller inside than the Medium Kate size
-Room to carry all your essentials including glasses and phone
-Stands up on it’s own so you can place it on a table without falling over
-Comes with a removable chain strap and pouch insert (when hired). If buying one I recommend purchasing a custom pouch and removable chain strap so you can use it over the shoulder

Medium Kate (24 x 14.5 x 5.5 cm)

-Generous main compartment with slot pocket inside
-Room to carry all your essentials including glasses and phone
-A great option if you need something to stash a few extras in for longer events (ie. wedding)
-Carry with long strap over shoulder, across body or double over for a short chain

V-Flap Quilted Pouch (27 x 16 x 0.5 cm) – THIS STYLE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO HIRE

-Slimline main compartment with slot pocket and magnetic closure
-Will fit a large phone (including iPhone Plus) and some essentials
-I recommend purchasing a custom pouch and removable chain strap so you can use it over the shoulder

How do they measure up?

The size you choose will ultimately depend on the event you are going to and what you will need to take with you. With so many colour options and sizes online at www.adornmillinery.com.au/bag-hire there will be one to suit your needs.
