Formally established as a brand in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most prized fashion labels in the entire world. From Paris, this company was quick to establish itself within the world of high-fashion and all-things haute. From shirts and hats to shoes and jewelry, Yves Saint Laurent produces a great range of luxury fashion products. But like many other leading fashion labels, their handbags are often considered some of the brands finest work. They currently sell over 100 differnt handbags that come in many different styles, and of course, they are all extremely expensive. We’re talking about a “cheap” bag that costs over $500 dollars, at least. So what do they have to offer at the high-end of things? Here we take a look at five of their most expensive handbags that they currently sell.
5. The Baby Sac de Jour Bag in Black Leather – $2,590

4. The Medium Emmanuelle Fringed Bucket Bag – $2,690
With a price of $2,690 dollars, the Medium Emmanuelle Fringed Bucket Bag comes in next on our list.

1. The Small Sac de Jour Bag in Red Crocodile Embossed Leather – $2,990
When crocodile leather is used, regardless of the label or specific product category, it’s often one of a companies most expensive products. Well that certainly holds true with the Small Sac de Jour Bag in Red Crocodile Embossed Leather. In terms of dimensions and features, it’s pretty much the same as the number 5 bag on our list. But like the name implies, this one is made from crocodile leather, and that is why this bag costs $2,990 dollars. Oh, and the Yves Saint Laurent logo as well.
