![]() I have to admit buying the Saint Laurent bag in the linen fabric made me a little nervous, but the linen is coated so it definitely doesn’t wear like typical linen does. The main reason I didn’t go for the Chanel Deauville tote was because I was worried it would get dirty easily and I wanted to buy a summer bag that I could take everywhere and not be super worried about ruining it. I was a little torn between this bag and the Chanel Deauville tote in gold/ivory – which was obviously more expensive and harder to track down. I’ve actually had this bag on my wish list since last spring and after waiting an entire year, I knew as soon as spring hit that this bag would be my main designer bag purchase for summer. I’ve talked a lot about how I carefully make investment bag purchases and why I don’t typically go for the “it” bags of the moment. It’s been my go-to bag this summer and I envision using it as a travel bag through the fall. I bought my Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote this past spring and have already gotten so much wear out of it. After sharing my review of the Givenchy Antigona bag so many of you reached out asking me to review this bag next. The current retail price of the Rive Gauche is around $ 1,690 for the standard size and $1,390 for the smaller size.Today I’m back reviewing another highly-requested bag – the Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote. The Rive Gauche comes in two sizes – the ‘original’ size and a small size. That being said, the linen of the bag is coated which makes it more sturdy, easier to wipe clean and also helps the bag retain its structure. ![]() In terms of longevity and durability, the main concern that potential wearers of the Rive Gauche tote tend to have is the fact that it is made from linen, which means it could wear easily and also be difficult to keep lighter colours clean. Additionally, if you’re looking to glam up your beach outfit, the Rive Gauche also seems to be one of the most popular designer beach bags of Summer 2022. Just like any other tote bag, the YSL Rive Gauche is a great bag for day to day use and would also make a convenient yet stylish travel bag. Should you need to carry a number of smaller items in the Rive Gauche and are worried about keeping things organised, you can easily do this by getting your hands on an organiser made specifically for the bag like this one on Etsy. The interior is lined with canvas and has one main compartment with a zipped pocket at the back. It comes with a triple engraved snap button closure along the top which also adds a nice touch of hardware to the bag. One definite plus point of the Rive Gauche tote is that it can be properly closed shut, unlike some other designer totes (e.g. The bag has ‘RIVE GAUCHE’ printed across the front with a slightly smaller ‘SAINT LAURENT’ written beneath it, and kind of looks like a higher end version of the Marc Jacobs Tote Bag. It is shaped like and functions as a typical tote bag and is made of cotton (~60%) and linen (~40%) but comes with leather handles. The Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote bag has been around for a couple of years, but has become increasingly popular during the Spring / Summer 2022 season.
