What do Kate Moss, Salma Hayek and Queen Rania of Jordan have in common?

The Saint Laurent ‘Betty’ bag.

For Hedi Slimane’s first official outing for Saint Laurent during Spring 2013 Paris Fashion Week, he introduced the world to the ‘Betty’ Bag, named after Betty Catroux (by whom the show was inspired).

He declared a new kind of contemporary elegance with this black structured shoulder bag with a gold chain handle and ‘Saint Laurent Paris’ embossed on the flap opening; the ‘Betty’ has been compared to the classic Chanel ’2.55′ for its ability to become a timeless piece.

Sling it across your shoulder or tote it along like a handbag, this versatile carry-all is certified as a cult-worthy collectible capturing the new spirit of Saint Laurent.
