Respiro – breathe – says Anthony Vaccarello. With a restorative inhalation, we welcome the new summer accessory collection from Saint Laurent. Sun-drenched and airy, the house reimagines raffia and wooden beads to create lightweight silhouettes inspired by the Moroccan resort universe of Yves Saint Laurent. Eponymous in name, emblematic in nature, the Respiro collection is an invitation to slip into summer with elegance and ease.

ON THE ROAD TO RAFFIA

Close your eyes and imagine: salt in hair, feet in sand, raffia in hand. Breathing in, as Saint Laurent instructs, we day dream of azure blue skies, sunlight dancing on the sea, and a bag of summer essentials effortlessly swinging off your shoulder. A call to a life of simplicity and nature. Striking the exacting balance between coastal consciousness and Parisian precision, the raffia collection is a masterclass of sophistication and handcrafted design.
