Saint Laurent Spring 26 Mombasa Bag Reimagined
Rediscovering a Heritage Icon in Modern Luxury
Saint Laurent’s Spring 26 season emerges as an ode to understated glamour — bringing back the fabled Mombasa bag with renewed refinement. The campaign stars Bella Hadid, captured through the evocative lens of director Glen Luchford under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello — a visual symphony that pays homage to the House’s legacy while aligning with contemporary luxury sensibilities.

A Triumphant Return: The Mombasa Bag
Originally launched in 2002, the Mombasa bag quickly became a coveted piece of fashion history — notable for its relaxed silhouette, distinctive handle, and effortless elegance that transcended trends. This season, Saint Laurent reinstates the Mombasa with a faithful reinterpretation that honors its original ethos while enhancing its everyday wearability.
- Large & Medium: Zipped interior pocket and suede calfskin lining, tailored for effortless carry
- Small: A refined miniature form also rendered in dark bay leaf alligator — a nod to haute materials and exclusivity
Colorways include classic black alongside rich hues like rouge cabernet, santal, and dark oat, each articulated in premium Courchevel leather, vintage calfskin, and pony leather for tactile richness.

Elevated Everyday Attitude
What makes the Mombasa’s resurgence noteworthy is not just its lineage but its effortless integration into the wardrobe of the discerning global citizen. Its relaxed shoulder carry and natural slouch transcend transient trends — embodying a core principle of lasting elegance.
Luxe Craftsmanship Meets Urban Utility
The careful choice of materials — from supple calfskin to exotic alligator — underscores Saint Laurent’s commitment to haute leatherwork, reminding connoisseurs why heritage brands resonate with those who seek refined functionality in everyday wearable art.
