If you’ve taken a peek at the luxury scene in recent seasons, you may have noticed that one microtrend in particular has been on the rise. Slowly but surely, the designer logo belt has made its way back into the zeitgeist. After years of rising and falling in popularity, we’ve finally hit a sweet spot that perfectly balances the playful wink to luxury without being ostentatious. And one logo in particular is accenting stylish outfits across the globe. Now, the Saint Laurent Cassandre belt is one of the most coveted entry-level luxury buys.

When it comes to the biggest design houses around, all the key players have a signifying icon that informs us of a piece’s origin. Chanel’s double C has become almost as iconic as the flap bag, whilst Prada’s triangle makes a noticeable luxury link even without the brand’s name. For Saint Laurent, it’s the Cassandre. The layered initials of YSL remain a key reference in denoting the luxurious provenance of the brand’s pieces, accenting all styles from the beloved Le Loafers to acting as a closure on some of Saint Laurent’s best bags.
