"Every few years, an animal print is hoisted to fashion superstardom. While the industry is embracing all sorts of beastly patterns - from zebras to snakes - in one maximalist cocktail, no creature reigns quite like the leopard. The feline's rise in fashion begun toward the end of 2023, when the "mob wife" aesthetic was born out of quiet luxury fatigue."
"Dip your toe - or rather, your arm - into the trend by carrying a leopard-print It bag. The Saint Laurent Jamie 4.3 Mini in pony hair leather ($3,300) will do just the trick. After the OG version was launched in 2023, the smaller style dropped in March of the following year, featuring the same flap closure but with crossbody flexibility."
Leopard print surged in popularity beginning in late 2023, propelled by the mob wife aesthetic born from quiet luxury fatigue. Major designers including Versace, Anna Sui, and Roberto Cavalli showcased leopard patterns on Fall/Winter 2025 runways, maintaining the print's prominence. The trend appears strongly in handbags, highlighted by the Saint Laurent Jamie 4.3 Mini in pony hair leather ($3,300), which offers flap closure and crossbody flexibility. Leopard accessories can elevate simple outfits or be paired with additional spotted pieces for maximalist looks. Alternative feline prints like cheetah and jaguar remain chic options.
