Owning a Yves Saint Laurent bag has been on my wish list for the longest time and I have been pondering on which one to get. Well, I would buy them all if I can afford to and have the extra space in my wardrobe to display all my ‘babies’.

The YSL Oversized Muse in Black Stingray Printed Leather

The most iconic YSL bag, the Muse  is a marriage of avant-garde chic and urban sophistication, the oversized iconic Yves Saint Laurent Muse bag in lavishly printed stingray leather is as versatile as it is luxurious. Its signature padlock and stitched “Y” design add a subtly rich detail, while brass rings and rivets provide a touch of Rive Gauche attitude. Double handles long enough to be hand or shoulder carried, along with a double zip opening for easy access add to the bag’s comfort.It measures 17.5″ x 6″, Drop 7″. Note for guys, make sure you buy the Oversized Muse and not the normal sized one, that will be too small.

 

 

Large YSL Cabas Chyc in Black Leather

Continuing in the iconic Yves Saint Laurent fashion of functional and chic, this large volume YSL bag is a modern take on the iconic tote.I actually only spotted this bag recently and thought how nice the simple detailing looks and it could work as a office bag for a man. Comfortable tubular handles are secured to the bag’s soft, sturdy body via gold-toned metal rings. A double zip and leather flap with gold-toned “Y” buckle keep items secure. The supple leather outer, with accent panels that create a subtle “Y” outline, allows for the bag to sit comfortably against one’s body. Dimension is 15.5″ x 12″ x 4.5″, Drop 4.5″.
