Hard-edged trend has become the mainstream of Yves Saint Laurent handbags in this season. The harmonious combination of leather and chain always create a handbag with modernity and sophistication. Roady hobo which I have introduced in my previous posting belongs to this category. Here comes another Yves Saint Laurent bag, named Nappa Leather Clutch.
If you are familiar with the fashion trend related to color, you should know that gray is one of the stylish colors of this season. Leaving the impression of modern neutral shade, this bag is colored with gray. Coated in ths supple leather, the bag presents us a touch of morbidezza which the chain tries to create hard and tough feeling in appearance. The contrast of softness and toughness gives us a special kind of beauty and charm. So this Yves Saint Laurent handbag is definitely trendy for this season.
Besides, opening a magnetic snap fastening on the fold-over flap shows the fine chocolate suede lining and a pouch pocket is ingeniously designed for holding your small necessities. And the chains on the sides are also used for attaching the detachable shoulder strap, which enables the bag to be carried across the shoulder or as a clutch. This Yves Saint Laurent Nappa Leather Clutch is retailed for $1495.
Ladies and gents, I need you to weigh in here. I cannot decide whether or not this Yves Saint Laurent handbag is genius or simply not enough for what you are paying for.
Yves Saint Laurent is one of those brands, one of those brands that is almost always worth a second look. This is the case because the first look might take you in the wrong direction, but the second look, the second look could reveal sheer genius. While I want that to be the case here, I just don’t think that is the case.
The thing about the Yves Saint Laurent Yes Large Leather Bag is that it actually is a bit of genius. It is the kind of day-to-day genius that so many bags lack sometimes. This bag is slouchy, yet structured. The colors are neutral, yet versatile. But, is it worth the price? I love handbags, I really do. And I have no problem spending big bucks on a bag I love, but is this bag worth it’s price tag?
The olive-green leather tote has a contrast pale-green leather trim and two pale green handles. You might not be able to tell, but if you press the studs at the side, you can actually adjust the size of the handles – always a nice, understated detail. Clearly the bag is functional, and it is also fashionable, but I am stuck on the price. I can see tons of women carrying this bag and loving it – loving it for seasons to come, but I have some reservations. What do you think?
Not since Sex and the City has a TV series prompted so much shoe and bag lust as Gossip Girl and the latest arm candy to leap from our screens and into our hearts is the Yves Saint Laurent ‘Roady’ bag, pictured above.
The classic hobo makes its debut in episode 12 of season 3, to the awe and wonderment of the show’s main characters – and it’s been having a similar effect on audiences in the States ever since. Kylie Minogue, Mary-Kate Olsen and Rihanna are also big fans of the bag, and have all been spotted wearing it in recent weeks. Rendered in black, the bag is timeless chic, for everyday or evening wear.

I’ve had a bit of a crush on Yves Saint Laurent since their pre-fall bags started rolling out, and it doesn’t look to be ending any time soon. I normally prefer things with a bit more of an edgy look, so this might be a sign of maturation on my part. Or maybe the bags are just that good – maybe they’re so well-designed that it’s impossible not to find some kind of attractiveness in them, no matter what your personal taste.
I’m not sure which one it is, but I’m absolutely sure that I love the Yves Saint Laurent Flap Shoulder Bag. There’s a beauty in its simplicity that I find irresistible.
And really, how could you not love it, or at least appreciate the restrained hand that created it? The leather that YSL chose is sumptuous, textured and with slight color variations, but none of those things is present in quantities that would make the bag look over-processed or unedited. The folds that create the flap are elaborate and luxurious, but when you look at the closed bag, they all fall perfectly in to line.
The hardware on the bag might be my favorite aspect. The hook handle attachments are something that YSL has shown on several other bags this season, and I can’t get over how much I like them. They’re sculptural and elegant while still being thick and tough; it’s an effect that matches exactly with the soft but weathered leather that makes up the bag, and the details are subtle enough to not overwhelm the deceptively simple construction.
I know some people will say that this bag is boring, but I would strenuously disagree. Everything that’s done with this bag is done with the utmost care and attention to detail, and I’d rather that a designer focus on getting a few key things exactly right than bog down a bag with poorly conceived design elements just for the sake of visual interest. My love affair with YSL continues
- There is a bag that claudia schiffer is carrying that appears in sunday mirror mag (14.9.08). Would you be able to find out the make at all? so many thanks if you can and for trying. – Chris
Hi Chris, unfortunately I couldn’t nab myself a copy of the Sunday Mirror mag to see which bag exactly had caught your eye. But my guess is it is the bag above, as Claudia has been photographed with it quite often this year, and in particular around the end of August/early September which is the date of the mag you mentioned. This bag is a YSL Muse Two, in beige leather, and as you can see, looks fantastic whether you’re in your trackies or looking glam in a patent trench! It’s not cheap ($1,995) but looks set to become one of those timeless classics you’ll never regret purchasing.
