I just saw the entire YSL Cruise collection and I still can’t decide which one I love the most so here are all of them. Of course, everyone has been going on about the Rive Gauche ostrich since Katie Holmes was spotted with it in Taupe. It also comes in Almond, Sage, Dark Brown, Tan and Olive Green and is $4995. Get the Muse ostrich wallet to match, it is absolutely divine! For your other exotic fix, the Downtown in the nut color python is ridiculously luscious. You better get ready for some serious attention because this bag is not to be overlooked ($2995). If you are looking for a sensible bag but don’t want to settle for a common skin, the Downtown also comes in deer and buffalo. I recommend the deer, it is still as sturdy as you’ll need but not as heavy (and slightly less expensive). White of course is the choice color for this grande bag, $1395 in deer and $1595 in buffalo. All are available at the YSL Boutique in NYC on 57th (Madison store is closed for renovations), 212-988-3821 and ask for Carlo Nieda, he’s a doll!
Happy New Year, dear Bagsnobs! Xin nian kuai le!
Wishing you a fulfilling year of bags and great reviews.
Yes! This collection had me ABSOLUTELY purring! The ostrich Rive Gauche tote is ALL of my Spring dreams in ONE bag! It’s amazing! Brook, London
Speaking of yummy ostrich bags…have you guys seen the Sergio Rossi cream ostrich bag. I also comes in plain black leather and it is beautiful. It reminds me of the Jimmy Choo “Ramona”, but I think it is much nicer. They don’t have any online pics of the bag, but if you happen to be out shopping stop by their boutique and take a look. It’s pretty cute… and its only $3,900.
Bag snobs, what do you think of the Rive Gauche satchel? I saw them when I was in Vegas and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind…
Bag Snobs, it may be too late to ask, but does anyone have any idea how much the Muse wallet in ostrich goes for? It’s the only price that Kelly didn’t mention… I’m obsessing over the taupe RG ostrich bag, but since it’s WAY too expensive, may settle for the wallet!
Bag Snobs, we are almost in autumn winter …sadly. even if if the YSL cruise collection is past now, i want to purchase the Rive Gauche in exotic ostrich but i am still hesitating between 2 colors: in “sand or is it cream ” as per image posted or in “taupe” (slighly grey as spotted on la Sienna Miller).
Taupe is more autumn but Vanilla is really an arm candy…any opinion girls?
also what is the exact color on the picture ?
thanks xxx
