YSL Canvas "Y" Shopper

| 8 Comments

Sometime we forget the luxury of a well made timeless, simple classic from a designer we know and trust. We are always looking for new designers but the tried and true will always hold that special place in our hearts and that is why this bag makes me feel so good. This is your classic tote that will stay with you for years and as a summer piece will carry you through thick and thin. We love the Y collection especially the ingenious reversible tote (I love it in purple - a must have!!) because the "Y" is brilliantly incorporated in the design as a nice detail rather than an obnoxious billboard. There are so many fine structural details on this bag that may be overlooked, like the way the gusset comes together, the way the corners are darted and sewn perfectly neatly, that makes this bag an obvious luxury item. I am obviously trying to convince myself that this is a great addition to my collection and being that it is available at Bluefly for only $956 makes it that much harder to pass up. I mean, it was originally $1195 and it's still early in the season so I will still get a lot of use out of it. This is when I call Tina and she talks me out of it because she will say that canvas is not worth it. Decisions, decisions!

  • This is one canvas bag that I approve of! I think you should go for it! It's gorgeously made, the leather and canvas fuse together seamlessly and looks incredibly well made.
    My only concern is the weight, it looks very heavy... I think the R&Y Agousti white patent might be a better buy, I will go grab it this weekend for you.

  • Speaking of canvas and Cameron Diaz (earlier post) what do you think of the Marc Jacobs canvas studded bag. I can't belive I am gonna say this but I like it, a lot.

  • This is timeless, perfect. Love it!

  • A really lovely bag - a rare case of a designer handbag perhaps being worth the price!

    The design is so simple and classic you will be able to carry it forever!

  • Reminds me of a pair of Y fronts (mens shorts, in case you don't have them over there).

  • It's on sale at Bluefly for $812.60!!

  • I would not suggest as a canvas bag certainly doesnt worth it, if you'd prefer totes, look for Prada
