Just when I thought designers have exhausted all ways of interpreting CHANEL’s classic chain shoulder bag, YSL surprises me with Le Sixième. I’m not usually into stamped exotics but I have a sample of YSL’s Roady hobo stamped stingray sitting in my room right now and I have to tell you, it’s incredible how real it feels and looks! Le Sixième is a Net-a-porter.com exclusive so I’ll have to stop at their office later if I want to see it in person but from the photos, pretty damn fabulous! Let’s start with the chain, I like the open rings mixed with it (Givenchy did something similar with multi chains that I found too busy) but am a bit concerned with lack of shoulder strap rest. Just don’t wear this with a bare shoulder and you should be fine. Long haired snobs should also be careful. The body of the bag is structured yet supple, the printed stingray is as sturdy as the real thing so the top should not collapse into the bag. Like the CHANEL, there is a flap back pocket, too! For $1,695 you’ll get a dose of timeless classic in a must have exotic look. Not bad!
