Calling all snobs! There’s an official new “It” bag in town, from Los Angeles to New York. Noticed a suspiciously similar roomy tote hanging from the forearms of noted style-setters like Sienna Miller, Leighton Meester, Kylie Minogue, and Carla Bruni and glamorous starlets such as Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Salma Hayek?
Ah, the age-old question of what makes an “It” bag. The answer? It’s the right combination of structure and lack thereof; ease that can be appropriated to any knowing woman’s wardrobe, whether she’s ladylike or bohemian; a major statement-maker without sticking a fat logo in your face and everyone else’s.
The Chyc Cabas is an adaptable carry-all that’s a city girl’s dream: sheepskin leather in a hold-everything size, multiple pockets (two outer, an inside phone and zip), and the trademark magnetic “Y” closure that spells “Yves Saint Laurent” in a single, decorative letter. Plus, a color for every personality – the neutrals: olive-tinted sand, shiny black, grayish brown and the wilds: juicy magenta, punchy blue, and leopard. Available at Yves Saint Laurent and to be available at Saks Fifth Avenue, for $1,995.
I have a love of designer everything…and have a fairly extensive collections of bags. I have yet to purchase a YSL bag…even though I have several pairs of YSL shoes. Could this be the one….love it!!!!
Love the shiny black bag! Love. Maybe can afford it one day…I do like the Y closure too. Very chic, of course YSL is! I like that the bag is big enough to put extra things in when shopping or traveling.
It’s a MUST! XOXO TINA
I love the magenta. I can imagine that I would love the leopard as well. It’s weird to me to have the option of blue, magenta, and leopard that the celebs would choose the black and brown options.
Do you have any idea what the dimensions would be for the black patent? It looks to be a smaller size than the others which are 16″ wide. I haven’t seen the smaller size or its dimensions anywhere but based on the picture am guessing maybe it’s 13-14″ wide? What do you think?
