A big, black screen has never looked so good. While it may be a buzzkill when it comes to watching your favorite TV show, framing negative-space is brilliant on a tote.
Yves Saint Laurent’s bold off-white frame on its bold black bag has a great optical quality. It’s also an upgraded play on color-blocking – it’s not quite what you’d expect but better, simple, current, and fabulous. Like a clean matted frame cut to showcase your most beloved piece of modern art, the lightly textured Walky tote is sharp, graphic, and stimulating to the eye.
Every year, the time comes to update your giant tote. They get worn like nothing else in the bag wardrobe, and even if it’s holding up, the same old look starts wearing on your creative energy. This is the lively update that won’t jolt you out of your senses.
I don’t have to tell you how to use this for your everyday but finding the tote that suits your needs and taste equally is a very personal decision. This one is the girl who demands it all: fun and fundamentals. The Walky also talks the talk; it’s pretty well-priced for something you’ll count on to hold your entire life. On Net-a-Porter for $1,195.
Pair with: Proenza Schouler gets the graphic edge. Imbue a little retro flair with a bright mustard blazer. The Double-Face Sponge jacket is an unusual staple, thanks to raised seams, angled darts, and a low-slung double-breasted look. On Ssense for $1,750.
Have you seen this bag IRL? Not sure if this bag has that extra something that makes it special or not. YSL is certainly one of the designers that I would love to add to my collection, but every season another designer ends up in my closet. I was curious about this bag and the Chyc bag…
Not sure about IRL, but this bag is gorgeous in the photo!
