When YSL became Saint Laurent, not all Bag Snobs were pleased. Change is hard, and while some people embrace it, others are very nostalgic about what they love. But the good thing about Saint Laurent is that they know both types of people very well. So this spring, we’re being giving a choice – when it comes to fuchsia-tinged clutches, do you want the Belle de Jour ($793) or the Lutetia ($914)? The first appeals to classics lovers, hearkening back to the past with a large YSL logo decorating the front of the patent flap, while the second possesses Hedi Slimane’s distinctly effortless aesthetic, with a golden bar adorning the top that reads “Saint Laurent Paris.” It’s a hard decision, but I’ll tell you, there is a third set of people in this equation – the ones who want both bags! I personally am ready to celebrate YSL’s past and continue welcoming in Hedi’s reign (give him time, people, give him time). What do you think? Available at My Theresa.
