I just saw the entire YSL Cruise collection and I still can’t decide which one I love the most so here are all of them. Of course, everyone has been going on about the Rive Gauche ostrich since Katie Holmes was spotted with it in Taupe. It also comes in Almond, Sage, Dark Brown, Tan and Olive Green and is $4995. Get the Muse ostrich wallet to match, it is absolutely divine! For your other exotic fix, the Downtown in the nut color python is ridiculously luscious. You better get ready for some serious attention because this bag is not to be overlooked ($2995). If you are looking for a sensible bag but don’t want to settle for a common skin, the Downtown also comes in deer and buffalo. I recommend the deer, it is still as sturdy as you’ll need but not as heavy (and slightly less expensive). White of course is the choice color for this grande bag, $1395 in deer and $1595 in buffalo. All are available at the YSL Boutique in NYC on 57th (Madison store is closed for renovations), 212-988-3821 and ask for Carlo Nieda, he’s a doll!
