Sienna Miller is pictured strolling along the beach in the Yves Saint Laurent Becase Flap Bag in Sky Anthracite, $1995 (get it for less in brown here). The shape of this style strikes me as an odd cross between a shoulder bag and a messenger bag. I like the brass hardware (though it reminds me of Chloe’s Paraty hardware), and the shade of grey is light enough to work all year round. I only wish that the straps were shorter (they are adjustable to an extent), and further apart or that the bag was just a smidgen wider so that it didn’t fall into this awkward in between size category. The way it is now I actually feel like this bag would be best suited for a male fashionista. What do you guys think? Snob or Slob?
