UPDATE: This clutch is actually eel skin, not embossed as it stated on the Bergdorf site.
I have been just hanging on to my love for YSL these last 2 seasons, pretending to “love” bags that were just ok. Now this clutch has totally rejuvenated the lust worthy-ness that is YSL to me. This clutch is freaking amazing – the clever use of the logo while being utterly subtle, the color and the textured treatment of the leather. OK, there is one thing you have to overlook here, this is “eel-embossed” leather and why anyone would emboss leather to look like eel is beyond me. Just ignore that part because the effect is actually cooler than eel, it looks like tree bark or something. Anyway, the look is cool and the shape is extraordinary. And the price, even better!! I am getting mine now so don’t wait until you have to go on a list for this clutch! At Bergdorf Goodman for $575.
Style and price are well in balance. A very neutral clutch; doesn´t raise high/low feelings.
It’s quite nice – I think it would look better if the closure was slightly lower on the bag, though.
I’m also not a great fan of the colour – I’d prefer it if it was either slightly pinker, or slightly more purple.
Any word on the size/dimensions? Bergdorf doesn’t list ’em. Thanks!
I love it, especially the colour and the clever logo! I have asked my boyfriend for this for christmas, fingers crossed he gets it for me! 😀
OMG i totally agree with you! I’m a total YSL loyalist but these past few seasons have been a real struggle trying to find a bag that makes me melt. I saw this clutch in HK yesterday and immediately grabbed one. So sleek and discreet yet does the job in saying it’s ysl.
LOVE!
