YSL has the calf hair Muse in metallic anthracite for Fall. It’s shaven very close so from afar it just looks nice and silky but I have to be honest, touching it creeps me out a bit. The Muse is going to be the bag for Fall so I suppose this would make you stand out and be different. Everything but the hairy part makes me happy about this bag. Pre-order at Bergdorf Goodman $1895.
And if you really really want to stand out, the Fauve comes in leopard print calf hair for going to Las Vegas. To make matters worse, it comes in the oversized version as well. Camel or Ivory, take your pick, they are equally gross. Just make sure you’re wearing a low cut tank top, have big hair, chain smoke and are totally hammered the entire time you carry this bag. And make sure you go see Siegfried and Roy. Get it at Bergdorf Goodman $1595 and 1995 for the oversized.
that’s so gross! they should also wear really low cut jeans with their thongs hanging out so the rose and dagger tattoo on their ass will show.
If the calf hair Muse creeps you out, I wonder what you have to say about these?
Usually agree with you wholeheartedly, but have to say that I can picture the pale version of the animal print bag with a monochromatic YSL Fall 2006 outfit (black oversized top, black velvet pilgrim belt, black leggings, black platform ankle booties) and gold jewelry — and think it could look pretty chic! There is a way to make animal prints appear subtle and not trashy. PS – I detest Las Vegas!
I have to disagree with you. I think the leopard print bag would look fabulous with an understated black outfit.
I fell in love with the Muse bag and thought it elegant and timeless. I purchased the patent leather one in chocolate and found the stitching to be uneven and popping off. The same happened to the second one in moss green. The salesperson offered to “glue” the stitching back on whenever I had a problem. I decided to end my love for the Muse.
It’s true that a handbag completes the whole look – meaning “make it or break it”. In the case of the animal print Muse, it is the outfit that serves as the backdrop while the bag takes center stage. So yes, a simple, elegant, monochromatic ensemble would balance this fantastic looking animal print bag.
I agree with reviewer, Marlowe Katsumata, regarding quality. I just acquired my white large YSL Muse and upon close inspection am disappointed with the stitching. This is especially so underneath one of the four gold rings handles on top of bag. Although I’ve far outgrown my LV bags, I do miss the tight, even, consistent stitching. For this price, top quality handstitching is expected.
