Yves Saint Laurent Vanity Bowler

Does this look like Princess Leia’s head, or is it just me? Those pockets on the sides are great for phones and possibly a blaster but the proportions are all wrong. I think also because the placement of the pockets are lower than the top of the bag so it looks more like cinnamon rolled hair. And it’s not even that I totally hate the bag, it is a great functioning bag and I’m sure when it slouches while being used, Princess Leia will disappear and you will have a cute YSL bag without fearing ridicule from children. Pre-order at Neiman Marcus for $1795.

  1. I quite like it. It is a rather classic shape, the color is very neutral and the leather seems to be good quality. Outside pockets are usually quite practical (although I would not put anything valuable there). “Star Wars” was so long ago, it does not make me think about Leia at all….

  2. I just have to comment on this bag, because it is a YSL ( my favorite brand ). This time it is a totally no-no for me. I just could not picture myself toting something like this around. I´ll pass.

  3. i, too, am a huge ysl fan. and all i can say to this is, “no, thank you”. what’s going on here. lot’s weird things have been happening lately…with boring roady hobo and now this…the only thing they’ve gotten right lately are the shoes….good lord.
