YSL Tribute Flat Tote

YSL Tribute Flat Tote

My love of Yves Saint Laurent has only been growing recently. Their handbag collection was not known years ago for appealing to a younger twenty-something crowd, but lately, YSL handbags have been riding the wave. While the YSL Tribute Flat Tote is made to look ancient with the crackled gold finish, the finished product has an old world feel with a new world appeal. The way this bag is finished is quite intriguing, as the patent leather is styled with a fresh finished of crackled gold. The gold is not super blingy, more of a subdued brushed gold. The doubles shoulder straps have an 8" drop. This bag is just as flat as they say it is, with merely 1"D, but somehow I still love it. It is a fresh look, a clean look, and a highly sought after bag. The inside does have a zip pocket along with silk satin lining. Overall dimensions are 16½"W X 17¾"H X 1"D. Pre-order through Saks for $1295.

I'm not keen on this one. The handles look out of proportion with the rest of the bag.

mmm... I'd pay $150 for it... on a second thought... nah...

So beautiful! YSL knows how to make it classy!

Love the crackly look but the shape is not for me.

That color is amazing!

I kind of like the colour scheme with the cracles, but to me it's not outstanding for the shape and the crackeld leather makes it look a little cheap.

At least in the picture. All in all I do not like this.

ITA. The shape is just blah for me.

No thanks, the shape probably doesn't work on shorter people.

I really like the finish on it.

Love YsL, the color seems very interesting but I need to see it irl first.

ValleyO · May 21st, 2008, 12:22 AM

The texture is definitely interesting but I can't decide whether or not I like it.
