Yves Saint Laurent Capri Flap Hobo

There is something so beautiful about many YSL handbags. I do not love them all, but I do love most. The designs are typically very elegant, clean, and wearable. YSL has been using a process of crocodile-embossing their suede, which leaves us with such a stunning effect. There are a few design houses that currently soften their crocodile skins until it does feel like suede (Bottega Veneta does this beautifully), but it is very expensive. Croc-embossed suede looks much more real than croc-embossed leather and I happen to like it much more. The Yves Saint Laurent Capri Flap Hobo implements this croc-suede in a chic shape that is a perfect everyday bag. I have been very drawn to flap bags lately, they allude this feeling of casual style but can still look incredibly stunning and pull an outfit together beautifully. This YSL bag has a golden chain toggle closure with a wooden ornament. On the inside there is a clever center zip that divides the bag in two along with a zip and cell phone pocket. Dimensions are 17"W X 14"H X 6"D. Big question now is which color is better, almond or sky antracite. Both are great, both will last season to season. Buy through Saks for $1595.

I adore just about anything YSL including this handbag. I prefer the sky anthracite color.

YSL have got it so right with this design. I really love it. The almond really appeals to me and I generally do not go for 'colour' in my bags!! The texture really does make it look 'wearable' as you say. I imagin this bag would be comfortable to carry/wear...
Would love to feel this fabric.... droooolllll
Yep - got my vote

I usually don't like the embossed crocs, but this looks very good. I like it.

Simple but elegant, nothing offensive in the design. I LIKE it!

not feeling it.

The toggle clasp is cool, but I don't think this one is totally outstanding. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this bag.

Great bag to keep forever. Me personally I'd want something with more impact.

I don't like the shape. It looks weird.
