Neiman Marcus will continue to party like it is their birthday, because it is! The slew of NM exclusive handbags is a sure fire way to lure in buyers and let them know that Neiman Marcus is there to make their lives better. A fan of the faux-horn top handle from the beginning, the Yves Saint Laurent Ostrich Mombasa adds another dimension to make the masses drool. The body of this version is designed with supple gray ostrich, which makes my heart skip a few beats. Combining exotic ostrich with the hottest color of the season is a sure fire hit. The gold tone hardware is a luxurious accent along with the seamed body. Looking at this bag makes me think I just got off of an exhilarating African Safari and catches me like a deer in head lights. Via Neiman Marcus for $3695.

I'd LOVE it & buy it if it wasn't ostrich... Apart from the ostrich that bag is HOT!!! LOVE the color & design!

chipoman81 · Sep 11th, 2007, 05:27 PM

That is a hot color. Wish the ostrich didn't cost so much.

mundodabolsa · Sep 11th, 2007, 05:30 PM

I think this is one of the most beautiful bags I've EVER seen.

catabie · Sep 11th, 2007, 05:36 PM

this is such a beautiful bag. after being in the H forum, ostrich doesnt look that scary anymore and the price isn't too bad for an exotic leather.

missisa07 · Sep 11th, 2007, 06:19 PM

Wow, I love it!!!!

theglamorous · Sep 11th, 2007, 06:26 PM

Wow i love it.

Liberté · Sep 11th, 2007, 06:54 PM

Why on earth do they use faux horn when they use real ostrich leather.

Not my taste at all this one, but I can see how it appeals to some..

gacats · Sep 11th, 2007, 09:29 PM

I don't like it but that's because ostrich skin creeps me out for some reason.

Lady Chinadoll · Sep 12th, 2007, 10:47 AM

LOVE it

OMG!!! This is the most beautiful Mombasa ever! I've always loved this model, I've also always loved ostrich so forme, this is the match made in bag-heaven. The color is gorgeous too. I'm soo crazy about grey lately.

Leelee · Sep 12th, 2007, 02:46 PM

Gosh, I wish I could afford this gorgeous bag!

ValleyO · Sep 13th, 2007, 12:16 AM

It's very pretty, though I'd actually prefer it without the horn- seems a bit tired by now.
