Before I say anything, I have to comment on how quickly this year has flown by. I cannot believe it is already November! However, the last few months of the year brings some of my favorite events, holidays and activities. Another one of my favorite things is that with all of the Holiday parties and gatherings I feel as though I have an excuse to beef up my evening bag collection and this makes me happy. So, it should be no surprise that I’ve been spending quite a bit of time trying to figure out which bags I should buy; I can always figure out my outfit afterwords.

One of the bags on my evening bag list is the Yves Saint Laurent Small Satin Chain-Strap Bag. As soon as I saw it a few months ago, I knew it would look great with so many outfits. This dark gray satin bag is elegant and exquisite. Then add the chunky gold-tone chain and you have a bit of an edgy feel going as well. The 8″ handle drop isn’t long enough to throw over your shoulder, and in fact it might look a little silly, but that doesn’t change the fact that this bag would be gorgeous carried in your hand. Certainly it is nothing too flashy, but it certainly is a lovely and timeless bag. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1295.

This is so cute!! Love everything but the price!!

NagaJolokia · Nov 3rd, 2009, 03:41 PM

It's a basic box with a simple hardware centerpiece and a chain. Way too plain.

ssc0619 · Nov 3rd, 2009, 05:50 PM

It's all right. Kinda cute. Too bad the price kills it, though.

HandbagAngel · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:55 PM

Very cute! But I don't understand why a satin/non-leather bag would cost thus much?

flashy.stems · Nov 3rd, 2009, 11:12 PM

ooh i LOVE this!!

karmenzsofia · Nov 4th, 2009, 02:07 AM

Not at all impressed with the bag, except by the price.

Liberté · Nov 4th, 2009, 08:27 AM

Wow, it looks great. It would've been even better with an adjustable chain though. Or simply a longer chain.

exotikittenx · Nov 4th, 2009, 09:48 PM

Ooh, I like this one.

calneva · Nov 5th, 2009, 04:37 PM
