is the rive gauche part of the fall collection?

Well, ysl.com hasn't posted the fall collection yet, and I haven't seen a lookbook personally. There were no Rive Gauches in the spring/summer collection. But I've noticed that NM has gotten a few more in stock in the past week or so, so I suspect they are bringing the bag back for fall. Also, there was a purple fringe Rive Gauche featured in Vogue recently, so that's another sign they are coming back.

I saw that NM has one listed in chocolate while Saks is offering both ivory and chocolate. It will be interesting to see what they come out with for fall. I did order one from NM in black and it should be here the beginning of next week. I have not seen this style IRL so I hope that I like it. I always thought the style looked great on Courtney Cox and Reese Witherspoon.
 
i went to the sf ysl store a few weeks ago, and the sa said the rive gauche will continue for fall in black, chocolate and ivory only...
i believe both sizes will still be available...
 
I was shown the taupe ostrich in Singapore. Its absolutely TDF. As the ostrich skin is stiffer than the regular leather, it holds the shape better i.e less slouch than the regular RG which tends to be really soft and mooshy after long use.
