What about the 3 keys? What's up with that? My Muse from the YSL boutique had one key. I think the fakes have 3 keys ???

Sorry, double post.

Right, this one has three keys AND the size is weird.
Anyone? Anything that looks obviously off on this one?

Is there a number I could call with these dimensions and find out if one of these was indeed made??

Some authentic ones have one key and some have 3 keys. It depends upon the lock opening. The single key is a more old fashioned key. The number of keys is not an indicator of authenticity.

Thanks susan!
I really trust this seller, but the sizing TOTALLY has thrown me for a loop.
The seller told me not to worry, that when the bag arrived I'd be fine. I think she's right.

^ don't do it. I wouldn't buy anything from someone with a new account, esp. one from Fiji.

Kallie Girl · Oct 18th, 2006, 09:26 PM

The oversize Muse is $1295 retail. So, I would ask her how she happens to have one that she can sell for less than retail.

Lissis · Oct 19th, 2006, 10:24 PM

Hmmm, weird.

Anyway ( a little off-topic, sorry) is white and ivory the same color ? Confused.

Please help me out with this black Muse. Is it authentic? Is it large or X-large?
Thanks!

susan-eric · Oct 20th, 2006, 01:12 PM

Christiflora--The black one is large. I'm not sure about the brown one, but why is there a hangtag on a used brown Muse anyway? There should not even be a handtag on a NEW Muse. Neither has enough photos to make me completely confident, but the black one might be okay, if you could get more photos, esp. of the tag inside (the back side of it) and the embossed signature on the outside of the bag.

Christiflora · Oct 20th, 2006, 01:23 PM

Thanks, susan-eric. I'll request photos immediately.

I am not sure if I can ask this question here. I am looking for a chocolate brown (black second choice), preowned YSL Muse in excellent or near-new condition from a trusted seller. Where can I find one besides eBay?

Christiflora · Oct 20th, 2006, 04:50 PM

Dear susan-eric,
I got the new photos. The one with the embossed signature is not clear enough to show anything. See if you can figure out with the rest of the photos.

I have downloaded the photo files in my computer, but I do not know how to paste it here.

You need to use a service. Try photobucket.com
