This caught my eye (in RED) on YSL.com.

http://www.ysl.com/us/en/onlineBouti...ain%20Bag.aspx

The size is listed as 5”H x 6”W x 2”D. Wondering if anybody has seen it IRL and whether it will fit the cocktail party essentials? (For me: BlackBerry, keys, lipstick, compact)

Opinions? Thoughts?

I like the price and the long chain; I'm not good at parties holding a clutch in one hand and a drink in the other...and then hitting the buffet table, lol. Not enough hands for that.

I've seen it at NM and it's a cute little bag. Since it's 2" deep, you would have enough room for the essentials you listed. I'm biased, though, because it's like a mini version of my patent Catwalk (with a chain and the toggle on the front, of course) which I love!

Normally, I don't like the croc embossed patent in red because I think it's just too much with the glossy patent, embossed pattern and bright red color, but this bag is so tiny that I think you can get away with it. The black is still my favorite, but if I saw the red at a party, I know I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off of it.

^Thanks shazam. My thinking exactly on the bright red patent: I'd probably only go for it in a smaller bag like this. Although if YSL did a Catwalk in this red--or the deeper red on the upcoming Majorelle--I would def be tempted to get that!

Just found this pic on Saks.com of the interior. It looks relatively roomy for an evening bag.

I have not seen it irl but it looks quite cute and the long strap would defintely be practical......

Oh, thanks for the ref to the pic Victoire. I likey!

I like how you have the option to double up the chain or let it all the way down for two different lengths.

I have been eyeing this bag, in red, on YSL's site for a few days now. I'm seriously considering it.

It would make a beautiful evening accessory !!

I've seen it -- good size for evening -- not flat, so you can fit a good amount in it without it looking stuffed.

Hello,

Here are some more pics...I hope this helps! I think it's a very cute and classic bag.

best wishes, BeautifulBasics

So cosmo, what did you decide??? It is a cute little bag:)

I have such a hard time getting excited about evening bags. I use them so seldom it seems a waste. Until I get dressed and find I DON"T have one that goes with the outfit. I love bags, but evening bags to me are kind of like a necessary evil. I don't really enjoy them...how sad...

I def want it. I'm moving it near the top of my LONG LONG wishlist.

I don't have many "evening bags" either and I realized the other day that I need some more in my wardrobe. I like this YSL because its not so dressy that I also can't wear it with more-casual outfits or for running around shopping.
