hi im quite new to ysl. would want to know what are the classic bags of ysl and is mombasa a part of it? thanks!

i think the mombasa isnt being made anymore but im not sure so someone should chime it.

i think the muse and the downtown are pretty classic bags.

i_am_lv · Oct 31st, 2009, 06:46 AM

thank you! but there still is a mombasa in the ysl online store...its not a classic? how about the easy bag, is it a classic?

vesna · Oct 31st, 2009, 04:44 PM

I think it does belong to classics and there are amazing colors...Tom Ford made it and it one of the most popular classics....I do not know how IN it is, but I LOVE it and will definitelly get one

You can still buy them new - so I guess that makes it a classic

i think the mombasa was most popular in 2006-2007 but would definitely consider it a classic alongside the muse bag.

the shoulder piece is beautiful!!

i_am_lv · Nov 2nd, 2009, 09:27 PM

vesna · Nov 2nd, 2009, 09:38 PM

Fyi, lots more Mombasa pics in the Reference Library in the Tom Ford thread

vesna · Nov 2nd, 2009, 09:45 PM

...they are so gorgeous, and now when I think I am done for now...I developed a Mombasa urge
