Finally got a large muse in black with gold hardware and I LOVE IT!!!
Even if it's not the "it" bag right now, I think it's simply a classic that will never go out of style. Every time I see someone carrying one, I think it looks so classy. Can't go wrong with a Muse!

I am surprised I have taken a fancy to this bag, when the hype is over. A little late to the bandwagon I admit.

For those who own a Muse, are you still in love with it? Love to hear from you what you think of this bag now that we are a little down the road.

What type of leather is the bag? I am not too fond of the buffalo leather.
Would you know if it comes in any other type of leather?

I am late to the bandwagon too! I just got my first Muse a few months ago and I love it. I haven't worn it yet since it was not really a Summer bag in my opinion but I love staring at it!! I can't wait to put it to use this fall & winter. It is a black Muse..btw.

Congrats on your White Muse!

All the newer Muse bags (I think '08 & on) are made of Calf. That is what I was told by several YSL reps. They still call it "Buffalo" because they treat the leather to look like buffalo like the original Muse bags.

If her bag was from 06 it is most likely the original Buffalo leather. If you do not like that type of leather you should check out the more recent versions

Thanks so much little rock!

Now I am at peace! I will definitely buy one! I plan on getting a brand new one so it should be in calf. I like the calfskin better since it's not as textured as the buffalo.

THANKS again!

I still adore and love my chocolate and black Oversize Muses. They are classics in my book and I think in alot of others too, because YSL keeps bring the Muses back every year in different colors.

I adore my Muse. I will have had it for three years this Christmas. The month I got the bag, I took it to a job interview: I got the job and love it. Now I carry the bag almost daily to work and think of it often as a good luck charm

Still love my brown Muse even though it's currently sitting in my closet. It's such a classic bag I can use for years.

Think it's time to whip it out for the Fall season.

I still LOVE my bronze Muse (large) (pebbled leather (?)) and probably wear this treasure as often as any other in my closet! This bag is just so functional and easy to wear!

dstb · Oct 18th, 2009, 10:54 PM

I have two of the Muse II bags and a Tribute that I love to look at- but I hardly ever wear them!

SOLIDGOLD2 · Oct 18th, 2009, 11:00 PM

nope, I sold mine a long time ago

Juda · Oct 20th, 2009, 03:16 PM

I tried to hold on to them as much I could but I eventually sold my OS muses

I agree! I need to get my black Muse out for winter!

I have LOTS of bags (too many by my hubby standards). However, my 4 go-to bags are my Hermes birkin, Kelly, Chanel reissue and the YSL MUSE!!! I have loved it from first sight!
