I've been thinking about getting a muse II, however I have not seen this bag in person. I've adored it in photographs though. My questions are:

Does the medium muse fit over your shoulder with a coat on?

Is Nubuck croc embossed muse II the samething as a suede embossed croc muse II? I saw in the reference thread the first gray/brown croc embossed bags were listed as 'suede' whereas the same/similar looking bag is then listed as nubuck?

Is it a hassle to get in and out of? or is it not a big deal?

Pros/cons of getting the medium vs. large, aside from the obvious of more space?

Are the nubuck muse's heavy? or fairly light?

Lastly, what size is queen rania's muse here?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I have this same material besace and Muse II in almond color, same nubuck, with leather flap. This one is nubuck - croc embossed, but some people call is suede. That is the one either suede or nubuck.

I have large, which is for my height a bit large, but I like it because I carry a lot of stuff. Medium would look more elegant though.

I am 5'6 and have "regular" arms/shoulders, and it is not comfortable on a shoulder.

it is not heavy bag.

In and out - many complain that it is difficult, I do not mind it because it has large back pocket (the size of the back of the bag) easy to get in and out of it. Front is nicely closed, so that no one can get easily into it, but I have to put it down to open easier than holding it. Again, I carry stuff I need in the back pocket, and am happy with nicely closed front.

Also, it looks gorgeous !!!!!! If I had not found such a good deal on almond (also, I do have the same color besace) I would really go for this grey...the material is really amazing.

hope this helps...cheers, Vesna

the queen is wearing a large in the picture. from what i've seen...most celeb wore the large size. i've seen a girl wore a medium...i like the large proportion better..the medium looks more square-ish to me. but still beautiful.
i know i could put my macbook in my muse two if i want. i have the large size.
i put the stuff i need to reach frequently at the back pocket as well (like my metro card + phone). it's quite a pain to open and close but it's worth it to me.
compare to balenciaga...it's heavier.

I am wearing the medium comfortably on my shoulder here, albeit w/o a coat, although I don't think it'll be a problem doing so. Like Vesna said, it is a bit tricky getting in and out of the bag, but the big pocket at the back compensates for that and c'mon, the bag is absolute perfection!

Thanks Vesna!

^^great color....i think i've seen someone here looking for that color.

OP - i can carry the muse 2 on my shoulder while wearing a jacket but i don't think i can do it with down jacket....i think i have skinny arms.

juneping · Nov 4th, 2009, 07:32 AM

nichols87 · Nov 15th, 2009, 02:59 PM

Hi! I love the almond color leather in the Muse II where it is paired with the tan croc embossed suede. I am wondering if YSL makes a Muse II that is entirely that almond color leather?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi I have the one you described:

nichols87 · Nov 16th, 2009, 01:08 AM

Thanks but I was wondering if there is one that is entirely made of the leather that is on the top half of the bag. Do you know?
