Default New Large Muse II in Anthracite!!!
The newest addition to my collection. I got her from BlueFly with an extra 10% off. I love the look of the bag and how light and easy to carry she is. I am still not sure about the opening and closing. So what do you owners of the muse II think - will I get used to the way the bag opens and closes? The darker picture shows the color the best. The bag is a dark gray lizard embossed suede.

Congrats, the suede Muse Two looks GREAT in this color! Very chic. (You have inspired me to bring my suede Muse Two out of the closet today and wear it for the first time this fall!)

On the closure, its never going to be super-easy to get in and out of, like an open-top hobo or something, but you do get used to it. Here's a tip I posted in another thread about that issue: Muse Two FAQs: closure issues, lining, maintenance, etc.

Don't forget to post your pics in our Reference Library: post pics of YSL MUSE TWO bags here

Your Muse Two is beautiful - congrats!

Personally, when I owned the same bag, I could never get used to the opening and closing. The fact that I couldn't deal with the closure without setting it down first was a big problem, but that's just me.

Congrats she's a beauty! I have a muse II and you do get use to opening and closing the flap.

Thanks so much kalilagirl, Alana1981, ryry, Cosmopolitan, jcoop, SuLi, ssc0619, chinsumo, blackonmaroon, shimin_123 and L4F4. I am still not so sure about the opening/closing part but I really do love the color and shape of the bag. I will keep you all posted.

Love the color! I tried on a muse II at woodbury back in May and couldn't deal with the closure, but I know many here have this style and love it, so you definitely might be able to get used to it! In either case, it's gorgeous!

It's too bad that I love the color so much. If that were not the case I would have already boxed her up and sent her on her way. I am going to give myself until Monday to decide whether or not to keep her.
