^That's a Fauve and they have it in Medium and Large on ysl.com in the natural leopard. Congrats on the Palma, I'm looking forward to the pics!

OK quick pix (excuse quality i did it fast)

of raspail and palma that arrived.....both were good sale 800 plus
BlueFly had the raspail and houston the palma (about half price!)

now that is see both i think they are very similar so should return one ...
the palma is much more structured and gorgeous quality! inside is scrumptous with middle compartment etc..
the raspail though is also very lovely it is taller and more of a functional tote less like a handbag
VERY TOUGH decision
feel like keeping both for awhile and later sell one on eBay.....
have to think think

here are quick pix
RASPAIL LARGE: DOES HAVE FEET AND NO MIDDLE COMPARTMENT BUT
HAS SIDE ZIP POCKET AND CELL POCKET AND SNAP CLOSE




HERE IS PALMA VERY STURDY AND STRUCTURED AND
BEAUTIFULLY SMOOCHY LINING AND I HELD IT UP TO SHOW BOTTOM WITH FEET

\



BOTH ARE GREAT.....

wish i had the medium DARK color palma or DARK raspail so that it would be two different bags

will take my time to decide......meantime i am hitting eBay with coach gucci and old marc j so i can buy more animals! lol and of course my deerskin downtown! lolol
thanks for the help all!
fun fun!

I usually like slouchy bags, but in this case I definitely prefer the Palma, it has more style to it while the Raspail is more of a common tote. Both are lovely, though, congrats!

[chinsumo]

I agree with Shazam. Palma all the way!

Uggh, all of your recent purchases are making my YSL lust boil over.

persian! i was counting on youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu to make the choice! you are the other animal print nut

oh the clutch came it is gorgeous just like pix above IT IS A REAL KEEPER!

NOW IF ONLY i could find the PALMA MEDIUM in DARK ON SALE someplace????? it is 1200 at BlueFly ....and i got the LARGE in the light color for 850!!! so annoying
nobody would understand thank god i can come here and vent about this....lol

[persian11]

That is annoying! BlueFly seems to really take a long time to further reduce items. I am looking at a large leopard raspail with white trim on eBay. Does it fit over the shoulder? Also do you happen to know how it compares in size to a medium downtown?

GORGEOUS shoes!

[brian]

i do prefer the "dark" natural orangey jaguar print more though.
