MABUHAY!
A Muse of a tale
By Jenni Epperson

The YSL Muse is the kind of bag people will be waxing poetic about for years and ever after
ONCE upon a time, in the land of croissants, berets and generally nasal voices, the fashion gods debated on which bag to bless. This season, it’s the YSL Muse bag.
It’s the type of bag that you’d either love or have your mother buy. It has a classic silhouette (to some, bordering on matronic). But trust London ladies Kate Moss and Amira Casar to give this classic-looking bag a strong street vibe, making the hip “it” tribe line up to snap up the latest Muse.
An elegant leather beauty: subtle Y stitching for those in the know (kind of like saying, “I know who I am, and I need not scream my arrival”
; golden hardware (from engraved lock to shoulder strap rings); dainty metal feet to protect the bottom—you will, after all, be bringing her everywhere.
The stars indeed bring it everywhere, including self-confessed YSL fanatic Lindsay Lohan (she said she has five closets of YSL), Wisteria Lane resident Nicolette Sheridan, and ageless Demi Moore. Launched with the 2006 Cruise Collection, it is the tote of tinseltown.
For its second season, the Muse Bag is expanding its palette, adding olive and brick-red versions to the original black, chocolate and ivory leather. Metal hardware in anthracite, light bronze, silver, light gold and frosted brown hues will now adorn this new, iconic Yves Saint Laurent accessory.
YSL designer Stefano Pilati has now made the handbag even more luxurious, with ostrich skin in shades of tobacco, hazelnut and ivory and crocodile leather in black, grey and vanilla.
A more casual canvas version in beige, chocolate, khaki and sand is available for the summer—a perfect addition to your already sizzling summer style. Worn by the world’s most beautiful women, the Muse Bag has started a new “city chic” trend. It’s a good mix of “in the now” and “it will outlive us all.”
Available in three sizes (medium, large and oversized) at the YSL Boutique in Greenbelt 4, the Muse can be hand-held, worn over the shoulder or carried under a beautifully curved elbow on your way to your favorite Ladies-Who-Lunch destination.
Take your cool club level a notch higher. This season, Stefano Pilati has added a fourth dimension: The Muse bag now comes in a smaller version, practical and trendy during the day, and bombastic in the evening.
It’s all the rage, and now, with all the new versions available, you can be certain that the chic chicks will be clamoring for one (or four or 12—brace yourself for a long waiting list).
To avoid reaching for the wrong one on your way home from the club, tastefully emboss your Muse with your own inspired initials.
