But, I wonder why, these days, YSL almost always seem to think that the only necessary form of decoration is their logo?

Granted, the YSL logo is one of the more attractive ones, IMO and I appreciate that it is reasonably subtly done, in this case, as it is self-coloured; but why don’t they utilise more original embellishments, more often?

Also, why do these designer brand online stores, almost always, cater solely to the US?

To give them their due – at least Gucci sell online to most of Europe, as well and Dior also sell online to the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain; not that selling to the US and some of Europe is even a drop in the international market ocean, of course.

I understand that there may be issues involved in shipping to certain, politically unstable, countries, but I think it would look far less prejudiced (because I DO think it looks a bit prejudiced; especially if they only sell to one, or two, countries) to at least sell online to the countries where they have a bricks and mortar brand boutique they can deliver from.

Boy does she look like her mama.
