I still love the Yves Saint Laurent Muse II. Do you?

I have a little confession to make: I was never all that big of a fan of the Yves Saint Laurent Muse. Yes, it was a major It Bag back in the mid-2000s and still endures as a favorite today, but it just never really tickled my fancy in the same way that other popular bags from that era did. The Yves Saint Laurent Muse II, however? I’ve always loved it unconditionally, and seeing this lovely red version for spring confirms that those feelings show no signs of abating.

I’m not sure what makes me love this bag so much. The propensity for the design to come in multicolor versions? Its vaguely nautical lines? The lovely way it sags when carried on the arm? I don’t know, but I’m not so concerned with the knowing as I am with the having.

I can barely resist the utter cheerfulness of this pinky-red leather juxtaposed with white, which means that this is another bag that’s make me wish for spring and flowers and pretty dresses. It’s pretty cruel that all of these bags are coming out now, just when winter’s cold streak is really picking up, but we all know that fashion is inherently structured to make us want what we can’t have in as many ways as possible. Come spring, though, this little darling just might be mine. Buy through Matches for $1326.

Oh, what a darling! But the interior is white canvas – can’t imagine it staying white for more than a couple of weeks. But that’s what makes it so delicious, isn’t it?

The Muse II is my favorite YSL bag! Would love to own one.

It is very summery, but I think it would be an interesting challenge to make this stylish bag good for winter too!

I think it’s the first YSL bag that I’ve ever wanted! Great design and pretty colour.

haya

pretty color , but red it is fashion color not always wearing red bags.

Nola

I think it’s boring and stuffy. To each her own.

I completely lvoe this bag. From YSL is obviously to see aamzing bags but it’s truly wonderful to see that also this brand is able to renovate itself and to purpose every time something new!!

I still love and use my Muse II quite frequently. I absolutely love the red iteration pictured above, it is far more interesting than my black one!

Sunshinyday

Its gorgeous but it lost me as soon as I realised the edging is white. The part of the bag most exposed to wear is white????? Just wouldn’t work for me and my neat freak ways.

Maggie

Pretty! Love the color! (ipad)

Smith

this bag reminds me of something i’ve already seen…hmmmm…love the color though!!! (ipad)

Deb

This bag looks better than it is functional. Reaching into the bag with the bag unlocked risks the goodies in the bag spilling out. That’s a big no-no, no? (ipad)

Lola

I wish it had a second strap, but I can’t deny that it looks amazing. I do love a good “saggy” leather bag, plus the color’s amazing! (ipad)

Kellisa

Ohhh how I would love a YSL Muse II. Amazing, amazing bag.

I love the muse 2! My favorite is the multi-colored one that was made more popular by Miroslava duma. I love the look but find the bag too impractical for me to own. I need a bag that’s easier to get in and out of. (iPad)

Inside a jewellery crafting class, you will have a teacher which could teach you getting such things as bead knotting and closing crimps done right. Out of your teacher, you may also learn many different associated with Thomas and Sabo, along with some tips in picking out your own personal designs and in all probability in setting up your own jewellery shop. One more apparent benifit of attending a category is that you arrive at share your learning experience with all the other people who are taking the class along with you. If you are a social particular person,Tom Sabo this chance for interaction with your peers can be quite a useful thing. You may also network with these once you establish Thomas Sabo Jewellery creating company in the foreseeable future.
