Vlad got me into the hit television show CSI. We watch the Vegas version, NYC version, and at some times attempt to take in the Miami version (just for Horatio’s slow sunglasses removal technique). No matter how outrageous the CSI lab techniques seem, I am always intrigued. And one of the most integral parts of solving a crime is finding finger prints.
I wonder if the folks at Yves Saint Laurent are CSI fanatics as well? The Yves Saint Laurent Fingerprint Flap Bag is a clever and fun take on science and handbags.
The body of the bag is canvas with large black finger prints all over. Feel like this idea is out of place? It is not. In fact, Stefano Pilati sent a dress in this very same print down the Paris runway as well. The shoulder strap is adjustable and the hardware is golden.
At first I planned to just cover this bag as a novelty item, but it is growing on me. There is something fun and playful about the design yet it is still wearable. Pre-order via Neiman Marcus for $1,650.
It’s interesting. (ipad)
Cute! (ipad)
I think that this is very cute, but nearly $2000 for a canvas bag is pretty ridiculous. (ipad)
i like it a lot.
i wonder whose fingerprints they are 😉
(ipad)
LOVE CSI, i like Miami over Las Vegas and NY haha
Anyways, the bag looks okay to me, I can’t really tell its fingerprint unless you mention it haha
forgot the big word (ipad) hahaha (ipad)
Let’s go a step further and wonder if a bag would come out with the owner’s fingerprints printed on. That would cost a fortune I presume. (ipad)
Haven’t seen the show CSI yet. Interesting to see a bag inspired by a show! (ipad)
Love it! Artistic and fun. Practical style, too. The price is a bit too high for mass market, but as a novelty bag, it will find its buyer. (ipad)
I think it works because it is a smaller bag. Like CSI New York. Used to watch the Miami one but Horatio’s downward sideways look was too distracting so we switched over to New York! (ipad).
I really like it. (ipad)
I liked CSI (until the sixth season). Actually, I loved it. I devoured every episode again and again, I looked forward to every new episode, I visited online forums about it…but I do not like it enough to pay that much (ever! even if I could comfortably afford it! If I were swimming in money!) for a canvas bag.
Absolutely love it! Quirky & fun. But a bit too pricey.
Adorable (ipad)
i thought this was a wallet before clicking into this.. the wallet would’ve been better! do they have a wallet for this?(ipad)
I wouldn’t have thought they’re fingerprints at first glance (a faded leopard or some other animal print is more like it) until you mentioned it. For me, it’s a novelty bag than a “must have” bag. (iPad)
hmmm – unique i guess! i agree with XXAL that it would make a cooler wallet. (ipad)
Eh…not really liking the fingerprints. It’s fun, but not very nice…

Meh, (ipad)
i really like it! (ipad)
yuck! (ipad)
It is fun and oddly stylish ! (ipad)
Frankly I didn’t realize those are fingerprints till you pointed it out. It’s quite nice but think the colours are a bit on the mature side. (ipad)
It doesn’t look like fingerprint, it’s more like a pattern of some sort. (ipad)
Its a fun idea but I don’t love any show enough to buy a designer bag based around the craze. (ipad)
well i think even if i did like csi, i wouldn’t buy a bag with fingerprints on it… who’s are they anyway? haha (ipad)
I sort of love this bag (and am a CSI addict) – go YSL! (ipad)
Haha i orignally thought the black finger prints were hearts (ipad)
I think I would’ve liked hearts over fingerprints (ipad)
cool concept nonetheless 😉
Playful concept and great execution. If the print where on any larger a bag, I think it’d be too much. But this is perfect. (ipad)
cool concept nonetheless (ipad)
Watched CSI toight. Didn’t see this bag. LOL. (ipad)
The bag is OK. Wish I could get one of those fingerprint dresses!! LOL(ipad)
interesting concept but not for me (ipad)
it’s cute! love the Y logo (ipad)
kind of cute… but not sure if i’d wear it for long (ipad)
Different (ipad)
It is fun! (ipad)
it’s different (ipad)
i like the concept and want to like the bag … but can’t … not liking the hardware either (ipad)
I lvoe CSI and I appreciate this idea but by an aestethic point of view this bag is not so nice!!

This is really cool – love it, it works! (ipad)
interesting bag (ipad)
It is so creative…. (ipad)
When I first saw it, I thought it was lace. (ipad)
I watch all of the CSIs. As a matter of fact, I think that I watch all crime shows.
It’s cute. Maybe they will come out with a bag that’s printed with the DNA strands.
However, I don’t care who the designer is, I find it offensive to ask that much money for a canvas handbag.
I forgot again! (iPad)
what?
finger prints?
sorry but from a far i thought it was just some random figures..
the prints aren’t that obvious and well, looks kinda messy actually..
i think i’ll pass, even if it’s worth 100 bucks! (ipad)
I might buy a canvas bag with fingerprints on it for fun, but would I ever carry one seriously? NO way! It’s a cute concept, but it isn’t very realistic. Also, that is a ridiculous price for canvas. (ipad)
Love the finger print idea (ipad)
An interesting print–a departure from the newsprint or designer initials. (ipad)
I think it is interesting, but I would never pay that much for what it is. (ipad)
Pass (ipad).
This is kinda growing on me (ipad)
From far away, it’s kinda cute (ipad)
The CSI bag! (ipad)
Strange. (ipad)
who doesn’t love CSI???????????????????? (ipad)
I like the fingerprint print (ipad)
Very interesting design and concept (ipad)
Don’t think I would spend any $$ on that bag. (ipad)
Love it. This bag is creative and chic ! (ipad)
Not too fond of it, but creative nonetheless. (ipad)
Really cute and clever! It has a fun graphic element to it. You don’t necessarily notice it is fingerprints right away. (ipad)
For a moment, I thought it was stamped hearts. (ipad)
Pass! (ipad)
love ysl (ipad)
love csi (ipad)
put them together (ipad)
and you get a great bag (ipad)
🙂 (ipad)
interesting (ipad)
i would rock it (ipad)
not a fan. (ipad)
hilarious (ipad)
haha i like it! (ipad)
I’m not really a big fan of this bag. (ipad)
I hate it when they want your first born for a canvas bag (ipad)
I wonder if there are other prints (ipad)
I would get it for 195 (ipad)
it makes me think of a song from my childhood- “Where is Thumbkin?, where is Thumbkin? Here I am! Here I am!” lol (ipad)
Not for me. (ipad)
I think the proportions are awkward. The bag looks too small for the strap but maybe it’s just me. The print though is cute! (ipad)
reminds me of a newspaper haha (ipad)
very creative not sure if its worth it for the price i rather invest in a muse

Love this bag really unusual (ipad)
It’s interesting and very innovative, but way too expensive. (iPad)
Please don’t let my wife see this. She is a CSI fanatic (preferred Grissom though, but still watches) and we really cannot afford this (ipad) .
I don’t like it (ipad)
I’m not a fan of this bag, mainly because the colours are a little dull for my liking, making the the fingerprint-print look dirty. Also, the gold hardware doesn’t match the colours – I prefer it when the hardware is set off against solid colours, like a simple black patent. (ipad)
Interesting! (ipad)
Definitelt fun and unexpected! (ipad)
This is ACE and love that the initial is a Y as thats mine too so destiny I reckon
This is ACE and love that the initial is a Y as thats mine too. Destiny I reckion (ipad)
It’s alright…I suppose. (ipad)
I think it’s blah, and I wouldn’t spend that much on it. (ipad)
Cute bag (iPad)
I think it’s kinda cool but…..
ipad
another hit (ipad)
Oh, no…. just… no. (iPad)
I really like this one. It is just so different! It works. (iPad)
too expensive for a design like this IMO (ipad)
i want to get it…(ipad)
Please. A “fun” print like that, for “that” price? No thanks. (ipad)
neat idea! (ipad)
hmm dont really like it (ipad)
Cute concept! (ipad)
Okay, that is really cute. But man, that’s pricey canvas. (ipad)
Cute but not for me especially for that price! (ipad)
Naaah!!! (iPad)
