YSL Croc-embossed Degrade Muse

YSL Muse is one of the few iconic bags created in my life time. Since its creation in 2005, I have witnessed this bag went from 'It' bag to THE bag of the house of YSL and like all the other classics, it never goes out of style. Hail the folks in YSL and Creative Director, Stefano Pilati for creating this ageless beauty! For Resort 2009, YSL reinvented the Muse in the color and look of the season, minus the steep price. The bag is made of croc-embossed leather which brings down the price significantly while still keeping the look in current trend that is exotic skins. I also love the blue/ gray color which is about the color of Resort 2009 and Spring 2009 yet still has all the attributes of being a classic. If you happen to be looking for a bag to last for the next two seasons and potentially to keep forever under USD2,000. Look no further as it will be tough to top this one. Pre-order through Neiman Marcus for USD1,995
