YSL Muse

[QuirkyCool]

Brian, my oversize has the embossing right under the lock, but maybe it's different on the large? I tried to see where it is on quirky's large but couldn't tell.

The embossing on my large is also right under the lock!!! How odd?

Brian - Maybe they are changing the placement of the stamp?...not sure, but if you go to the ysl site for the muse http://www.ysl.com/muse/muse_en.asp ...the stamp is actually on the bottom of the oversize chocolate sample....and on the bottom of the cut pattern pieces as well...I have no idea if the site photo was always like that...

Also on the photo of the embossing that ysl sent me..I noticed that there was no stamp under the lock and thought it was strange...what's up?!

 

[QuirkyCool]

Yeah also,in the picture that someone posted of the initial-embossing there is no YSl embossing under the lock either. It varies...

A Muse of a tale

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.

Thanks for the article!

I'm curious to see the brick red...

 

[QuirkyCool]

I would love the ivory ostrich ...(ostriches are mean and I don't care much for their feelings )

 

[ilovepositano]

^^you are so funny.

 

[shopgirl560]

Hi I think of purchasing a large muse. Can it be carry on shoulder? Do you know length of handles? Thanks

absolutely.

 

[pucci_mama]

I love this one, so chic.



(vogue.co.uk)

Does this look like the oversize or another size? I am sfter a sturdy bag, and I warming up to the Muse and the Novak.. but the oversize will be ridiculously huge on me.

Which size does that look like? And does anyone have the price?

Tia.

too funny

pucci -- I think that is a new style for fall. I thought it was the square muse but the piece of leather over the zipper confuses me since neither the regular nor square muse has that. Brian may know.

What kind of leather is that? It kind of looks like croc but not really

 

[pucci_mama]

I don't know... it might just be painted, which would be good--cheaper.

Does this looks as big as yours GG?

That would be too big on me. hmm.

I reall really like this bag...

 

[Guessgirl96]

Heres a picture to better show the proportion, but htese models are also so tall it's hard to tell. I'd say it's slightly smaller than the oversize though.

ladies, i saw the muse IRL for the first time last week. very beautiful bags!!! i saw a chocolaty bronze one, in the large. i think the oversize is too big for me so it's good i saw the different sizes. going to start keeping an eye out for the fall colors when they come out, in size large. can't wait!

 

[Guessgirl96]

^ Have you tried on the oversize? I wouldn't rule it out until you try it on

 

[ilovepositano]

i saw the ivory ostrich today. it was great. but i'd rather have ostrich in brown or purple.

 

[guccigal07]

the ostrich is so beautiful. I now have on my list a YSL mombasa bag...fell in love again after seeing it.

A hazelnut Muse? That sound absolutely delicious. I just might have to get that one.
