YSL Muse

[beaumonde]

one more questions, is ysl still embossing the initials or was that a one time thing?

The SA in the NYC boutique told me rather clippedly, "embossing was only for celebrities."

We have a little shop called things remembered that does embossing. I want to go see if they can do my muse.

finally here's a picture of my musee!
this thing to me is LOVE. ;-) (for now)

WOW! Beautiful bag! Is this the Oversized or the Large size?

Hi ladies... I have a couple questions...
I've read several posts that talk about the bottom of the Muse sagging... does it really sag when filled w/ a minimal/normal amount of stuff? Does anyone have a pic w/ their bag filled (and sagging) on their shoulder?

What is the major difference between the Oversized and large (don't they have the same depth)? Can you wear both sizes over your shoulder?

Embossing your initials... where exactly on the bag would you place your initials?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I personally haven't noticed any sagging in either of my muse bags...

I think yes, the bag sags a bit, and to me, that's part of it's appeal, how it gets slouchier. But if sagging bothers you, you can easily avoid it by putting a piece of cardboard/foamboard at the bottom of the bag. That's what I used to do with my speedy when I cared about it sagging...

^ thanks ladies!

I wasn't too concerned b/c not too many people have made this observation so I didn't think it was too much of a "flaw".

thanks for the cardboard tip... good idea!

Saw the snow leopard today at NM BH...very pretty!

Mine doesn't sag at all on the bottom, but I have tissue paper filling half the bag and my stuff on top so I dont have to reach all the way down intot he bag.

I believe the initials are on the lock, one on each side of the leather tab?

if you're in ny, there will be an event at the boutique for embossing and custom order leathers/skins on 4/6 from 11am....catered.

that is too cool that they do that. do you know what the turnaround time for a customer to receive their customized bag once the order is placed? what's the additional charge on top of the handbag price for the customization?

Wow! I wish I were in NY...

lilskydiver, it's the oversized ;-)

And yeah it doesnt sag THAT much but i guess it feels like alot to me when i place my hand underneath. Haha. yeah but i do like it to get slouchier.. and my stitchings are getting slightly grey but it looks nice worn out i suppose. Kinda like the whole balenciaga distressed idea :-)

More about embossing: I got an invitation in the mail yesterday to have my muse embossed (except I dont have one)
I called today to get more info and the sa said that they will have a french artist there embossing your first and last initial on the sides of the lock
Its really funny because i wanted to get one and have it embossed and now this! The event will be at the 57th street location in new york and i am sure there is no additional charge..

[SoCal]

Yeah, I am in...just a bit hesitant, though (last time I was in NYC was the weekend of the very big snow...spent 10 hours in the airport trying to return home...)
