YSL Muse

[izzydore]

Thats too bad! I'm having a hard time finding what clothes/shoes to wear with the brown because it seems black compared to my brown stuff, and if i wear it with black clothes/shoes it's too dark to be of any contrast. Haha do you get what I mean?
Anyways, what shoes/belts/clothes do you guys suggest I wear it with?

I am a MUSE newbie, can anyone please tell me if there is a white color AND an ivory color for the bag? Is one from an older season? Thanks everyone!

^hello
i pass by the YSL shop almost every day and they always tend to have some white or off white patent muse

 

[msvirus]

sorry I was not clear earlier. i am interested in the leather muse (not patent leather), is there a white AND an ivory leather muse bag?? or are they the same thing??

 

[Meg]

they are the same thing. The white color is called 'ivory'

 

[msvirus]

Thanks Meg. It must be obvious that I am a Muse newbie! I want to buy one tomorrow!!!!!!!

they are the same thing. The white color is called 'ivory'

 

[Meg]

haha good luck. I love mine. But it needs some tlc. Fix some of the stitching.

 

[msvirus]

which color and size do you have? do you know if the bags have changed over the seasons?? i guess the leather might be a little now than 2 years ago when the bags first came out. i am so excited!

I have the XL black. i don't know if they've changed. maybe GG or leyla, someone who has them from various seasons knows......from what i've seen it hasn't

i think the leather has improved. the one i used to own was from the initial season and it wasn't that great honestly...but a muse i saw about 2 months ago had really nice leather.

I have one from the first season but I'm not sure how the leather is now. Guess I'll find out in july when my bright purple special order comes in.

Handbag Lover, I LOVE your muse in post #2821 ! Which size is this?? And how do you like it? I am a Muse newbie and I'm thinking about buying the leather medium size muse in the white color. I was told that the white color is the same as the ivory color. Have you found it hard to keep the bag clean since it's white??? THANK YOU!!!!!!

msvirus - i saw the medium ivory/white muse last month and made myself choose between that or the barneys purple one. i decided to keep the purple so the white/ivory is the next on my list! hopefully there are some left by the time i can get that. they seem to disappear fast!

gg - i can't wait for you to get your special order bag! how come you have to wait until july??

speaking of leather quality: should i be bothered that the muse leather have these veins/wrinkles in them? are they natural to the buffalo leather?

 

[brian]

^ the wrinkles are normal. i actually like that a lot!

 

[Guessgirl96]

shopping, since it's a special order they make it especially for you and your prabably put low on the priority list, which is why it takes so long

 

[shopping247]

brian - thanks for letting me know. so i should view the wrinkles as flaws!

gg - did you special order this from the YSL boutique? if so, did you have to pay additional $ on top of the MSRP? anyway, the wait will be well worth it! i am really in love with that shade of purple.

 

[Guessgirl96]

I actually did it through a freind that is well connected, but it didnt cost anything extra. I agree its well worth the wait, the color is like nothing I've ever seen. I've been itching for a new muse too so this is perfect, and it gives me more time to enjoy the bags I have right now. stam, balenciaga and chloe bay in a 3 month period is too many at once as it is!

 

[msvirus]

^shopping247,did you the oversized or the large? I really love this bag. I like how they look after they have been worn and are more slouchy than brand new.

 

[shopping247]

gg - it's definitely worth the work and it's great that you don't have to pay extra to do the special order!

msvirus - i decided to keep the medium (vs the large).

^im really interested in the purple now! Do you know if it's the same purple from SS07 as used in the Downtown and Tributes?
