It might not be as popular as the Muse, but Yves Saint Laurent’s Y Satchel is yet another classic bag from the famous designer. At first glance, the satchel has a simple silhouette. However, as you look more closely, you’ll see that the Y Satchel is anything but ordinary.
Intricate details on this Yves Saint Laurent exude the kind of quality that you only find on an expensive designer handbag. The tumbled patent leather gives the satchel a texture that is reminiscent of croco-embossing yet a little less predictable. The pebbled leather has an appealing, broken-in feel that looks more refined than a distressed material.
Another detail to admire on this satchel is the subtle, y-shaped seam that runs down the front and back of the bag. I suppose some might see this as obvious branding by Yves Saint Laurent, but the letter-shaped accent that gives the bag its name is far from garish. Instead it adds visual interest to the satchel. Look even closer, and you’ll find more y-shaped details on the handle anchor seams.
Comfortable rolled leather handles and gold-colored hardware finish out the Y Satchel. This medium-sized handbag has a zip top closure and protective metal feet. You can also get this Yves Saint Laurent in turquoise. However, in my opinion, the pebbled texture is more striking on the basic black. Plus, every girl needs that one gorgeous designer bag that goes with everything. For around $1195, the Y Satchel will do just that.
