Attention fashionistas; there’s a new It bag in town. It’s a been a while since any handbag has sported the covetable title, but with a host of trend-setting celebrities now carrying the Yves Saint Laurent Chyc Cabas I think it’s definitely earned its stripes.
The sophisticated tote is a favorite of actresses Sienna Miller, Leighton Meester, and Salma Hayek, Australian music royalty Kylie Minogue, French first lady Carla Bruni. No doubt they love its combination of style and substance. Its sheepskin leather is lovely, and its magnetic Y closure may be one of the most fashionable ways I’ve seen to stamp your brand. It sure beats those ugly signature prints and tacky name plates, doesn’t it? Plus it’s roomy enough to hold everything a star could need on a day out and it’s got pockets inside and out to make organization a breeze.
The range of colors is also another advantage for a bag with It status, as you needn’t look like everyone else when you’re carrying it. There’s black, gray-brown, and olive-tinged sand for the classic beauties, and magenta, leopard print, and bright blue for more daring fashionistas.
The Chyc Cabas retails for $1995 from Yves Saint Laurent stores.
