There are no prizes for guessing where this Yves Saint Laurent baguette got its name. An oversized bow and sunny color helps separate this sweet evening bag.
You’ll need to be a real bow fan to appreciate this baguette, but if you are you should warm to this cheerful baguette. The golden color might also polarize opinion, but I appreciate its difference. In a sea of black and navy purses, it should really stand out. While admittedly those neutrals work with any outfit, I think this lighter hue could give the right ensemble a gorgeous pop.
The baguette makes a refreshing change from a clutch. It’s a little larger than most of those hand-held purses tend to be, so we can squeeze in a few of those items we ordinarily leave behind. Its voluminous shape also won’t show lumps and bumps when it’s overstuffed. And with a satin strap rather than the typical chain, a little extra weight won’t compromise comfort.
At $495 it’s pretty expensive for an evening bag, but it’s also not unreasonable for an accessory from the esteemed Yves Saint Laurent fashion house.
