Yves Saint Laurent gives a modern twist to this season’s popular bow accents with the Grand Sac Y Bow bag.
Rather than using soft satin ribbons, Yves Saint Laurent creates its bow from leather. That gives the bow real structure, so it doesn’t appear as frothy as these often can. It’s almost an abstract interpretation of a bow, and this makes the bowler appear like a modern work of art. I can imagine it appealing to the type of girls who’d usually steer clear of feminine handbags.
Yves Saint Laurent makes the contemporary bow a real feature by keeping the rest of the design simple. The signature Y is rendered in white for subtle contrast with the textured leather. The dome style is no fashion innovator, but the classic shape is just what’s needed.
The generous interior could use a few more pockets, but I do love the little case attached. With a zipper to keep things safe, I imagine it’d be great for stashing cosmetics or loose change.
This bag is a lot bigger than it looks, so I wish the handles were a little longer. Petite girls may be able to sling it over their shoulder, but I imagine many women won’t be so lucky. If I were restricted to hand-held carrying all day, I’m sure my love for the Grand Sac Y Bow might fade. While I’m griping I could also bemoan the impractical white leather which will show stains in no time, or the price tag which happily nudges $2000.
But high-end fashion isn’t about practicality, is it? While there are things I might have changed, none of these concerns make me want this YSL beauty any less!
