Is YSL making a comeback? I mean, it’s maintained a steady place on fashion’s periphery for decades, but lately, it seems to be heading back into the forefront, at least in terms of accessories. It brings its sophisticated, ladylike aesthetic to bear on this great Multy hobo.
I’ll be honest; I’m not a big fan of beige. But there’s something really buttery about this particular beige that’s making me rethink my opinion. The supple leather has a gently weathered texture that is casual and elegant at the same time, and the shiny gold hardware accents both the rich color of the bag and its texture nicely.
I love YSL’s take on the hobo. It’s so much more streamlined and elegant than the usual slouchy boho version. I also really like the addition of the side pocket, which is the perfect size for a cell phone or PDA. The slim strap gives the bag a delicate, balanced look, but is substantial enough to carry the weight of the bag. I’m not really sure about the logo hang tag, but it’s removable, so it’s not really important either way.
At $1,495, the Multy is a pricey addition to any wardrobe, but it’s also part of a classic line that never goes out of style.
