Yves Saint Laurent is part of the French fashion trinity, and his designs are almost always, timeless and perfect. Which is not to say that they are overly traditional or stuffy. YSL manages to be both classic and modern at the same time, and the Muse tote is a great example of this design aesthetic in action.
The shape of the Muse is almost more bowler than tote, which is really interesting and appealing. It has the casual air of a tote, but with the rounded off shape of a bowler and the convenience and safety of a full top zipper. The signature Y-seam detail on the front of the bag reinforces the curvy design of the bag and adds a sporty touch.
The gold hardware looks great against the crackled cream leather, and all the subtle details of this bag give its sportiness a decidedly upscale attitude. The Muse isn’t just attractive, though, it also has a lot of practical details that make it covetable including protective feet on the base and a reinforced lining.
At $1,995, the Muse is a sophisticated bag at a sophisticated price, but it’s definitely worthwhile if you’re in the market for an investment bag that will be stylish for years to come.
