The Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Tote has been available for a while now, and many a bag reviewer has penned their thoughts about it. However, the popularity of the handbag hasn’t seemed to wane one bit. Celebrity fans of the bag include Cameron Diaz, Ashlee Simpson, and Halle Berry. Though these celebs have been spotted with it for quite some time, the Tribute remains in high demand in the designer handbag world.
Once you get a good look at the tote, it’s not hard to see why this bag isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The design of the Tribute is very uncomplicated, but the simplicity of it and the details are what make the bag unique.
The quilted patent leather provides an interesting texture and creates the croco-embossed look. Though this type of material is trendy right now, it definitely isn’t new to fashion but is always elegant. For a modern addition, gold zippers run partially down either side of the tote. Another distinct feature is the logo tag hanging from one of the handle rings. It’s a subtle way of showing the brand. The gold-toned hardware looks great with the black leather.
I’m not surprised that YSL would produce such a classic handbag. It’s what has made them a design powerhouse for decades. I wouldn’t say they always push the envelope in fashion, but almost any YSL purchase will be timeless, which makes the designer prices worth every penny. If you’re going to spend a significant amount of money on a purse, you might as well choose something that will last for years like the Tribute.
