YSL Calypso Bag

0413609454288_275x275.jpgIf you love the structure and shape of the Muse but wish it were softer and not on the arm of every girl on the street; Calypso from YSL may just be your answer! In winter white fabulous pearl Riz de Grain leather and a double braided handle (which looks nice but it doesn’t stay as flat on shoulder as the Muse), this is the updated Muse that YSL addicts have been waiting for. It’s really strange, this hold YSL has over me… my eyes glaze over when I walk in one of its boutique and I decide I must have everything or I can not go on. And it’s not just the bags, its the ready to wear, the shoes (the amazingly fabulous Tributes platforms!).

What about you, what brand makes your knees weak? YSL Calypso in Medium (19″x14″) at Saks.com $2,095

  1. Tina-I don´t need to answer your question,you know it. The bag you now show us is nicer than the Muse, more feminine may I add. Actually the famous original Muse is one that I´m not so keen on. I keep wondering why it is so popular. Maybe one of the reason is that it is priced sensibly.

  2. Too similar to the Muse. It seems to me that the design team behind YSL got lazy and reproduce a successful model hoping it will sell as well as the original. Having said that I need to see it up close in order to decide if I want to include it on my website.

  3. I didn’t really care for the muse, but this one seems to do a wee bit better. I can still pass though. I love the blue color that YSL has done on their bags…probably should go check it out. The only bag I really want from them is the Majorelle….gooooorgeous!

  4. Msjean, your comment is on TARGET..LOL…(i still love all the other YSL products, esp the shoes. Tina, i love the tribute platforms too..have them in both purple and black suede ones!)

  5. I have the Muse 2 in that blue.I have had it a while. Rachele Zoe’s assistant was carrying it recently on her show.It is a great slouchy chic bag that can carry a lot!!
