Yves Saint Laurent Handbags: customize your Roady
Just in time for the holidays. How great of a gift would this be to the one you love.. a one of kind Roady!
For a limited time only, YSL is giving their clients in the New York and Los Angeles area the opportunity to purchase a customized Roady. Also I have to mention, as it’s worth noting, this isn’t your traditional customization. The boutiques will have artisans on hand customizing the handles – choose from a number of precious skins (ostrich, crocodile and lizard) in a variety of colors, with a total of 29 different handles offered, each in limited quantity. The handle will be changed in the boutiques and be ready by the following day. And for further personalization, you can even have the bag monogrammed inside with initials or even a sweet message – this part totally complimentary.
The price range for the classic Roady ranges from $1195 – $1795 and the handles will cost $225 for the lizard, $385 for the ostrich and $515 for the crocodile.
This sounds so fabulous. Anyone plan on hitting the YSL boutiques to get their bags customized??
Halston Allen Satchel
When I have written about Halston bags in the past, they have typically consisted of soft and unstructured styles. They were simple and almost completely void of decoration. They are in every way, an echo of what Halston is more famously known for — simple drape dresses. So when I came across the Halston Allen Medium Satchel, I found myself a bit confused. Yes, the bag is soft and unstructured. But this bag has what many other Halston bags do not — studs.
The Halston Allen Medium Satchel is more of a hobo than a satchel. The sides of the bag are made of pebbled leather, while the front and back are composed of super soft suede. Small, flat studs create a pattern that sort of reminds me of a starry night sky. However, it’s hard to tell exactly what look they were going for with this bag. Personally, I don’t hate this bag. But the pebbled leather/suede combo seems to be really throwing me off here. If I had it my way, this bag would be entirely suede. I do like the studs, however. I think they are pretty darn cute! How does everyone else feel about this bag?
