Yves Saint Laurent large shopping tote

I’m no terrific fan of paying high prices for non-leather bags, but after seeing the Yves Saint Laurent large shopping Tote, I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to continue my resistance to the concept.

When you’re a fan of designer handbags, it’s best to come up with some personal price boundaries to avoid getting carried away. It’s easy to become desensitized when the most highly sought-after bag in the world costs in the high four figures, but not every bag is worth what the maker might want us to pay. The Yves Saint Laurent large shopping tote has positioned itself in an interesting spot, however – the price just might be low enough to pique my interest for such an attractive bag, even though it’s not made entirely of leather.

This bag has three very strong things running in its favor: first, it’s generously sized. I don’t know any individual that would need a larger bag for work (although I’m sure that are people that would), and this could also easily hold a laptop and books for a super-fashionable college student. Second, that color. It’s wonderful. Amazing. Beautiful. Unique. I love it. It’s probably better suited for fall than summer, but it’s never too early to start getting your wardrobe together for next season, now is it?

What maybe helps this bag the most, however, is the fact that, even at $700, it’s a relative steal for a brand like Yves Saint Laurent. When you consider this bag, with its very functional size and shape and stunning color, within the brand’s normal pricing scheme, paying that much for a non-leather bag seems to be a little a lot more reasonable. remember how I said that you shouldn’t get sucked in by price desensitization? Well, yeah, I just talked myself ideal out of that whole theory. This bag is absolutely great. get through Saks for $695.
