i was browsing the new offerings at theYves Saint Laurent websitetoday and this tote instantly caught my eye:
i assume this is part of their men's Cruise 2010 collection. i've yet to find out the official name for it, the website only describes it as "tote in multicolor printed nylon". perhaps to most, this bag is a bit on the whacky side, but im really loving the look of it. it seems like a very functional summer tote perfect for beachside outings or downtown excursions. the combination of chocolate brown, beige and a dash of sky blue just gives it extra punch. but its that flash of the stylized leopard pattern - which strongly reminds me of LV's very popular Spouse Leopard print - that makes a potentially nondescript nylon bag that needed verve. i would like to find out what those handles on the side do. surely they're not just some random design frivolity. it looks to me like the bag converts onto a slightly different configuration depending on which handles are used.
very interesting in an ugly/beautiful sort of way and i like it!
i think the upper part from the zippered opening down to the horizontal herringbone trim (i.e. the first half of the leopard print part) can be folded/tucked into the the mouth of the bag. when configured this way, you'll have a 'tricolor' bag.... what do you think?

i think you've got something there. it does look like it could fold into half its size across. do you recon those side handles are actually drawstrings or could it be backpack straps? hmmm...
im glad you like my little blog and thanks for visiting regularly. it is much appreciated. =)
it is so artsy! i like. i am so intrigued by those additional handles/straps...the comment above makes a point too...keep us posted once you figure it out! hehehe...
i've had a good think and i recon the anonymous poster got it spot on. if you fold the upper part inward down to the horizontal "bar", the two other handles take over.
