Help! Looking to purchase a YSL clutch to do me many years and not sure which of these I should get? Admittedly there's not much in it - one's squarer and ones more rectangular - but which would you pick and why? Grin

First outing will be with this dress, gorgeous cream tux jacket and black strappy heels probably.. After that I just want classic and versatile..

I understand Queen, they are a bit dull perhaps but I don't want anything that will date at that price Grin

If i buy my DP a YSL clutch will she leave me??

AttilaTheMeerkat · 12/06/2014 15:04

I thought those clutch bags of YSLs looked dated tbh.

Lulu Guinness clutch bag instead?. They're a quarter of what Selfridges are asking.

And no to black shoes with that dress.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 12/06/2014 15:04

I take the point about the not wanting it to date. I still think the third one is best, the other two are two in-your-face with the logo which is not a classy look IMO.

Lovely dress BTW.

Lweji · 12/06/2014 15:06

Yes the Y clutch is better.

And not ivory with white.

And, yes, getthefeckouttahere, if you buy her a YSL bag she will leave you. It's awfully controlling to do that. She should choose the bag. It's a very personal thing.

FuckyNell · 12/06/2014 15:07

I like the first one

HappyGirlNow · 12/06/2014 15:08

Thank you, yes agree re logo now..Grin

Attila, know what you're saying about the black shoes but they're very fine strapped sandals and not too heavy with it.. The black and cream looks v classy.. Tried with gold strappy ones and it looked now but not AS nice..

Thanks re dress, love it Grin

Third one.

kukeslala · 12/06/2014 17:25

Black one with"Y" clasp.

Smilesandpiles · 12/06/2014 18:16

How much?????

CitrusSun · 12/06/2014 21:15

I think they're hideous but then I hate to see brands paraded, it's so pretentious. Sheeple, don't follow the pack, be an individual.

lanadelray · 12/06/2014 21:21

The third one! It's all over my Instagram boards. I would love one.

lanadelray · 12/06/2014 21:25

Pinterest boards

Cabrinha · 12/06/2014 21:33

I've only looked at the first one, good lord it's horrible!
Can you explain to me why people buy bags with a massive YSL on?
I get that some designers are great, and you love the design of the actual purse. But that one is just a back drop for a very ostentatious logo. I just don't get it.
It's not even the money (though I never would!) it's the branding. It's like having a carrier bag advertising a supermarket!
It just seems to me that it is a way of telling everyone it's expensive. It's not a nice bag made by YSL. It's just a billboard.

LTBag, definitely!

HappyGirlNow · 12/06/2014 21:40

Yip I agree now.. I don't have anything branded or with logos so wasn't really sure about it, just wanted something classic.. Much prefer the 'Y' logo now..

I have asked for this to be moved to Style and Beauty but Mumsnet are taking their time...

Thanks Helen Grin

Love the last two you linked, didn't like the first two. I have it (the black one) on my pin along with this Gucci loveliness

ReallyFuckingFedUp · 12/06/2014 23:13

Yeah go with the Y purse, =or the green liips

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 12/06/2014 23:34

Yes to the 3rd one. Yes to black heels.

No to Lulu Guinness.

HappyGirlNow · 13/06/2014 08:28

Thanks for replies Grin

Like the Gucci Betty but I wear gold so would prefer gold hardware...

Belinda thanks for the vote of confidence for the black heels. My initial thoughts were gold heels as I thought black would be too heavy. Have shoes like these in gold and black. But I just think the black and cream is so classy together and they're not heavy shoes, nice and fine straps. Do you still think the black are best? I need to look magnificent at the event that's coming up! Grin
