If you're looking for an affordable designer piece that's leather, roomy, and stylish, you should definitely check out the Tribute Bag by YSL. And now there is a new hot color out, which is dark blue in patent leather. I absolutely love this color because it will go with anything and the shade is just right; not too bright and not too dark. In my opinion, this would be an awesome year-round piece to wear. And the color itself would definitely stand out in a crowd. Also, the shiny patent leather makes it all the better.

The Tribute bag is made of glossy calfskin leather with minimal golden harware applications, which makes is really simple. But I really like the gold-toned hardware because it goes great with that gorgeous shade of blue. One great feature about this piece is that the top has a magnetic snap closure and has partial side zip closures for easy access. And those side zippers will really come in handy since this one measures 17" x 16.5" and you will have to dig for what you need. Anyways, if you really like this bag, you'd better hurry on over to Bluefly because it probably won't last long at a sale price of only $772.

Oooh, I love patent leather! Thanks Alicia!

I love that color!

It reminds me so much of the MBMJ Teri, except for the leather, of course--smooshy vs patent--and the price. Cool bag.

They have these in black and dark red at Neimans Last Call and I'm just not impressed. I don't think they look like the price they are asking. Does that make sense?

This bag is awesome! I love mine

The more I see, the more I want... This is beautiful, I will have to add it to the ever-growing wish-list. Oh, and mental note: make appointment with bank manager, must ask to have finances re-juggled...

i love this bag & i love this color!

the color is beautiful, but the design is a little too bland for me
