Where can I find this YSL purse? - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

YSLLOVER · November 5th, 2008, 11:20 AM

Hi,

This is my first post, so I don't think I'm allowed to post a pic or a link. Anyway, I came across a picture of the Y mail evening clutch ( MINAUDIERE), but it wasn't it in satin, instead it was of leather with embossed lettering. Can anyone tell me where this is available? Thanks for any and all help!

It was the minaudiere? Or was it this envelope one?

Hey, welcome to TBF!

Also, I'm searching online, and I see mainly satin ones,I see the one boysRsmelly posted, and one in satin, and one in satin with the lettering address, as well as the Croc Minaudiere Gold Mirror, I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Hey, would love to help. Do you know what year/season it came out?

Hi boysRsmelly,

No, it's not the clutch that you pictured. It's a minaudiere, with the fancy closure up on top. But, it was leather and the address is embossed into the
leather.

Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you coach-princess348 and Jennifer. I only saw a pic of it in an ebay auction. The seller told me that it was real and not a prop. She had it sitting next to a Y mail tote. I will try posting the link..Thanks so much! I'm sorry I don't know how to answer directly to posts...

Ok, I'll keep looking for it.

The Tanger line, maybe?? It's made of satin...

coach-princess348 · November 5th, 2008, 07:08 PM

I looked a lot of places, and I can't find it, I see the exact same one but in satin, no leather like in the eBay pictures, and I don't see it on eBay either.
Sorry

Assuming the one in the picture is authentic, could it have been a VIP thing?

YSLLOVER · November 7th, 2008, 07:01 AM

Thanks so much for looking coach-princess348! It is dreamy isn't it though?

Good point boysRsmelly! I am going on the word of the seller. She said it is available for sale, but wouldn't offer any more information. What is a VIP thing? I'm new to the purse world. Thanks so much!

Some designers have parties for VIP customers marking a special occasion. They get "party favors", often in the form of an accessory. I have no clue if YSL has done this, but it is a thought.
