YSL Hamptons Tote

Ok, ok: one look at this bag and you're probably thinking "Swiss cheese." I understand the comparison is inevitable, but this Hamptons tote in black perforated leather is very sleek, very masculine and makes for both the ideal work bag and carry-on (I should know; I own one and use it frequently!) Needless to say, it's incredibly roomy inside and the soft, contoured handles ensure a smooth grip no matter how much you're carrying. The double zipper feature is also a nice touch; it helps the bag keep its structure (the upper corners don't collapse in unlike some similar bags of this shape) while affording you privacy. As for those leather holes, it's actually a second layer of leather that's placed over the first layer, so nothing will fall out or be exposed. The "Y" is obvious in the photo, but not so much in real life--which, for me, is a good thing. Best of all? This is a runway bag, ensuring that you'll be one of the few owners of this limited-edition piece in the world.
