YSL Muse

I like very much. Classic enough to carry for a few seasons - perhaps even more so than the the Fendi Spy or Balenciaga. At $1,295, the YSL Muse ain't cheap but it's comparably priced next to your Chanel, Fendi, Louis, Balenciaga, and even Marc Jacobs.

It's a traditionally styled, no frills kind of bag aka no studs, no dangly strings, and no elaborate twists.
