This YSL Handbag Is Sad & Over Priced























We love the increase in eco-friendly fashion and beauty brands displaying their consciousness of the environment. Usually it takes high-end companies longer to comply, but Yves Saint Laurent has recently created a bag made of recycled plastic. Pretty cool! Here's the description per YSL's website:

"The Muse Two marries the savoir-faire of Yves Saint Laurent leather goods with the artisanal handiwork of women from Burkina Faso. With this Yves Saint Laurent further emphasizes its commitment to innovation in design and particularly to corporate social responsibility, demonstrated in the initiative’s alliance with a non-profit women’s organization and its use of recycled materials."

Yay for YSL for showing they care about the environment. But then we saw the price one must pay to support this endeavor. $1,720! Hmph. Sorry, YSL. Your plastic bag sure is pretty and fancy looking, but it would take us more than a lifetime of recycled cans to afford this.
