YSL Goes Green

The powerhouse designers at Yves Saint Laurent, commonly referred to as YSL have given women all over the world an even greater excuse to purchase the new, limited-edition Muse Two bag which is made from recyclable materials and helps global woman's issues. Fashionable and charitable? Sounds like a match made in heaven to me. Not to mention, sustainability is always a powerful fashion statement no matter what the cause or design.
This chic bag combines two great causes in one: sustainable development and design, and global women's issues. The limited-edition Muse Two is made of recycled plastic bags and woven cotton—a textile designed by the Women of Gafreh Association, which helps to promote and maintain the artistic and social values of women around the world. Each bag is then uniquely hand-produced by women from the Burkina Faso region of South Africa who have mastered the art of turning plastic into fabric




There were only 60 of these bags produced and all of them are unique. I love the texture that the materials give the bag, it adds a layer of lightness to the overall luxurious bag. The bag can be found online and at flagship stores in the U.S. and the U.K. The bag is priced at $1,720.
