YSL Cigarettes ... Seriously?

YSL Cigarettes? Yes YSL has cigarettes now and yes for sale.

Apparently, many fashion houses license their names for cigarettes, much like they might for shoes, handbags, or the aforementioned perfume. Givenchy, Versace, Pierre Cardin, Christian Lacroix and Cartier have also been in the tobacco game at one point or another, via lending their brand caché and logo for the cause (for cash, of course), not by, you know, starting a tobacco farm or something.

The packaging is beautiful and classy though so I just have to give it to YSL, well done. As Keiri Perri of stylecaster.com puts it, "That black and gold, it's like the Opium bottle in cancer-causing form". I totally agree.

These "luxe" versions of cigarettes are mainly available in Asia and Russia and as expected, they're marketed primarily at women.

Oh Yves Please!

I am not really a fan of YSL but with this lovely Leather Flap Shoulder Bag I declare this day I am a loyal fan henceforth. A piece of this in my closet and I shall smile all year.
The bag accents a classic, sophisticated look, perfect for office wear.The silver cufflinks (y FLAP)gives it a vintage feel which almost makes you think it’s old, but I guess that’s exactly the essence of this YSL bag.

A short review: This Yves Saint Laurent Leather Flap Shoulder Bag only has 9½ x 6 x 1¾ inches dimension. The flap has magnetic snap closure, which would then reveal the fully lined interior with a zip pocket and three separate open compartments,where the middle one is larger.
And since this Yves Saint Laurent Leather Flap Shoulder Bag is a classic, you know it would complement any of your office duty tailoring well.
