I queried bossman, and he told me that it was the Marc Jacobs Rolls Royce bag (which is not yet sold out at Saks).

^^Funny thing is, while it's sold out, I noticed that on handbag sites its reviews were very mixed (which is a polite way of saying totally negative)!

My fave review came from a saddened Gizmodiva, who is normally a big MJ fan: "It really doesn't look like anything he has ever offered before (everyone makes mistakes!). I am not sure if you would even want to be seen with it..."

There's a ton of excitement around the fashion blogosphere over the arrival of Collette in New York. According to the ColleteXGap web site, the beloved French boutique will create a "one-month installation (09-06 to 10-05) in Gap's rotating store," adjacent to its 54th & 5th Ave. flagship stores. No doubt there will be lots of fantastic merchandise, but from what I can see so far the Paris/New York collabo tees will be a highlight. Below is a screen grab of one featuring Paris stencil artist Miss Tic and N.Y. graff artists and designer Claw Money.

My only issue with this collabo is, why freaking Gap?? That chain sucks and has for a long-long time. Seriously, if you don't believe me, ask yourself when the last time was you shopped there for anything other than a pair of cotton panties? So the question arises, is Collete powerful enough to restore some modicum of hipness to Gap or will the ultra-slick French Mademoiselle get dragged down by the big plain chain's doofiness?? Because while it's true that opposites attract, the fact is that as a pair they're not always attractive!

 To be Honest I am posting this out of sheer love and respect for Yves St.Laurent(R.I.P.) himself. I 'm not really impressed with the tote itself, I would think Stefano Pilati and his team ,who has shown that they lack no sense of creativity would have come up with something a little more original..
