The Muse has been on the handbag scene since Spring of 2006, when everyone went clamoring for the oversized version in white. Everyone from Kate Moss to Jennifer Lopez to Oprah herself were seen jet setting and tabloid hopping with the gigantic bag. The classic design is perfect for travel, and the simplicity makes it a great bag to have in your collection for years to come.

Now the Yves Saint Laurent Muse Handbag is recreated in a croc embossed version that gives us a bigger dose of luxury that before. The purse is still classic, only with wow factor. The same hardware applies, and the roomy bag can be held in the nook of your elbow or on the shoulder when you’re passing through customs. I adore this bag for travel, due to it’s ability to be pushed beneath the seat in front of me (if you’re flying…coach!), and also filled to the brim with magazines, water, portable DVD player, and all of the other things essential for an enjoyable plane ride. This bag can definitely handle the wear-and-tear of everyday life, and depending on what kind of mommy you are, would make a great play date or diaper bag. The generous interior pocket can easily hold a foldover wallet, and cell, leaving the bulk of the bag to be filled with everything for your little ones. At $1,595, it would be one expensive diaper bag, but for yummy mummies the price is well worth it. $1,595 at Saks Fifth Avenue
