Yves Saint Laurent have just launched their 'Cabas Chyc' tote for A/W 2011.

Supremely functional, not obnoxiously logo-ed up and potentially, a bit iconic in years to come, the large volume leather bag features comfy tubular handles secured to a soft, sturdy body via gold-toned metal rings.

A double zip and leather flap with gold-toned a "Y" buckle keeps the contents secure.

Classic black or camel is a good choice for traditionalists (and those looking for something to accent this season's 70s - tinged looks) but we say there's nothing wrong with a bold shot of colour.

Gotta love that electric blue...
