The history behind the 'YSL' Cassandra line is an interesting one - it's actually named after Adolphe Mouron Cassandre, the man who designed the iconic 'YSL' logo seen here on the bag's front.
A part of me can't help but wonder if Taylor felt kinship to a bag that also shared a name with Cassandra, of Greek myth fame who was doomed to utter prophecies that no one would believe. The poetry of that possibility really strikes me as it feels almost assured that the next (Taylor's Version) re-record release will be reputation - an album that of course has roots in a famed phone call gone wrong where Taylor told the truth and no one believed her. Too stretchy? Or totally plausible? Would love your thoughts!
Regardless, I love the sleek lines and chain detailing on this bag. But what I love most - if my eyes aren't deceiving me - is this gorgeous green leather colour.
