\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">So, it is the YSL iCare Maxi bag in the raffia style. You might&#8217;ve seen this bag around last year, or maybe the year before that. Saint Laurent had released the exact same design, but in black leather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In fact, I have a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepursequeen.co\/replica-ysl-icare-maxi-review\/\">replica YSL iCare<\/a> in the black leather version. I love the black leather one I bought. I&#8217;ve been eyeing this one too, but not sure how often I&#8217;d actually wear it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">And I asked my husband what he thought of this bag, and he took it as a hint and went ahead and bought it. My silly, silly hubby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">This YSL straw beach bag is really big and spacious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The logo is also quite large, so if you&#8217;re not into big logos, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you&#8217;re into a bit of a bougie vibe, this could be a fantastic pick for summer. I really dig the raffia\u2014it&#8217;s so summery.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It&#8217;s got two medium-length straps that are nice and thick, so they feel comfy on your shoulder.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Right in the middle of the bag, there&#8217;s a YSL logo in brown gold hardware, and below that logo, it&#8217;s got a tan brown leather base.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If you don&#8217;t want to be too flashy, you can just wear it with the logo facing towards your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">And inside, it&#8217;s literally just one big open space with no pockets or anything.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It&#8217;s got these grommets with &#8216;Saint Laurent Paris&#8217; on either side. The grommets look good.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The leather tab also looks good. It says the bag is made in Madagascar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Just like the leather version, this YSL beach bag also comes with a little pouch. It&#8217;s made of raffia, and there&#8217;s a leather piece at the back, so it has a tiny back pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I like this little pouch. It would be just perfect for lunch or parties at beach clubs!<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"

But the dealbreaker for me is the price, it&#8217;s just unacceptable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The all-leather one is $4,900, and this raffia one is even pricier at $5,300. Yeah I know it&#8217;s handwoven, I still feel it&#8217;s not worth it, especially there is the YSL beach bag dupe out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">(I&#8217;ve bought a few <a href=\"https:\/\/thepursequeen.co\/chloe-bag-dupe\/\">Chloe replica bags<\/a> before, and one of them was the Chlo\u00e9 Small Woody Basket Bag, which is also a raffia bag. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I was super impressed with it, it&#8217;s got a great design and practical. Pretty much become a must-have for my summer outings.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Yes, I just said it&#8217;s more than a beach bag, but it&#8217;s a summer bag, so I&#8217;d only use it for a few weeks during the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I know myself too well, there&#8217;s a good chance this one would just end up sitting in my closet, like when they release a new bag next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">So after I talked some sense into my husband, we took the bag back to the store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">What do you think?

High Quality Replica Handbag Shop was started in August of of 2010 by me, Angie (short for Angelina), as a blog that reviews authentic &amp; replica handbags I have purchased throughout the years, and\u00a0 replica websites as well. I am your typical fashion obsessed woman in her 30s (think Blair Waldorf or Serena van Der Woodsen post-Gossip Girl) based in New York, but frequently travel around the globe (my favorite vacation spot is essentially anywhere in Europe). When I stepped over to the dark side of replicas there was zero guidance on where to shop, how to shop, what to shop for, and how to pick out a good replica bag so I was literally shopping blindfolded, and made many big purchasing mistakes along the way. I have been disappointed, scammed, and also amazingly surprised as to what I have been able to find throughout the years and believe I have gained somewhat of a strong expertise on the area of replica bags (I never thought I would know so much about fake bags - but hey, here I am!). Why do you buy fake bags? Can't you just afford the real deal? Many people like to assume that those who purchase fake or replica handbags simply cannot afford to purchase authentic ones. This is a big myth as I am personally able to walk into any designer store and drop the money for the real deal, as I am financially fortunate, which is a great blessing, however the truth is I think many luxury goods are way overpriced and not convinced I am getting my money's worth. I know I'm not the only one who believes this as many of my friends, and blog readers with deep pockets agree. Other reasons many have turned to buying replicas include that they want to make sure they love a specific bag before splurging on the real deal, or they want a spare bag to use while their authentic bag is kept in good condition (as they are hefty investments). So after years of paying full price at Harrods, Nordstrom, Selfridges, and the designer boutiques themselves I took a plunge into replicas and mostly haven't turned back since. However it is important to note that there are still many bags that I would only buy the authentic version of (and have) as their replica counterpart's leave much to be desired. I believe I now know how to accurately guesstimate which designer handbags are most likely to turn out as a good as opposed to bad. Why do you blog about replica bags? As mentioned earlier when I began to shop for replicas the replica world was a scary place with zero guidance. There was very little information on sellers and every purchase was a\u00a0 gamble. This resulted on me personally wasting a lot of money before I got into the groove of replica shopping. I have created this blog to cater to a community of wonderful shoppers that seek both authentic and replica bags. This blog is for fashionistas who want to know how to hunt for a good replica bag. I provide bag reviews, brand guides, website reviews, and general shopping advice on designer handbags. I have aimed to create a useful shopping tool to help navigate the murky waters of the replica world. Another reason I blog about replicas is because I find it absolutely crazy how good some replicas bags are and need people to share my hauls with, as the excitement is too much for me to contain just to myself! How can I contact you? Before you contact me I suggest you peruse the site. A lot of information is sprinkled throughout the blog about almost everything replica-related. However if you are craving for more, you can feel free to follow me on social media including Instagram, and Youtube. If you have any personal questions feel free to shoot me an Email!\",\"sameAs\":[\"the.purse.queen\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/thepursequeen.co\/author\/fashionistaforever932453026\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast2 SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"YSL Beach Bag Icare in Raffia: Unboxing and Review","description":"Here's a quick unboxing and review of the YSL Beach Bag iCare in Raffia.

I have been disappointed, scammed, and also amazingly surprised as to what I have been able to find throughout the years and believe I have gained somewhat of a strong expertise on the area of replica bags (I never thought I would know so much about fake bags - but hey, here I am!). Why do you buy fake bags? Can't you just afford the real deal? Many people like to assume that those who purchase fake or replica handbags simply cannot afford to purchase authentic ones. This is a big myth as I am personally able to walk into any designer store and drop the money for the real deal, as I am financially fortunate, which is a great blessing, however the truth is I think many luxury goods are way overpriced and not convinced I am getting my money's worth. I know I'm not the only one who believes this as many of my friends, and blog readers with deep pockets agree. Other reasons many have turned to buying replicas include that they want to make sure they love a specific bag before splurging on the real deal, or they want a spare bag to use while their authentic bag is kept in good condition (as they are hefty investments). So after years of paying full price at Harrods, Nordstrom, Selfridges, and the designer boutiques themselves I took a plunge into replicas and mostly haven't turned back since. However it is important to note that there are still many bags that I would only buy the authentic version of (and have) as their replica counterpart's leave much to be desired. I believe I now know how to accurately guesstimate which designer handbags are most likely to turn out as a good as opposed to bad. Why do you blog about replica bags? As mentioned earlier when I began to shop for replicas the replica world was a scary place with zero guidance. There was very little information on sellers and every purchase was a\u00a0 gamble. This resulted on me personally wasting a lot of money before I got into the groove of replica shopping. I have created this blog to cater to a community of wonderful shoppers that seek both authentic and replica bags. This blog is for fashionistas who want to know how to hunt for a good replica bag. I provide bag reviews, brand guides, website reviews, and general shopping advice on designer handbags. I have aimed to create a useful shopping tool to help navigate the murky waters of the replica world. Another reason I blog about replicas is because I find it absolutely crazy how good some replicas bags are and need people to share my hauls with, as the excitement is too much for me to contain just to myself! How can I contact you? Before you contact me I suggest you peruse the site. A lot of information is sprinkled throughout the blog about almost everything replica-related.
