Crappy, Logo-Covered Marc by Marc Totes to be Overshadowed by Crappy, Label-Heavy YSL Totes

Hipsters everywhere should prepare for the complete outdoing of their cheap-ass canvas logo totes from Marc by Marc. WWD says that YSL’s version will be handed out free in “key fashion cities” (NY included, of course) starting on September 6th. WWD touted the promo as something of a second coming of Christ-esque event, highlighting the fact that Stefano Pilati himself designed the bag. OMFG.

Look at it for a moment though, and it’s apparent that the “designing” didn’t really extend beyond flipping the pre-existing YSL logo upside down and making it enormous for easy spotting from a great distance. Though the black and white simplicity is certainly more chic than Marc’s bags, whose saturation in the general vicinity of NYU borders on offensive, the whole thing still reeks of a particular variety of over-large label presence that I can’t quite stand. On the bright side, now wannabe fashionistas will be just as easily identifiable as their plaid-covered, Bleecker Street counterparts.
