Free YSL Totes + Heart Shaped USB Keys for V Day
YSL Cotton Totes from September 2008

We all went a lil nuts last season when Yves Saint Laurent gave out free YSL cotton totes to promote their issue of Manifesto during fashion week. But if you didn’t get a free tote back in September, then here’s your chance. According to WWD, “Stefano Pilati will be spreading the love — along with limited edition cotton tote bags and heart-shaped USB keys — come Valentine’s Day.” Once again it’s to promote the latest issue of YSL’s Manifesto, “more than half a million copies of the catalogue will be distributed on the streets of Paris, New York, London, Milan, Tokyo and Hong Kong.” Limited to 2,000 in each city, each USB key are images of the ad campaign starring Claudia Schiffer, and a making-of in Hollywood with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. It also features stickers for readers to move around Claudia Schiffer and the Hollywood sign. No word on where the the totes and USB keys will be handed out like last time, I’ll keep you guys posted if I find out- or if you find out holla at me!

UPDATE 02.14.2009: I updated on my Twitter at about 11:10am about the location, i was at bryant park tent after lacoste show and they were passing out. don’t know where the next location is but follow my Twitter to get the quickest updates when I find out!

    I was able to get one last September. Feb. 14th will be during Fashion Week, so I’d say it’s a relatively safe bet that Bryant Park will be on that list.

  10. Cool totes.

    Random, but where’d you get your heart-shaped pin from?

  11. Yancy says:

    I agree that they will probably be handed out near somewhere Bryant Park in New York. Does anyone know exactly where they were handed out this past Sept?

  14. Winnie says:

    Thanks for this info. Please email me when anyone know where I can get one in NYC :] THANKS!

    Snagged one outside the entrance of the Bryant Park tents a little after 11.
    They had loads of mags but went to the van every so often to grab out 10 or so bags.
    One “model” even stated to a couple folks she can only give a tote out every 10 minutes (weird, I know), overall everything ran smoothly but it was extremely cold and in an awkward spot in the middle of the block.
