OP, lots of choices with both LV and YSL. I have an epi RB LV cardholder, which I like and that is faring well. I don’t have a YSL cardholder but I’ve considered it a few times. I worry that its metal logo could potentially scratch the inner (leather) lining of some of my bags. So in this instance I’d pick LV.
@fabuleux what experience of YSL makes you say that? I think it’s much too sweeping a statement!
All brands can have occasional quality issues. Caveat emptor - pick your own piece carefully.
I recently made a direct choice between the LV PM in empreinte and a YSL envelope bag. I was much more keen on the PM aesthetically, but I couldn’t find any piece where the glazing was of even width and smooth across the whole bag, and I picked the YSL envelope instead, that was around £200-300 more. It’s rapidly becoming one of my favourite bags.
Another time, I bought a pink YSL SDJ on the UK website. It had some tiny marks from glue residue. There were no new pieces left in England and CS were so helpful- helping me locate several new pieces in Paris (where I was going, anyways) and arranging with Galeries Lafayette to let me do a straight swap in a concession, in a different country!!
Does YSL have quality issues? Yes, occasionally. Does LV? Yes, occasionally. If the brand stands behind its name, that’s good enough for me
