YSL Solferino

just purchased the saint laurent medium solferino in beige houndstooth with brown smooth leather!
i will be picking it up from neiman marcus sometime this week and fell in love with the color combination. the size is perfect and I love the tweed
this is my first time seeing saint laurent do tweed bags and I had to get it!!
 
Saw in person last week in store. I loved it!
I usually wear my bags crossbody and a little higher, close to the chest.
The medium version it's perfect for me. But I agree.. the price it's a bit expensive when we compare other ysl bags.
But this dark blue it's just gorgeous! I love the aged hardware.

Hi there! Do you mind sharing how your Solferino wear and tear is? :smile: Have been considering between this in Medium and the Kaia!
 
I’m not sure about wear and tear or I got really unlucky but the bag does not look great and I got it 11 months ago..

I got mine one year ago and last sunday the bag closure just broke.
I must say that I was really disappointed since is a very expensive bag and one of my favorites.
I sent a text to my SA and she told me to bring the bag to the store, because they would fix it.
I was like, ok.. but l really thought that this problem was a little bit hard to fix. Maybe they would have to send to their atelier in france or italy and that would be months without my bag.

The store manager came in and told me they can't fix it
And I was like: what should I do?
And he told me to pick new one, I could even have it in a new color.
Decided to keep with my navy blue. But i'm very impressed with their customer service!

Beautiful bag, and this shade of deep somewhat muted blue really suits it, I think.
 
Hi all, I managed to get new Solferino after my previous one developed the “bubbles”. Any good tips to prevent it in the future? How do I impregnate it? Do you have products you recommend that wouldn’t damage the embellishment?
