Hi everyone! Happy Easter. :)
I am looking to get my first YSL purchase - the Lou Camera bag!
I am torn between the dark beige with gold hardware or the black with the silver hardware. I know it’s personal preference but I can’t decide between the two.
Thanks everyone in advance for your input. :)

I am leaning towards the beige too! I want this bag to be my everyday bag. I have one black bag from Burberry and the rest are all LVs with either monogram or Damier abene print, so all brown bags. No beige bags. I am so torn because I feel like black is more everyday but I love the beige....

The spring sales are coming up here in April and May. YSL is often included in the department store sales, and even though there‘s no guarantee they’ll have it this year, YSL also has a sale themselves usually around the end of May. Beige will be much easier to find during the sales vs. the black with SHW. That could help sway towards the beige. Or just buy whichever color is included in a sale first? For the department stores don’t always have every color in stock. But they do usually have beige and red.

Currently Neiman Marcus has a promo where if you were to buy the camera bag, you’d get a $250 gift card. But they (along with Nordstrom’s and Saks) will have $$$ off instead of a gift card in the coming month or so. For the price of the camera bag it’d be between $200-$300 off depending which sale they‘re having at the time.

I bought a dark blood red version of this bag, with bronze hardware, which I love. I find it very easy to wear and a little more interesting than the black.
Generally though I prefer silver hardware :) so maybe between the two take the black??
Sorry I haven’t helped have I. :flowers:

I have the black one with silver HW and love it. It matches everything, and I don’t have to worry about color transfer. I would buy whichever one you’re drawn towards more. They are both beautiful colors though, so I can see why it’s hard to choose.

I completely agree. I also have the black with silver, and it really does go with everything. You can’t go wrong with either color though - it’s a fantastic bag.

Thank you for clarifying! I’m in Toronto, Canada so we don’t have Neiman Marcus but I will wait for Nordstrom! Thank you. :)

Now I am totally confused haha. I originally wanted the black but then saw the beige and fell in love. I guess I still have some time, as someone else mentioned there could be a potential sale at some of the department stores.

:flowers: I hear ya. It’s a big purchase, and both colors really are beautiful. Are you a silver-tone or gold-tone jewelry person? What color is most prevalent in your wardrobe?
While I think the beige is gorgeous, my wardrobe consists entirely of jeans - so just the thought of color transfer was enough to sway me from getting a lighter colored bag. Definitely give yourself some time to think on it. Good luck with your decision, and let us know what you end up getting!
