New Saint Laurent Camera Bag!

When I first started looking into camera bags, the Marmont was the front runner. However, when I saw (and held) the YSL, I knew that I had found my bag. It’s obviously a personal preference, but after examining the YSL, I realized that I’m not a fan of the chevron pattern on the Gucci. I much prefer the more simplistic pattern of the YSL - it’s less busy, and just has a cleaner, more elegant look to me. Again, just my personal opinion.

That being said, I have 5 (canvas) Gucci bags, and have been extremely happy with the quality! The camera bag is the only YSL that I currently own, and after using it about 15 times, there are numerous creases in the leather, on the top of the bag, by the zipper. The majority of the bags in my collection are made primarily of fabric, so I’m not sure if creasing in the leather is a normal occurrence, but it does bug me!

Good luck with your decision! Let us know what you decide!


Thank you for the feed back! Now that you mention the chevron on the Gucci bag, I see that I do like the appearance of the YSL a little more. Thank you for your help!

So disappointed - this isn’t the same bag that was pictured on the website. It’s so not cute in person. Not sure if the bag online even exists!

But I kind of prefer the all black leather trim on the back and all around. Otherwise it's too much leopard in one bag. Can you take a close pic of the leopard material? What is it made of?

It's suede - honestly, the bag looks cheap and trashy. I'm surprised - I have the envelope bag and it's stunning, as well as the sac de jour - also stunning. I sent this bag back today. It just felt like a giant square suede/leather bag that you'd find at TJ Maxx in a couple years.

Yikes. Don't settle. I worried it wasn't some sort of cowhide, or suede. But canvas? No.

It’s been 6 months since that ... and no complain at all , thank God bc was my first ysl ítem .
Leather and logo no scratches ( maybe the croc embossed and the different finish like goth style helps)
Kept the shape so well
My only complain is the tassel but

Hello everyone! I am planning to purchase the camera bag in silver hardware on their website. Had a hard time looking for it at Neiman and Saks. Always in Back Order. How many days or weeks will it take to get the bag? Thank you in advance for those who will reply! ^_^

I haven't had to wait long either of the times I ordered from the YSL site. I'd say I got the back within a week to 10 days after I placed my order; probably closer to a week.

Hi, I ordered the camera bag in silver from Saks website on Wednesday evening. I checked shoprunner which was an option for free two day shipping. My bag has shipped and is scheduled for delivery on Saturday as in tomorrow. This is my first time using shoprunner.
