Saint Laurent Sac De Jour...

[baghagg]

It's in Woodbury Commons, a little bit north of New York City! I recommend it. The SAs there just let me be and look at and try on all the bags.

Did you notice if they had any Tributes ( sandals) and if yes, what colors? Tia.

Yes please [emoji847][emoji847][emoji847]. I think I will use the bag for the weekends and maybe for work.

Just saw Reebonz have listed two more sdj baby on their site but it's in the smooth leather.

Heyy so sorry i finally got to take mod shots for you. Here they are! Let me know if they're clear enough

On the crook of my arm..


Worn on the shoulder...


I don't really wear it crossbody because of the size of the bag though.
Also, mine was a couple of seasons ago (also purchased on Reebonz!), so the strap isn't adjustable. I heard since then they've got adjustable straps for newer models.

And here she is next to her her older sibling; the small SDJ

Thanks for the mod shots [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️.
Love the nano size too but I just purchased the baby an hour ago from Reebonz.
However after purchasing I noticed that the inside lining of the grained leather sdj is burgundy colour. I wonder if it's a past season color.

You just reminded me about the strap. I totally forgotten to check if the strap is adjustable but luckily it is. Thanks so much for the photos. I'm so in love with all the Saint Laurent bags. I personally think their quality reflects on their prices. I have a college Monogram in lambskin/goat and the quality is just amazing.

The baby is a great size! Not too small and not too big. If I could choose over again, I'd probably get that too. My small is from when they still lined the bags in leather, so it's quite heavy!

Can't tell you which season it's from, but that burgundy lining is beautiful!! [emoji7][emoji7]

My small has leather lining too, and yes it does get heavy!

you're very welcome glad to help. Wow that burgundy lining is so beautiful, and congrats on your new SDJ bag!!

thanks for responding! I actually decided to wait for fall colours because I was too unsure that the light grey would go with everything. I'm hoping that they come out with nice darker colours in the fall. I feel the black doesn't show the features of the bag the best.

Just an update: I ended up buying the baby SDJ in a SL boutique in Paris, in black grained leather. I loved it, but my story doesn't end there. I know it was pretty naive of me but I just accepted the bag that they wrapped up for me, and I didn't have time to open it or inspect it until 10 days later when I got back home. I even carried this bag (in the SL shopping bag) as my carry-on, in order to not risk it getting stolen or lost in checked luggage, or crushed inside a carry-on suitcase. Fast forward to today, I finally opened the bag and my heart sank: it had two giant scuffs on the front, probably caused by the lock. So either the bag was already scuffed or the SA packaged it too tightly and the pressure caused the scuffing.

I ended up calling my local boutique, and they let me bring in the bag for inspection and to see if it was eligible for an exchange. It was, and since I hadn't even unwrapped the bag until today, they couldn't say that I had damaged it. They let me exchange it for the same bag in the same color. I wish that were all's well that ends well, BUT I can't believe I just now noticed something very weird with the bag now that I got home.

The logo is really low on the front of the bag!! After all my perusing pictures online and seeing the bags in the store, I can't believe I didn't notice this at the SL boutique! Now that I noticed it, it looks WAY too low on the bag. I don't know what to do! I can't believe that they would exchange my real bag for a fake....or was this a sample display bag, or what? The logo is totally off, and now I'm too sheepish to bring it back.

I think if it really bothers you now, it's likely to keep bothering you in the future. You may be discouraged to wear the bag, which you probably don't want. I would call up their customer service if you don't want to deal with the same SAs or same store. This is inconsistent quality and you as the customer who's spent a lot of money on the bag has the right to ask for exchange if you're not satisfied with what you bought, especially when it's quite new still.
I haven't done this with Saint Laurent, but for LV. Bought a wallet that had a fault in the leather folding, and they exchanged it for a new one for me after 1 month of me wearing it event. Just be confident, and know your right. Luxury brands should respect their customers enough to treat us right good luck!

Thanks so much for your advice! I think I will call them because I can't unsee the logo imperfection now. Let's hope they are willing to help

Update 2:
Thanks everyone for your support! I called the other YSL boutique in my city, and spoke to the nicest SA ever (thank goodness). I asked if they had the bag that I wanted, and explained my story. She told me to come in, and when I showed her the weird logo, she compared it to another bag in the store, and you could see how low it was. Then she brought out another black SDJ in grained leather and guess what: it had the same low logo! She said they must have manufactured a batch of them with this different logo, but they just received another SDJ in black grained leather with silver hardware. She brought it out, and lo and behold, it had the "normal" logo.

I chose to exchange the replacement bag with the low logo for the normal one that looks just like the one I bought in Paris, but without the scuffs. I finally feel really HAPPY with my purchase. Phewww, I'm glad I made the effort to get the bag I really wanted.

Lovely to hear you found a solution and that you're happy with your purchase. Now enjoy that beauty!

I just got a smooth leather nano from saks for a little over $1000. I've always wanted a baby sized SDJ in pebble leather or croc, because I feel like that would be more versatile and durable. Not sure if I want to keep the nano, but it was such a great deal.
