Hiii girls! Maybe you'll be better informed than me. I've wanted to splurge on SL Sac de jour nano in grained leather with silver hardware, but it seems to be sold out everywhere in Europe? I feel like I've already searched everywhere. I've managed to find the one with the somewhat pressed logo (all black), but I think I'd prefer the silver one much more. Do you know why is that, is this f/w collection or sth, should I wait? >.<
I'm going to be in Berlin in a couple of weeks, but I doubt they ll have it there for some reason...

I know it's available on some department stores' sites based in the US, but the taxes etc make me very hesitant about the purchase.

I see this re-stocked every season so maybe you can put yourself on a wait list for fall? I'm sure they will keep making them.

Hi! I am equally obsessed with the SDJ nano and the Givenchy Horizon nano (looove tiny bags). Has anyone seen/tried both of them and can help me compare? Which one do you prefer? Sadly I'd have to order and can't do it myself :sad: (no stores where I live)

Givenchy nano is smaller. I like the size more because it's cuter. But it is harder to get in and out of when you snap the band shut. The SDJ nano is more practical because it's easier to get in and out of and it fits more. I could easily fit sunglasses in the SDJ but not as easily in the Givenchy.

The Givenchy nano is harder to find, I don't think it has been selling well and now that the creative director is out I think they may discontinue it. The SDJ nano is everywhere.

To me the Givenchy is the perfect size in terms of looks and I wish they made the SDJ that size. It's between a nano and toy SDJ. (The Toy SDJ is too small as it can't fit a cell phone.) However if you will be using it a lot, you may get irritated by how small the top opening is unless you are constantly opening and snapping the snaps on the back. For me it is worth it for the look alone!

I definitely prefer the size of the Givenchy. But if I could only keep one I would keep the SDJ mostly because I love Hedi Slimane and his aesthetic and so I have that attachment there that I don't have to Ricardo Tischi. But that's just me!

Thanks for your excellent feedback! I actually found a black nano horizon on Vestiaire and will get it next week!!! Soo excited! I love how tiny it (like me haha) and hopefully the buckle wont be too much of a hassle...

I definitely like the old more structured look better. What size do you want to get?

Small. I went to try on the latest version (with the studs on the tabs at the front) today and it is slouchier by design, I do prefer the old heavier structured bag.

There was a beautiful tan one though, but looked like it would scratch just by looking at it! And I am not ready for the classic style that it commands but it was luxe, so smooth and beautiful.

I got my SDJ fairly recently. It's the small size in smooth leather, the old, structured version. Not sure why so many folks are afraid of this leather - it's so, so luxe and not nearly as delicate as you'd think. I love my SDJ - I just can't get past those unnecessary studs on the new one. Good luck deciding :smile:

hi everyone,im newbie here....i just purchased a Saint Laurent SDJ in Smooth leather and the color is Turquoise.I was offered SDJ in mint green ,but then i decided to go with the turquoise.Should i keep it or is not going to last?i want it to be versatile and timeless but i have never owned any bright color bag before.My one and only red bag i got is a chanel flap bag, and the rest are mostly black/brown bags.And any tips what to wear with such a bright color SDJ like mine? Thankyou so much in advance.If i keep this bag, this will be my second bright colored bag, and im kinda panic about how to make it look classy with my outfit since the color is very bright,but it such a fun color to match..i know black SDJ seems very timeless, but what's the fun of life if we keep buying black bags all the time? LOL

The thing with Sac De Jour is quality. First generation of these bags were destroyed, because of soft leather. Bag could lose shape after few months. So Saint Laurent received a lot of complaints (Have few friends who work for Saint Laurent). After they made it with hard leather which I have, but it's so heavy and yeah it looks like "just another bad version of firkin bag" haha
