Saint Laurent Sac De Jour...

Hey guys, I'm new to the TPF and the designer handbag world in general. I just recently placed a pre-order on Saks for the black nano SDJ in grained leather with silver hardware. I pre-ordered it on the Canadian website and it only came to $1600 CAD. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with pre-orders on Saks - have they ever increased the price after? I just had to get the bag since it seemed like such a steal I hope they don't cancel or increase the price on my order!

I also saw it on the Saks website and placed my order right away! I told my friend about it and she tried to order it a few days after and it was all sold out. I was originally deciding between the classic SDJ nano vs the new souple version but the price made my decision very easy. Hopefully they don't cancel our orders/change the price!!!
 
Well, I am getting close to my trip to Paris which means I'm close to possibly purchasing my bag. Why have I changed my mind so many times? This is so unlike me. After my last visit to my local YSL boutique, this is what I've decided... sac de jour in baby souple leather in earth (gray) color. This bag only comes in black, tan, or earth which looks a tad darker than fog. It's a gray color. Now, please advice me if you think I'm off track in my thinking. I'm not looking for a dressy bag at all. Just an everyday classy bag. The souple leather has a tad bit of a wider strap making it more comfortable cross-body which is how I will wear it. I like that the strap is attached to the sides of the bag instead of the alternating strap. Hangs straight and stays closed when in use. I loved the tan color, but I'm afraid of color transfer with black pants or jeans. I'm petite so felt the gray color gave a pop of color against my black pants or jeans. Is there any reason I should stay away from this bag or color? I don't want to make a costly mistake. Thank you so much. Now I just have to be sure to find the bag!

I think the Baby size Sac De Jour is perfect for everyday use. Can be both casual and dressy depending what you wear it with. Grey is always a fabulous nuetral color. The supple leather is really nice. I say go for it! :)

I say if it makes your heart soar, then you should get it. If the gray color makes the bag drop dead gorgeous to you, then you should go with that one. Plus I've seen it in person, and it is a nice color. I sometimes see my purse lying around and I'll be like "wow look how preeetty!" So I think I made a good decision going with black even though I usually don't like black for an every day bag, but for some reason, it works with this bag for me ;)

Good luck!

Thanks! The bag is beautiful on black and that was my original color. Everything I own seems to be black and for some reason on me I liked the way the gray looked. Just a change from the black I always own. Hopefully, I won't be sorry but am excited for a different neutral color. So glad you are loving yours. It is a gorgeous bag!
 
I'm really disappointed in the new design of the Sac De Jour. It no longer has the structure that make it look so high class. Now it just looks like a fat slouchy work bag.
The Saint Laurent Sac De Jour comes in many versions. Some have no lining, some have suede lining, some are very stiff, some are heavy, some have no lining and are lightweight and this one is just another version, thicker, softer leather. I still think it looks very chic and maintains it's shape when full. I like the structured design and the soft leather. There are many Sac De Jour versions for you to choose from. :smile::flowers:

I was checking my banking app today and I noticed that Borderfree/Saks took the preauthorization off my credit card - did they do the same for you? I'm hoping that they don't cancel my order since that happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I first placed an order.

It happened to me as well but I think it's because they won't charge us until the bag has actually been shipped. Haven't received anything about a cancelled order so fingers crossed!!
 
Guys, I'm torn between two pre-owned Small SDJ in smooth leather. The other one cost $2499 CAD, bought in Paris in 2015. Looks excellent. The other one is $2000 purchased Feb 2016 in Canada but has two minor blemishes. Need your advice. Posting pics. First one is the $2499...second is the $2000

Hi all. I just purchased a gorgeous small croc embossed SDJ and am awaiting its arrival. I intend to use this as a work bag at a very conservative office, and I am hoping it will easily fit a small file of A4 size documents. Not too many, but I do take home a few dozen papers most nights. I've found conflicting information online, with some saying you have to open the tabs in order to fit A4. For anyone that has the small, is this true? I should just wait patiently for my bag to arrive to answer this for myself, but as I'm sure you know, a week feels like forever when you're waiting for a new handbag to arrive! :)
