Only complaint is that it's a tad heavy and only wore it once 
Soooo excited! I'm in Paris and it is amazing! I bought my Sac de jour baby in souple leather yesterday and it was such a pleasant experience. I bought it in the boutique on Avenue Montaigne. Had the champagne and was treated royally. My husband was even impressed! I went in asking for the for the gray bag and remembered the red was going to be available in October on the US site, so happened to ask if that was available and she went in the back and came out with it. My heart skipped a beat. It was gorgeous. It's called lipstick red, but it is actually a deeper red color, not bright at all. I really felt like it made a statement against my entire black/white/gray wardrobe. I immediately loved it, but had never considered it, as it wasn't going to be available and I always use dark bags. The red is what I ended up purchasing and I'm in love!!!! It was a great purchasing experience. I'll definitely share pics when I get back home! I'm also thinking about the small wallet. My husband was ready to purchase that as well but it takes me a few days to decide. Haha. May just go back for that. I really want to thank those of you that gave me advice on this bag. You have been wonderful! I also went in the LV boutiques and was quite disappointed in the availability of basic canvas pieces and I was not treated as well as in the Saint Laurent boutique. LV felt more like a market line. Just get in and out. I also wanted the pouchette accessories and no store in Paris has it. Not a big deal. I got what I really wanted at saint laurent. Will post pics when I return home. THX again for all the advice! You were a great help. I live a casual lifestyle and didn't want the bag dressier than it already is! I love it!
So excited to see pics and so happy for you it turned out well!!! Loved hearing your story. Maybe I'm just a typical TPF enabler, but I say buy the wallet! Maybe you could always return and if it perhaps with the euro price difference and VAT refund you would get back most of your money. Personally I think a classic red bag is a staple piece in every wardrobe, and it also sounds like it would go really well with yours. Hooray!!
Congrats and I hope the bag makes you happy for many years to come - not only for how beautiful and practical it is, but for the happy memories attached to it!
I have a baby croc embossed and compared all the weight between all leather finishes before buying. The type of leather you have chosen is the lightest sac de jour!
Just watch out not to get the suede leather inside the bag. But it shouldn't be available anyway on the official website. [emoji111]

Do you know if this version will be phasing out anytime soon ?
Thanks for updating us! I'm glad you found your perfect bag. As for the wallet, I would buy it now too. Congratulations and enjoy your vacation.
Thank you soooo much for your encouragement!! I'll post some pics when I get home. The bag is packaged up, but I'm thrilled with it!!
Thanks for all your answering of my questions over the last few months. You and bellebellebelle19 have been great with helping me makes my decision. I haven't gotten back to get the wallet yet and not sure which exact style, so will be checking it out again. Busy sightseeing and not shopping. Will post pics when I return home next week. Thanks again to everyone who helped with my decisions and steered me away from LV.
Let us see the baby !
The sac de jours are amazing bags - I really enjoyed reading your story! Congratulations with your purchase
Hi
I really love mine! I have had the medium SDJ in black since August 2016, and it is still stunning.
The leather is very luxurious, and actually does not scratch that easily (I got the smooth leather, and was afraid I had to baby it).
I'd say go for it
Thanks so much! It's all packaged up as I'm still here traveling and will be home on Monday, so will post pics then. I really love the color. It's actually a darker red than it appears in the pictures and will add just the right amount of interest to my conservative boring wardrobe. I tend to wear Theory and Vince clothes which are very neutral in color. Looked at the wallets too but wasn't crazy about the styles, so ended up getting a Louis Vuitton wallet in leather. It's navy with red trim. It's a perfect small size for the bag. Will post pics when I return home. THX everyone on this forum for "listening" to me as I debated my purchase. Went in thinking one color and came out with another. I'm also on the older side, so the handbag in a color makes me a feel a bit younger and definitely more stylish. Haha. Some days I just feel like I could use a bit of help! THX
