So pleased to share my first Saint Laurent, in the baby size. I snagged this from Fashionphile in brand new condition. I've been eyeing this designer for a few years and decided to start with this lovely snake trimmed style. When I saw that it came with the snake pouch I felt better about this purchase.

Now that is a nice pouch you can wear out. Congrats on your purchase. Unfortunately, I don't have the same advantage with mine[emoji17] .

Okay, so I can't stop gushing about this bag. It looks so polished, elegant and effortlessly sophisticated. It looks under the radar but high end at the same time. And not only that, but it is also super easy to use and carry! It's the perfect combo. I have so many bags that either look great but are fussy to carry, or are just too casual but easy and enjoyable to use. This is the ultimate perfect combo. I've been looking for a bag to fit this function for so long. I've wanted a sac de jour for years, and I'm so lucky to have finally scored an amazing one! I highly recommend this particular model. The interior is unlined and smooth, making it super lightweight and flexible. The ability to remove the pouch is just genius - some people prefer that high level of organization, and yet others prefer a nice wide open tote (as I do!). This gives you both options in one bag. And this color is just astounding - as I mentioned in my other post, it varies from a beautiful navy, nearly black, to a bright rich royal blue, depending on the light. I can't yet speak for durability because I just got it, but my other Saint Laurent bag (the monogram chevron tote) has been holding up very well for over a year and has a similar pebbled leather. I highly recommend this bag!

First SDJ: the leather peeled on on the corners, not the paint, but the leather it self!
Second SDJ: Same problem.
Third SDJ: The handles cracked
I have two SDJs - returned two brand new ones previously because one had crooked stitching and the other had edge paint smeared on the leather. The two I kept aren't perfect but "good enough" (which is normal for Saint Laurent standards).

I just talked about with some girlfriends, seems a lot of us had hit a jackpot and got a defective YSL bag at least one in the shopping-lifetime it seems. I only had a Kate and a SDJ and have been lucky enough to be getting non-defective products, but I will be sure to be on the fence while buying a YSL bag from now on.

I LOVE that shiny dark cognac color and almost bought it myself. It was 30% off on farfetch, up until recently when I noticed it was only 10% off [emoji22]. I just ordered a preowned one myself, in a dark blue color from 2016 I think. I can’t wait - I’ve been wanting the bag forever!!!

Did you make a decision? Doesn’t seem like you can go wrong with either. I would probably go with the 2nd one.
