Hello all. I've recently purchased a baby SDJ in black. Just wondering one thing though... the bottom of the bag does not have studs like I've seen posted here. Instead it has 2 flat panels as shown in the photo I attached. Is this bag even authentic? Worrying now.. The padlock and keys etc have the "Saint Laurent" stamping though.

The newer souple version of the sac de jour has this bottom. I actually prefer it over the studs, as the studs are noisy when setting the bag down and can end up scratching surfaces. What you have is a reinforced piece of the leather on both sides of the bottom. I love the souple version and of course black is classic. Enjoy your bag!
 
Hi everyone,
I was looking into getting a baby sac de jour in moroder leather. The leather looks so unique and beautiful in the photos, I was wondering how durable would it be. I did not happen to see many reviews of it. Does anyone happen to own one ? Any suggestions ? :)

Thanks for clarifying this! And yes black is classic! :smile:
 
Is it just me or is the strap on the SDJ a tad long? I have the one with the adjustable strap and even on the last hole, the strap is still long on me. Comes to slightly lower than my waist.. Is there a way around this?
I feel the strap length is very personal. I didn't find it too long, for me the shortest setting is perfect for shoulder carry and the third setting is perfect for cross body.
Alternatively, maybe add more holes on the strap?

Do you have the souple or classic SDJ? I have the souple and I think the strap on the souple is longer. I’m 5’3” and wear it crossbody. There are 7 adjustments for length. I wear it on the second to longest length. Not a problem to shorten it and use it on my shoulder. I also tend to wear it low on my hip when worn crossbody. I love the length of it and all the adjustment possibilities. It’s my favorite bag ever!!!!!

I have it on the shortest setting too. It's perfect for cross body but when I carry it on my shoulder it keeps bumping my hips if you know what I mean haha.. I was thinking of adding more holes, however, call me crazy, another part of me is just not too keen on changing the look of this bag. Guess I gotta get used to it, only had it for a whole of 3 weeks?

I have the souple too. And I am 5'3" too! I love this bag! So I really need to get used to the length.

haha I know what you mean, yes maybe just not used to it yet. Another thing that I can think of is put on another strap like Fendi straps and many nice ones from other brands too, but it will change the look. btw I'm 5'6" but don't think that makes a difference on where hit the body?
 
Got this souple for only a few months and I rotate my bags on regular basis which means this bag is not even heavily used... the front is already collapsing. Not sure why but I do baby my bags a lot and make sure it is well kept and stuffed when I store it. I’m contemplating to sell this and go with regular versions. But I really love the souple leather, it’s very scratch resistant and feels lux. Any recommendation pls? Should I go for the regular smooth or grained version?
