Would you mind if you take some mod shots with the carry all?
Hi. So I double check my bigger SDJ to make sure it is the carry all version. When I looked at the papers it only says large, it didn’t have the word carry all (I thought it was the carry all because it is the largest one that they have when I bought it). Hopefully the other ladies can chime in regarding the difference between the large vs carry-all. I took these pictures just in case you still want to see. Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you very much for you time! It seems it's the same thing. thats probably the best size for me. thank you again!
I have the men's structured one and I think it's the same size as the one posted by @micahanne . I don't think it will look too large on you based on your height, and it comes with a wide strap which is important for when I don't want to hand-carry the bag. I think you should get the men's one.Thank you very much for you time! It seems it's the same thing. thats probably the best size for me. thank you again!
Thank you! I’m still looking up. There’s only one boutique here in Brazil and last time I went there they only had non structured one. I’m traveling to Europe soon so I’ll be able to test and check other sizes in real life.
You inspired me to wear my Sac de Jour today, and my Saint Laurent Wyatt boots. Here is the men's size, shown hand-held with the strap tucked into the bag, worn with the strap, and with the strap placed at the front. I think the size is perfect.
So dapper! [emoji7][emoji178][emoji179][emoji102]
What is everyone's opinion on the longevity of the Sac De Jour? Is it a classic? I LOVE mine and personally think that it is. I like it enough that I'm thinking of getting another one -- but given the price, I try to only buy classic bags that won't look dated in a few years. To me, the Sac De Jour is one of those timeless bags -- but I'm hoping I'm right.
The shape and design is so classic - there really is nothing about it that dates it to this time!
Looking very cool!!
I understand what you mean. I don't want to buy a bag that looks dated the next season, because these bags are pricey and I want more mileage out of what I pay for.
As @bellebellebelle19 said, there is nothing about the bag that makes it look dated easily. It doesn't have bulky hardware (in fact, hardly any at all). It doesn't have huge logos. It looks a bit like the Birkin without the flap, so it can ride on the success of the Birkin's perceived timelessness. And it looks so nice. It's one of my favourite bags in my collection. It has such clean lines. So I think it shouldn't look dated even if YSL discontinues the bag completely, at least to people who don't know much about the bag. The fashionistas may know, but to others, it just looks like a nice modern bag.
Sometimes when considering the "timelessness" of a bag, we forget to consider if our own love of the bag will be timeless. Bags like the Birkin, Kelly, and Chanel Re-issue are considered timeless (so long as the brands try hard to maintain a perceived air of timelessness for these bags), but the people who buy them may end up falling out of love with these, which is one reason why some end up on resale.
So I suggest getting the Sac de Jour if you love it. It may be discontinued someday, but that may be after you fall out of love with it, or after the bag has had so much wear and tear that it is time to retire it.

I have a white SDJ but it’s not the souple version. It’s a smooth leather and very easy to wipe clean so I’ve had no issues with color transfer.
Thank you! It’s really a great bag and has worn very well.
I’m really not sure if it’s available but don’t think so. I’ve had it for 3 years.
