Saint Laurent Sac De Jour...

@averagejoe Do you have any mod shots of the SDJs? I think you are roughly the same size as me, and i think the men's SDJs might be slightly too big...and too heavy (they are lined in thick leather, yes?)
I posted this in this thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/guys-and-their-bags-mod-shots-please.1017386/page-6

But here it is again. Since it's head to toe Saint Laurent, I guess it's appropriate to share it here too.

The men's Sac de Jour is not too big at all. I really like the size. I'm 5' 8" (173 cm). I absolutely love this bag. My only criticism is the way the strap is attached. The structured Sac de Jour has the strap attached to the base of the handles inside the bag with with small lobster clasps on very small D-rings, which is a bit awkward compared to the more superior attachment location for the Sac de Jour Souple and duffel.

Here I am with the same bag with a different pair of SLP Wyatt boots and SLP jacket (shared earlier on the Dudes and their Diors thread):

It is on the heavier side, but I actually don't mind heavy bags. The only problem now is that with all the hand-sanitizing, I'm so afraid of getting the sanitizer on the handles, so I always wear the bag with the shoulder strap when I walk into a store and am required to sanitize my hands again. I like how the bag looks when hand-carried much more than when worn over the shoulder. At least it has that option, especially during this pandemic.

Here are photos from 2019 that I shared previously here in the YSL forum, showing how it looks without the strap, when worn with the strap, and with the strap attached:

I also posted this in the same thread before, with my Sac de Jour 48 hr duffel. Also wearing SLP Wyatt boots and SLP L17 leather biker:

Hello everyone, I hope this thread is still active! I’m looking for advise on SDJ models as I’m buying my wife one for a gift. I was looking for the small size (width 32cm-12.5in) preferably in black and ended up buying one from net-a-porter. Unfortunately, where we are based at the moment the official ysl website does not deliver and also I could find very limited options there. The price on net was very good (I think), so I ended up buying there.

After the purchase and doing more research and mainly finding this forum, I realised that the model I purchased was the souple in black grained leather (photos from the website attached below). As I learned from here, this is a model that released in 2017. Possibly stupid question but does this mean that the one I purchased was actually produced three years ago? Or do they still produce new pieces of this style? Also, net-a-porter seems legit and they only sell new items, correct? Thank you all!

Hi i don't know if anyone replied to you, but yes that is the Saint Laurent Sac De Jour in Souple leather (supple leather). It is grained and durable leather and is not as stiff at the original SDJ. I think it is an amazing classic choice, i hope your wife like it :)

Has anyone seen in person new croc matte version of SDJ with bronze hardware? what is your opinion in comparison to shiny croc?
It’s actually doesn’t look that matte on the pic..
I would really like to see it in person before ordering, but unfortunately there are none in Australia.

This matte croc embossed SDJ is on my wishlist. I haven't seen it in real life yet but i believe it should be in stock in Australia now. I think it's absolutely stunning but i can't decide if i'd want nano, baby or Small.

I can answer this. I went to the outlet at Woodbury on Nov 5th and saw many SDJs. Three souples in small I think, and then nano and baby too but I didn't pay much heed to the nano or baby because they were too small for me. Here are the two I was considering, but won't get them probably because the strap is way too thin that it digs into my shoulder when I wear it. I have the SA's info I think, if you want it. In general everything at the outlet was 1/3 off MSRP.
The dark blue souple is gorgeous!

Has anyone seen this woven one in person? It’s really making me want a sac du hour...View attachment 4901518
Absolutely stunning details in this bag, love it!
 
Looking to buy a preloved SDJ nano in pebbles/grain leather. Does anyone know *where* the authentication code is supposed to be located on the real bags?

I understand there’s no authentication service available but hoping SDJ nano owners can at least tell me this info!
