...some pics and more details on my sahara beige medium

I had originally eyed this color in the small Sulpice, but opted against it for other reasons (ended up getting a much different Sulpice in the end).

For those wondering about sizing, the below pic is a comparison to a more classic style.... medium Kate

It's a slightly longer than the Kate, but they're technically the same depth and height (though the Kate has less of a gap at the top). For perspective, the pic below has a few bare essentials, including a SDJ card case, soft sunglass case, small umbrella, mints, keys and other odds and ends, with room to spare.

A nice neutral for me that compliments light, medium and dark colors. Of course, I won't wear it rubbing up against dark denim....but otherwise think it'll be fine given I've Collonil-ed it as usual.

I've also been eyeing the green patchwork version (as none of the other dark green bags I tried this season ultimately worked out)....but, have been awaiting a further markdown that seems to have come......will find out soon if it's still available .

The Sahara Beige is absolutely beautiful. What a gorgeous neutral and goes well with the gold hardware.

Does anyone know when the Jamie was released? I saw one online secondhand with a price that seems a little too good to be true. She said she bought the bag in Paris in January 2018. Was the bag already released in January 2018?

Very interseting bag

I absolutely love this babe , the shape is very elegant and it feels amazing so soft. Yes it may scratch but I’m hoping it will still look lovely in time

Beautiful! I like the proportions of this size Jamie and the quilting pattern is just so cool! Congratulations

I have one too and

I am not 100% sure but I first saw pictures of it on YSL ad campaigns it was around March 2018.

I have one too and it’s just gorgeous . The medium is a perfect size and pleased to hear that it’s not too delicate that it can’t be worn on a daily basis - would hate to only be able to use on special occasions

Does anyone have a picture of the Jamie bag that is well used as I am concerned about how it will look in a years time

Actually saw this at the boutique the other day and I was quite surprised how nice it looked in person. It didn't catch my eye online but it sure did in person. I may go back to look at it again.

It really is beautiful. I didn't really think much of it at first, but when i saw and tried it on in store i loved it. It is classic YSL with amazing lambskin leather, so luxurious.

The bag is relatively new so not that many on the resale market. However the ones I've seen on the pre-loved market are selling for close to the retail price. I think the Jamie is a bag for someone who appreciates lambskin leather and how it ages over time. It is so buttery soft, supple and reminds me of vintage bags.

Just wanted to add my medium Jamie bag! It's an incredible bag, esp at this price point. The lambskin is so soft and luxurious!

This season the Jamie bag comes in a distressed crinkled leather. This is the dark chestnut colour. Photo credit FWRD and Net a Porter.

@Miss World I seem to remember that you purchased the Medium Jamie in Black, can you please share as to how it's holding up? I saw it in the sale recently for 40% off and am seriously considering it, but am afraid of the wear and tear on the soft lamb, and also its lack of structure. Grateful if you could provide some insights!
