Thank you so much. Did your Envelope bag from Vitkac come in a SL box or a Vitkac box?

I may consider paying for the bag to be authenticated. Just to be on the safe side. As you can see, I am very paranoid about being sold a knock-off!

Edit: the interior stamping of my bag seems legit.
I recently purchased SL bags from both Ssense and Fwrd and they didn’t come in SL boxes. I believe you only get the box if you order directly from SL, or if it’s an SLG. Congrats on your new bag!!
Hello,

Yes, my purse from Vitcak was delivered in a Vitkac box tied with ribbon. Generally, I have only experienced and seen items sent in SL boxes when the bag is purchased directly from SL or the item is a SLG.

fwiw in the last 2 months I’ve purchased YSL bags from Neiman, Bergdorf, and Vitkac and they all came in the black YSL box. Maybe I got lucky? They were all the mini camera bag too (just different colors).

Usually mini bags and SLGs come with a YSL box. I purchased a toy loulou, and it came with a box. All my other YSl purchases did not (loulou, envelope, Lou camera), because I didn’t purchase directly from YSL.
 
Saks Off 5the has a few Kate bags on sale
This is almost 5 months and extremely overdue but wanted to say thank you for your post! I had the Kate in GHW on my wishlist for awhile but was waiting for a department store to have a % or $ off sale before purchasing (vs the GC events). But back in February I saw your post and ordered the bag from Saks Off 5th that same day, unsure what kind of condition I’d be receiving (if it was a return or had a defect since it was coming from Off 5th, etc). As luck would have it the bag arrived in immaculate condition IN A YSL BOX which we all know isn’t a given unless you buy from the boutique directly, the chains were wrapped and there was a hardware protector on the front logo. The bag was completely untouched, brand new and not a single flaw or imperfection. To make things even better, the bag was 22% off retail and I got another 10% off on top for buying through the Saks app… with tax I paid $1,500 (vs $1,990 for what it retailed at the time and $2,190 for what it retails today). It was a great find and all the more reason I love this forum and purse loving friends!

Wow that's good to know. I would love a Kate in beige color!
 
I don’t know about Farfetch. I ordered twice from them using the discount promotion codes for first time buyer. First time a YSL Envelope Monogram Quilted Clutch and the last time, a YSL Monogram Matelassé Clutch and received both items defective. Their return process was good, I received my refunds within 3-4 days after the packages was delivered. During my last purchase, I was offered a new discount promotion code which will be sent in a separate email so I can repurchase my item since they don’t offer exchanges. I never receive that email. I emailed their customer services twice to check on the status and got no response and email in return. They just totally ignored me. I don’t think I will buy anything from them anymore. Not worth the headache. Just wanted to share my experiences.
