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.
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.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).
I’ve read that they were no longer going to have the sale. So, there are a few department stores that still allow discounts on ysl. That may be the only way to get them at reduced prices…What happened to the sale this year? Even for private clients at Farfetch, Saint Laurent has been excluded from the regular sale and private 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!Saks Off 5the has a few Kate bags on sale

Maybe it’s a leftover item from a previous collection at an older price? I’ve seen than happen before.Hello, this seems too good to be true. Does anyone know why the farfetch price would be so much less than on the YSL site (2990)?
That makes sense. I’m new to Farfetch so my biggest concern was that it’s not authentic. Thanks!Maybe it’s a leftover item from a previous collection at an older price? I’ve seen than happen before.
SSENSE tends to have items from previous collections at older prices all the time.
I've ordered from Farfetch with no problems. The bag was shipped directly from SL.That makes sense. I’m new to Farfetch so my biggest concern was that it’s not authentic. Thanks!
