I don't think so. I believe this is around what the European pricing was sometime around 2020. I could be wrong though. It's very possible that they reduced their price momentarily or they did sell it at that price point. I think it was earlier this year or maybe late last year 2021 that I saw the medium black on black puffer suddenly appear at about $1,900 on I think Neiman Marcus and I was like it has to be a mistake and actually a different size or an returned one in possibly bad condition. I hemmed and hawed about buying it it for a while and then it was gone. I am pretty sure it was NM because I remember "curbside pickup" was an option. I should have purchased it and gone to pick up in store to inspect but I kept thinking with "curbside pickup" I would have to CONVINCE the person bringing it to my car that they need to STAY and WATCH me open the package and inspect the item so they knew I didn't do a swap-a-roo if the item was an abused return or the wrong size and have them vouch for me if that was the case. LOL! I don't know why I didn't think about going in store to pick it up!

I have been thinking about dipping my toe in the YSL handbag pond for some time and thought this might be a good first bag to see whether I like or not the brand/features/quality before going all in. I managed to purchase at the NM $2150 price + 15% rakuten rebate. Went with black SHW.

I indicated store pick-up so will go in store to see condition and whether a keeper or not. Store P/U is def the way to go for online purchases (if possible) to inspect for damage and verify dimensions and correct product- esp. for a newb like me. Hopefully it is a keeper- I see the bag is indicating sold out online. And my order on the NM website shows processing so it may get cancelled.

I purchased a Saint Laurent medium envelope bag with black hardware from Vitkac online in October. The first one that I received had two tiny tears in the leather. I reached out to CS and returned. No issues and received refund within a few days. I couldn’t exchange so I reordered. The second bag was pristine. Both came with dust bag, authenticity card, etc.
I paid about $1700 USD with tax and duties included after using 10% discount for first in-app purchase. (bag is currently $3050 before tax/shipping here in the US) Shipped via UPS and arrived within 2-3 days with signature required.
I opened a chat with Saint Laurent through their US website before ordering and asked if Vitkac was an authorized retailer of their handbags in Poland and they confirmed. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! That’s very helpful! Was the tax and duties all included in the price shown on their site? Also when you returned the first bag, did they give you a full refund / did you have to pay for return shipping or was any of the original tax and duties not refunded? I read on Selfridges site that taxes and duties paid aren’t refunded so just want to make sure.

Yes, tax and duties were included in the price on the site.
I received a full refund for 100% of what I paid. That being said, I am not sure if that is because the bag was essentially defective due to the tears. I sent photos over before returning and was also within the return window.

Yay! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm excited for you! I love the puffer above all the other YSL bag styles. I'm also loulou crazy but the puffer is just so light, comfortable and effortless. The black is the softest of all of the colors and just sooo delicious! I hope yours arrives in perfect condition and that you love it!

They are back in stock- both white and black. Not sure what to make of the price. There is a Lou Lou medium camera bag that also seems to have old pricing?

I'm thinking the pricing is an error. I have a theory about it but would have no way to figure out if I am right about it. Good news that it's back in stock though! And if somebody wants that camera bag!

Haha - you are welcome! It was the last one in stock then and I had already missed out previously on another one in the color I liked, waited for a while for it to re-stock, and decide to hope for the best! Keep us updated on what you decide!

There're only black Niki bags left!!!
I'm thinking to get grey 'color: Storm' (no stock right now!)
So yours is black?

Does anyone know if the products Vitkac carries are authentic or have had any experience with them?

I think they're authentic because Vitkac is a large department store with a lot of shops in Poland

I'm excited for you!!! I think mine was next day because I ordered before the Black Friday rush and I suspect it was shipped from somewhere in CA. I could tell mine was a return after I opened the bag but I'm still happy with it. Hopefully all of the returned bag have been picked up by people and your bag is so new and perfect that you do a happy dance after inspection! I really am excited for you!!!
Side note, looks like that camera bag deal you spotted got sold out! I wonder if it was somebody on PF. Lol, not me, not me!

OMG! USA. NM has the small puffer in black or white with silver hardware for $2,150! Rakuten is 15%!!! It is the small size and not the toy. I made the sacrifice and verified.

I recommend doing in store pickup so you can inspect the bag on front of them and no issues with returns.

Thank you very much for posting this! :hugs:
I can’t believe I was able to get the Puffer for such a great price! I followed your advice to do the store pickup and checked the bag thoroughly before I brought her home. I finally own my first Saint Laurent bag and she is perfect!!! :yahoo::panic::love:

Yay!!! I'm so happy for you! The small puffer is my favorite of all YSL bags! After I picked up my bag and saw that the deal was real I had to share with PF for other people to experience joy like yours!
