For what it's worth, I got a shopper from Saks recently and ended up with 2 initially. The lettering was slightly different on both bags. The letters were spaced differently and ever so slightly bigger on one. I was thinking they might have been from different seasons. I certainly hope a fake didn't make it into Sak's inventory. But inspecting everything else closely there was minimal difference. Maybe the color was off by a hair. Maybe.

Just thought it would be helpful to share.

Thank you for the info. I have seen different variations on the stamp and also the back pocket (the one where the Saint Laurent label was on) so they might change things slightly between seasons. Everything about the bag told me it’s authentic, just that stamping on the second compartment makes me want to double check.

No problem. And for more info, I also realized the straps were slightly thicker and a hair wider on one of the bags. I wonder if they change specs between runs or if it's just about the materials they get on that round. I don't blame you for checking, I'm the same way!

Oh that’s interesting. I’ve only seen variations with the designs between seasons before but that’s good to know. I’m planning to go into the store to check it out myself and if I’m not convinced, I’ll send it back and get one off Saks (they’re running the gift cards promo again).

This is a close up on the hardware on my bag. My medium sunset is the crocodile with polished gold hardware. Is your hardware supposed to be antiqued or brushed? Maybe that is why there is the dark marks around the screws.

I am so torn between black croc and smooth leather! I do prefer the antique gold though - does the croc version only feature polished gold?

Hi ladies! I've been researching YSL bags and lurking on this forum endlessly for the past month since I'm about to make my first purchase :yahoo:

I'm stuck between the medium envelope and medium sunset - I love the structure of them and the exterior back pocket and strap versatility are key features for me. These are color options I'm debating:
Black envelope, GHW
Black croc sunset, GHW
Black smooth sunset, GHW

Does anyone have feedback on the differences in hardware between those designs? I prefer a more brushed/antique look and the envelope chain is a touch too shiny for my liking, but I haven't been able to check out the sunset in person yet. All the YouTube reviews state that the interior of the sunset is hard to work with too, do you guys also find that to be the case?
I'm looking for a bag with a little bit of edginess that can transition from everyday to dressy while still being able to travel with it (I'm demanding a lot from it, I know haha). The Chanel Boy is my dream bag but I can't bring myself to swallow its price tag, so I'm looking for options within YSL. I don't carry much with me on a daily basis - phone, YSL zipper card case, fenty gloss, and key fob.

Thoughts, anyone? :)

I have seen the crocodile in the polished gold hardware, black hardware and silver hardware. However, I have never seen it with the antique hardware.

I thought a long time about my sunset purchase and briefly thought about the envelope style but determined it was too small.
I really like my Sunset bag. I dont think it is difficult to use or get in and out of but I do not use it as an all day everyday on the go kind of bag. If you don't carry a lot with you though this might be fine.

The moc croc is my absolutely favorite. I think it gives a more edgy look. Regardless the Sunset bag has a pretty timeless classic look to it so you will be happy with it for years.

Thank you for the input! The moc croc definitely gives the sophisticated look more character. After all the research, I'm pretty set on the sunset now :)

So I ordered a bag off a department store for a peace of mind and they both look identical, except for the stamping and the strap on one was a hair longer like you mentioned. One bag was made in Jan 2019 while the other one was Dec 2019 so may be they are cutting cost lol? Anyway now I have a new issue, I want to keep them both!

Missed the picture. Are they different colors? I ended up keeping the one with the thinner straps because it was slightly more symmetrical. And the stamp was also a little bolder. I have seen bags where the measurements are significantly different, like one where the depth was 1/2 inch off. I'm glad I was able to compare on that one because the mistake would not have been in my favor. But now you can relax and enjoy at least one of them!
