Hi! Could someone post a photo of how the wear looks like on the envelope on black? I’m debating on the black and dark beige.
I actually have it n black and used to have beige at some point , sold the beige because of wear and tear in the edges , I think it’s inevitable and by deep inspection i can see it n the black too but hardly noticeable even if u look closely on the contrary of the biege which was obvious I think the wear in tear n the beige one would be more obvious so I recommend the black one rather than the beige because of this
Good luck n ur choice though

Thank you! That helps a lot! Would you still recommend buying the black? Are you happy with the bag?
 
I purchased the medium envelope in black with silver hardware. Does anyone know if there’s some kind of serial number or authenticity stamp, and where is it located in the purse?? I bought it from Bergdorf Goodman and just yesterday saw a thread about someone complaining that they got a fake designer bag from BG...now I’m worried! I tried to “self authenticate” everything else visual (the stitching, hardware, logo, the black/white card, the dust bag, etc) just can’t find info on whether there’s a serial number (like a date stamp on a Louis Vuitton). The nearest boutique is quite far from me, so trying this first. Thanks for any tip!
 
For those who have the medium envelope bag. How is the quality holding up so far? I am looking into getting the beige one. I am also torn between medium or large. I have went back and read the posts but still cannot decide what bag to get. This is what I usually carry:
Mini pochette
Chanel card flap holder
LV 6 key
LV Key Cles
A small makeup pouch from MAC
sunglasses (usually I leave them in the car but sometimes do need to put in my bag)
Phone
The large one looks big and bulky to me. Almost looks like a brief case but I am big girl (US size 10-12 and 5 4). Any thoughts? TIA!

I have the medium and didn’t like the bulk of the large. The medium would probably fit all those items in but you may have to compromise on mini pochette or makeup pouch as I don’t think both would work. It’s a very structured bag.

I am 5'7 yet I find the large too boxy for my slim frame.

Thank you both for your responses! I think I can get away with the makeup pouch. I went ahead and got the medium size.
 
Hello! I recently purchased a black with silver hardware medium envelope myself after reading through everyone’s posts—super helpful! Upon inspection when I got home I noticed a fraying stitch on the side of the bag and on one of the leather handles. Is that normal? Will it get worse over time? Would you bring it back and exchanged for another one? Or am I just being overly picky? This is my first YSL purse. Any help is appreciated!

I have the medium in dark beige, and other than the wear on the glazing of the envelope point, I still love my bag.
I also wouldn't recommend the large. I tried it, and it looked bulky and weird, and I'm not even that small (5'6", athletic build).

Since the bag is structured, I'm not sure if it will a makeup pouch, sunglasses, and a mini pochette, especially if you have a sunglass case. You might have to sacrifice one of them. Although I've never actually tried to stuff my bag, so it may fit.
I usually only carry my LV6 Key holder, a few masks, hand sanitizer, phone, and sunglasses (no case), and I still have decent room left.

Thank you so much! I actually returned it :( It was too small for me and not being able to fit both makeup pouch and mini pochette is a deal breaker for me as I tend to carry them both usually and also a lot more. I agree about the bigger one although I tried it in the store and it didnt look that big TBH. But I was wearing a coat. I am sure it will look big/bulky without a coat.
