The Saint Laurent YSL College Bag Thread

[yellowjellybaby]

I hope so too... Feeling nervous now. I hope the guy doesn't stuff up my chain. Will post a mods photo if everything goes well [emoji1317]

My bag came with a long strap too, which is far too long on me as I'm only 156cm. Out of interest idbib, how many links did you get taken off each side? I was thinking maybe 4 from each side would be good.

Having said that, I've been to about 3 locksmith / shoe repair type places and each one has refused to adjust the length for me as the links have been welded and they don't have the tools to break this apart...

I think I'll need to find a metal specialist or something, does anyone have any ideas?? I live in London by the way.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for delayed reply. No the itself is not heavy and the chain is lighter in comparison to Chanel boy chain.

Hi little_j
I paid $2340.
You have to keep checking Reebonz website for the college bag.
I saw they had the large college bag @ $2690 last Friday.

Thank you for the reply! Bummer missed out on the large! I will keep stalking the website

How did the shortening of the chain go?

 

[little_j]

Does anyone know if the college bags seasonal or are they part of the permanent collection?

Meanwhile I'm debating between brushed gold or silver hardware. I actually just want the bag to match with my soon to purchase chloe susanna boots. I'm leaning more towards the brushed gold because I already have an antigona with silver hardware. My first world struggles of choosing which color hardware haha!

Thanks for your reply mdlchic77!

I decided to bite the bullet and shorten the strap by 10cm [emoji85].
The locksmith/shoe repairer charged me $15.

Fingers cross everything goes well. I'll be collecting the strap tomorrow. [emoji16]

No problem, that's awesome to hear! Definitely post new mod pics!

Hi everyone! [emoji847]
I just received my college bag in medium size however I find that the strap is too long for me (I'm 159cm). I checked NAP's archive images and noticed that the strap was shorter (101cm).
I measured my strap and it was close to 110cm
Did anyone have the same experience like me?
Did YSL change the strap length?

Pretty! Is this amarante or burgundy or Bordeaux? I was at Saks when I discovered a color called amarante on the tag that's nowhere to be found online. I wondered if the markets used different names for the same color...?

Hi, I just checked the card for my bag and the color is amaranto.
