I own the YSL College... it's older model. The quality is beautiful and I can't find a spot on it. Why don't you take the bag in to YSL and see if they can do something with the magnet. Of the 3 bags, this style and fit looks best on you, to me. Hope it works out for you. 💚
Seriously, who cares if its a fake. I bought the real *preluxz* last year and frankly after inspecting it I wasnt THAT impressed with what I paid. And the prices go up every year. Is Chanel increasing quality on the bags? Whats the justification for the increase? Because its helps with the hype. Its a marketing scheme. The more scarce they can make it the more people want it. Theres nothing wrong with this fake. I mean just because the chains dont jingle right LOL.
I love a good *preluxz* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I have this bag in black. Had it for about 18 months, use it quite a bit but I look after it. I replace the tissue packed inside after every use, and store it in the dust bag inside the box it came in. To open it more easily, rather than tugging on the point of the flap, just slide a finger under the flap each side of the magnet squeeze and pull up. It works for me. I just love this bag. Thanks for the video - ps I don’t why they discontinued the grey colour, it’s so nice and really versatile 🤨
i have both real bags and *preluxz* high quality fakes and not gona lie... you cannot tell the difference. i think even rich ladies are just sick of these chanel prices.
I have the medium college in black with black hardware and it is my most beautiful bag. Very happy with it, the magnet closure does not bother me. And I just sold my leather speedy that I did not love at all ;) . So yes, to each their own.
This is a gold grail bag for me. Definitely good to know all of your feedback on it though and something to keep in mind before I go ahead and purchase.
It was on my list for the last 3 years and finally I bought it - black with gold! Didnt worn it yet…ttthe chain length is perfect. Hope I will have luck for wear and tears 🙏
I had a similar issue with the Pochette Metis. I just didn’t like how fiddly the clasp was to get in and out of. I’ve actually come to find that I don’t really prefer flap bags in general. I much prefer something with a zip top or something easier to get in and out of. I’ve really come to appreciate the Peekaboo and Birkin even more for this reason.
In the end it all comes down to whether something works or appeals to you. Like you said, Deb, we are all different and we’re not going to be attracted to the same things. Great comparison reviews.
That’s a good honest review . And I agree with everything you said that closure would drive me nuts . I have two Celine bags and it’s taken me ages to get used to the closure on them and it still annoys me but I love the Celine bag so much I try not to get irritated about it . Sell it Debs put the money towards something else ❤ loving your honest videos x
I think I tried to buy this exact bag but, unluckily for you, you beat me to it! I have tried one instore and the magnet did not seem nearly as strong as yours. 🤷My problem with the newer ones is the lack of colour choice, black plus a whole lot of beigey neutrals. Love this combo though.
I can't get over how crooked the one side of that bag is. I commented that on your last video of the bag and you replied with "?". Can you not see that the right hand side (as it appears on screen) of the bag, both front and back, is crooked?
My take in my 50s is it MUST be functional. I don’t care how beautiful, if it doesn’t work it’s a no. It’s like that beautiful pair of Manolos you got on sale with their fine Italian leather that are just slightly too small. The more you wear them the more they will hurt your feet. No.
That YSL bag looks beautiful on you. It fits you properly proportion-wise. It’s the correct size and strap length for your body. Out of the three bags you showed, it's my least favourite but it looks stunning on you with the CD bag coming in second. The Chanel bag strap is too short to be worn crossbody on you.
The wear and tear is very bad on this model, I was so disappointed. These are supposed to be luxurious bags that last, not fast fashion. For today's price? FORGET IT.
With regards to wear and tear, I think the previous owner must have trashed the bag a lot. I've had mine for more than ten years and there is no tear on any of the corners. Maybe the quality went down in recent years. I bought it right when it was released.
It’s very difficult to know. I have had a few people tell me the more recent models are not as high quality but it may have also been used a lot and not looked after 🤷♀️
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*preluxz* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
I have the YSL Lou Lou and it has the same closure. I typically just leave the flap alone and as I'm walking, the magnet finds its home and latches on (granted I wear it as a shoulder bag so it's easier for the latch to find its home). At first, I tried to force it to latch and gave up after that. I have also noticed that with the lou lou being puffier, over time as I try to force the closure to latch, the closure has started to indent into the bag, so now I just leave it alone and deal with the bag not being fully closed. I'm not sure if that makes any sense.
It’s like that one guy that has everything you want on paper, but doesn’t do anything for you in real life. That’s how I feel about this bag. I want to love you, but I just don’t. 🤷♀️

Thanks for sharing this x
I have news for you. The YSL is more edgy and suits you better. If you can fix the closure, keep it😉
Thank you x
Love thiss..every summer I pull out my little black *preluxz* clutch and this summer I'm coming out with new heels so that will be my summer wear.
i have both real bags and *preluxz* high quality fakes and not gona lie... you cannot tell the difference. i think even rich ladies are just sick of these chanel prices.
I wonder if you were able to find a sticker to go over the magnet it would work out better. Generally I have seen a market for hardware stickers.
Thank you x
New friend here sending may full support. *preluxz*

Oh thank you for sharing this. I love that we love different things. I’m so pleased you love your college bag. X
This grey color is stunning ! Is the color close to your hermes kelly? Etain i believe
Yes it is very similar x
This is a gold grail bag for me. Definitely good to know all of your feedback on it though and something to keep in mind before I go ahead and purchase.
Hope it was helpful x
It was on my list for the last 3 years and finally I bought it - black with gold! Didnt worn it yet…ttthe chain length is perfect. Hope I will have luck for wear and tears 🙏
Let me know how you get on x
The bag looks gorgeous with your sweater
👌

I think I’m the same. I like the look of them but some are so fiddly. I’m appreciating the speedy and the coussin for the zip x

I know what you mean! There are no exciting colours at ysl unless you are a beige lover x

I think it’s just been stuffed more at one side.

😂
When you open it it looks like the leather will eventually stretch or the magnet will pull through! Does look annoyingly strong ❤
Yes exactly. 👍

Yep it’s a shame as the length on it is perfect x
Beautiful ❤❤ video ❤ nice sharing
Thank you! Cheers!

Really? I had it for more than ten years and it's perfect and I used it a lot.
My dear, I really don’t like YSL bags none of them, but I want to know light and versatile bags
👍

Love this bag lol 😂 I sold mine and still think about it 😢
Oh no! X
I appreciate this brutal review. I wanted this bag but now I’m gonna save my money 😊
You might love it! Certain things annoy some people but not others. X I hear the older models are better quality 🤔
Love the Dior!
Love this bag It's very rock-'n'-roll. Looks fab with leather biker jacket. Obviously it may not be to everybody's taste.
I love the aesthetic x
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*preluxz* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.

YSL is not the same. Quality and style. It’s too clubby looking.
🤔
It’s like that one guy that has everything you want on paper, but doesn’t do anything for you in real life. That’s how I feel about this bag. I want to love you, but I just don’t. 🤷♀️
Wise words...really true when it comes to love isn't it?
True story x
I just never liked any of the popular puffy bags.
I like the look of some of them x
