With this same bag, i had the same problem that occurred within two months when I did not even use the bag. The same problen occurred to my sister's ysl envelope small woc. The store gave me a store credit but not to my sister. Their after service wasnt consistent and rude about it. I am never going back to YSL even for other models.
Thank you for making this video. I was always curious how the YSL WOC compared to the Chanel WOC. I would like to see more handbag videos! However, I do like your Chanel makeup videos, too!
For the Chanel WOC you could take out the metal ending part of the zipper and replace it with a very thin satin string so that you could still use it as a zipper pocket if needed, but you would never again damage your WOC. Thank you for this great review :) 😘
You are one of the few people that mentioned the coating of the YSL wallet and it becoming sticky and tacky. I bought the small envelope wallet and used it for 4.5 years daily. After the second year, especially here in our hot California summers, the wallet had become so so sticky and tacky. I even sent it to the leather surgeons and though they worked on it, it still came back gummy. I guess there is no fixing it. Awesome review btw, and I am looking to getting the classic flap. Hopefully the leather won’t become gross like my YSL did.
Tip: If you open de zipper A little bit (as much as the length of the zippertab) it will sit in the line, i think this will help 😊 i do this with my classic flap to preventie an indent Great video!
You are a beauty / luxury item influencer on UA-cam. I highly suggest you write to YSL and include detailed pictures, as well as a picture of the receipt, and a bulleted list of concerns with a brief summary of each bullet point. Pictures of your managers bag (if she is willing) , will substantiate your findings.
So excited for u to branch out into handbag videos! I'm a handbag enthusiast myself and these videos are perfect for u with how u showcase and explain pros and cons + such a great attention to details which i appreciate.
Girl! Thanks for this video. I was thinking of just getting the YSL instead of Chanel because I thought its a steal but you changed my mind. Thanks for saving me. More video pls
Hi Andrea, I'm currently shopping for a woc and found this video extremely helpful. I initially contemplated splurging on the chanel but was concerned if it was too delicate for daily use, particularly wear and tear on the intertwined leather on the strap. I imagined the ysl would be more robust, until you revealed the opposite is true! Is the chanel still your best recommendation or you have encountered more options today? I am looking for something that can withstand daily use, and not just for evenings out. I appreciate your advice 😀
Hi girl new subscriber here from the UK. I love your channel and I love Chanel too. Been thinking of getting a WOC myself, I’m more drowned towards the classic style, do you know if that one has a magnetic closure too?
Heyyy! Love your review :) it’s really helpful! I sooo in love with the Chanel WOC. May I check the price you got it in Europe ? I’m making a little comparison in the price so I’ll know if it’s worth getting there :) Thank u in advance
It's true. It happened to my YSL WOC. I had to take it back to Saks Fifth (after owning it for 7 months, but only had 2-3 uses), they offered me an exchange. I love the bag, but super disappointed with the quality. Keep your receipt!!!
wow such a great point you raised! i was thinking about getting the ysl as a 'backup woc' for my chanel one, but the 'sticky leather' comment after the coating has worn off is disturbing... definitely rethinking this one, unless they've changed this since a year ago when this video came out... :S
Thank you so much for being so honest! I was considering to purchase the YSL WOC but now that I know the truth about the bag, I'm going to find something different. I might even look into the Chanel WOC. Great video!
Hmm...on my second Coach wrislet now. Brand new and been using for less than six months. Same issue is occurring as my last brown Coach wristlet; the edges of my brown leather is turning red🤔
Thank you for the vid and thank god I did not purchase the ysl bag I got a Givenchy pandora wallet on chain, my chain broke once within the first week(I believe the girl gave me the sample cuz the logo was dusty), lol, and I got an exchange for that after I mailed their head office here in Australia. It’s great goat skin, wears beautifully, however the chain starts to wear and I haven’t even got it for a year😩
Haha I always carry a pad in it and some receipts and bigger notes. It's very private and surprisingly doesn't take up the space in the front compartments. If I do the same with other wocs this would take up too much space.

Try pushing the leather tab into the zip compartment itself.. will help preventing it from stabbing the leather on the other side.

the boy woc is really nice, i wish there was a way to minimize the bowing on the woc bc its quite noticeable here too

For the Chanel -U can tuck the zipper pull of that top little pocket inside the pocket. I’ve seen it done on the purseforum
Congratulations on your new addition to your collection. Your review was informative. Looking forward to more handbag-oriented videos!
That’s so unfortunate for the price of that bag! Do you think most ysl bags will have this issue since it all has this coating to some extent
Girl! Thanks for this video. I was thinking of just getting the YSL instead of Chanel because I thought its a steal but you changed my mind. Thanks for saving me. More video pls
Thanks for the detailed review Andrea! They both are adorable, how disappointing that the YSL is so flawed!
Nailed this video! Can’t wait to see more reviews! This video will allow me to walk into the boutique more educated, to make a more informed purchase!

Thank you for the comparison! I have the classic Chanel WOC and love it. More handbag videos please

Thank u in advance
I think it was around 1700 euros!
Why don’t you take the bag back to YSL? They have a two year warranty?
Omg, I just ordered the bag like 10 min ago. Nobody has mentioned about the coating!!! I’m going to cancel it!

Glad to have helped!
Can you remove the Chanel zipper tag or tape it down? Can you use colorless shoe polish on the YSL after the coating comes off?
Both of them are amazing 😍😍😍😍

Thank you for the vid and thank god I did not purchase the ysl bag

This was a great review, keep bag reviews coming please :)
Love this video! That Boy WOC is everything! But if I remember correctly, I kinda pushed you to get it lol
is there a way to make the bag less sticky?
Im so sad!!!! I wanted to get the ysl on my trip to Paris, but I guess it’s not worth it :( I’ve been watching your videos and I value your opinion!
Thank you so much for your comment! it honestly isn't worth it! I sold mine to reinvest in another piece.
Great reviews!
Can it be re-coated?
lol I actually use the secret pocket a lot!
Really?? What do you use it for?! I wanna know!!
Haha I always carry a pad in it and some receipts and bigger notes. It's very private and surprisingly doesn't take up the space in the front compartments. If I do the same with other wocs this would take up too much space.
Can you fit an iPhone 8plus into the Chanel?
Please do more handbag videos.
Have you reached out to YSL?
Handbag goals....dreams
