This is why I prefer long term reviews over initial unboxing videos because actually experiencing the bag in your day to day is more of a testament to whether it is a good purchase or not. Thanks for the video x
I have the same bag in black and due to the texture I find this bag as one of my most durable. I don’t need to baby it like my other bags. I certainly would not buy it in the lighter colors. Have had mine for a few years now and love it. I did spray a layer of leather protectant. Only regret I have is that I didn’t buy it with the silver hardware instead of the rustic gold.
I think the leather rubbing is definitely only an issue with the light colored one or a manufacturing issue. I have the same bag in black with gunmetal silver hardware and have none of the issues you've experienced (including the tarnishing).
I tried to get into YSL and it just wasn’t a wow factor for me… the purse nor the cardholder… it just felt flimsy and not substantial. Also I’ve seen several accounts talking about the leather and the metal on the bag..they are pretty …I will give them that but as a purse that will withstand the test of time… I don’t see that happening
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in LYXBAGS other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals..
I was so sad to see this video. I have a few videos on this bag on my UA-cam channel. My YSL medium college bag in the opium red is one of my favorites. The only wear and tear I have on mine is on the inside of the back pocket from me putting my phone in it. I feel like the cross body strap is short and I'm only 5'6. I am thicker then you so that might be why. I do agree that it's a small bag not a medium bag.
I have the same bag and have had the exact same issues, so its not just yours. I have only used my handbag a handful of times. I actually sent the bag back to YSL and their response was that it was general wear and tear and not a quality issue. It’s actually put me off the brand.
thank youuuuu for this video! i have never researched quality issues when shopping designer bags. very naive, but i just expected it at the price. to be fair, i have all LV so i've always been taken care of. i'm shocked at the tarnishing especially. so happy i knew before i purchased. i would have been so sad.
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in LYXBAG . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
When I saw this video I was like wooooooooooah! I remember when you bought it and how much you loved it. I’m glad you did this review though as now I know not to buy it! This is a great in-depth review. 👍🏾 To be honest, I know people say the Gucci Marmont style is over, but I still like it and still use my marmont items…
I really hope this video was helpful to those thinking of buying this bag. I love the way the bag looks but it's worn badly considering I hardly wear it and I've only had it a year. The Gucci bag is amazing quality, I love mine xx
I have this bag in dark beige and ysl puffer in blanc vintage and have the same issue with corner. Love love ysl but defnitely thinking light colors are not agging well at all
You’re still within warranty…maybe see what they can do for you and then sell it? And also, I agree YSL and Chanel are like comparing apples to oranges…there’s no comparison.
Wow! It might be with the light colour. I have this in black leather and the dark hardware and I have not experienced any of these. I think you should take it back, if you're within warranty.
I am thinking of getting this one too in black. Is it holding up well for you?? I was worried about the wear and tear and seeing this video made me nervous!
I got the black YSL grain de Poudre clutch I love it so much I brought YSL monogram quilted envelope clutch in cream white the leather is not the same doesn't feel as Lux it's was too stiff doesn't feel as soft maybe they have to use that type of leather to make all the chervon design...I was thinking about returning it but it looks so good in pictures so I kept it.
I'm sorry about your bag. I have the YSL Nikki Bag in the black Medium crinkled leather. It is beautiful edgy and I used it loads, took it on holiday , loved it to bits. It lasted one season. It got terrible, terrible corner wear, never seen before or after. It's also put me off YSL and I have 4 other YSL bags.
Ma’am, you saved me so much money with this review. I think it might be time for you to cut your losses and sell this one. I’m sorry that it doesn’t fit your lifestyle and that the quality isn’t there.
Sorry for your issues! I have two medium college bags. The grey khaki with gold hardware and the black suede with fringe and silver hardware. I have two because I absolutely love the look and style!! My leather is holding up well but of course the suede one is higher maintenance. My hardware is not tarnished at all on either but I will say the logo hardware does scratch pretty easily. My gray one has quite a few scratches on the logo (not noticeable unless you closely inspect) which made me super careful with the second one I got - which I carry a ton and has no scratches yet. Yes, it’s small but it taught me to be more of a minimalist! Overall for me, no regrets at all!
This was helpful. I am glad I didn’t purchase the YSL college bag. The medium was too small and the large didn’t have a crossbody strap. I own the YSL envelope bag in dark natural so I’m concerned that the same type of issues will occur with this bag. How long have you owned the YSL college bag?
Thank you for the video-you have saved me a lot of money! I love how it looks but sounds like it won’t hold up well over the long run. Plus it seems that nothing fits 😂☹️
Oh nooooooo!!! I’ve finally pulled the trigger and purchased the large envelope YSL bag in black w/gold hardware. Like u said, IT IS SOOO ANESTHETICALLY PLEASING! I sure hope I don’t experience any tarnishing problem EVER! At this price range, this shuld not be happening! So sorry to hear this. I guess I need to at least check the warranty policy now in case it happens later BUT IM NOT CLAIMING IT!😃
U shouldn't have issues with your black one. My black one is wearing much better than hers. Don't know about the hardware though since yours is also gold. Mine has the gunmetal hardware and no rust etc
I've heard the darker bags don't have any many issues as the light bags, also my bag has the antique gold hardware so the gold might wear better. Let me know how you get on xx
awwww no probably the light coloured bags hun, so sorry . You are looking extra gorgeous as always. Where did you get you wig hun, love the hair, kindly share 😚💗
#mirbags offers a wide variety of bags for different occasions, from elegant clutches to spacious totes. I've purchased multiple bags from them and have always been impressed with the quality and craftsmanship.

I agree, thank you x
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the HIDUPZ tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated!

Have had mine for a few years now and love it. I did spray a layer of leather protectant. Only regret I have is that I didn’t buy it with the silver hardware instead of the rustic gold.
So you recommend the silver hardware ? May i ask why ?
I think the leather rubbing is definitely only an issue with the light colored one or a manufacturing issue. I have the same bag in black with gunmetal silver hardware and have none of the issues you've experienced (including the tarnishing).
Same with mine. No issues at all with my black one with gunmetal hardware
I guess it must be just the light coloured bags which is a shame, thanks for sharing your experience x
@@JosephineBongani happens to my light coloured designer bags too! Avoid wearing it with dark color clothes
My sister has a black YSL bag with the grained leather and she experience the exact same within 7-8 months of having it!
Same with mine i have the large with black hardware and I'm loving it !

As a ysl lover and Chanel collector I think it’s unfair to compare this leather to Chanel’s lol.

I have not experienced any of those issues. I would take it to the boutique.
I’ve contacted YSL, hopefully they can repair the bag x

I have a classic Chanel bag that is lamb skin and color transfers with dark denim and scratches easily.

Ho la stessa borsa in grigio marrone e non ho riscontrato problemi, la trovo comoda resistente e molto versatile ❤
As a ysl lover, not all their bags are good. Most are terrible . The mini lou is the strongest I have seen.
Really? I have it so I am glad to read that. How about the puffer one?
I completely disagree. I find the quality of the YSL bags excellent for the price point. I have a fair few and not one of them has an issue.
SAME PROBLEM FOR ME IN BLACK. Going to resell it.
I’m shocked by the title because I remember when you purchased this and how excited you were! Let me continue to watch
Same as my lou camera bag.everytime i wear i saw scratches.i dont know how it happened.
It stops me from using the bag, I’ve now sent my back off to be repaired so hopefully they can fix it x

This was very helpful. These videos are so useful when you're contemplating spending so much money. Thank you.
My jaw is on the ground! I have this bag, use it so much, over 18 months now, no wear, no tarnish, I love it! Rain hail or shine bag ❤
Do you have the white one? :)
This was helpful. I am glad I didn’t purchase the YSL college bag. The medium was too small and the large didn’t have a crossbody strap. I own the YSL envelope bag in dark natural so I’m concerned that the same type of issues will occur with this bag. How long have you owned the YSL college bag?
Hi I got it just over a year ago. I’ve sent the bag off to be repaired so hopefully they’ll fix the issues.
@@JosephineBongani Have you heard back? Did they fix it?
@@contentwithcandace I received the bag today and plan on unboxing it in next week's vlog x
Do u recommend this bag. Coz I was thinking of buying it. But I m hesitant
Thank you for the video-you have saved me a lot of money! I love how it looks but sounds like it won’t hold up well over the long run. Plus it seems that nothing fits 😂☹️
What foundation and shade do you use, very pretty 😊

Random but where are those two vases with leaves from in the back? I love it!
They’re H&M 😘
Call me crazy, but the quality of leather pre Covid was better. That’s why I stopped buying bags…for now.
Maybe that’s true, I’ve not experienced with the other bags I’ve bought x
whenever I see sbdy carrying LV bag I am assuming it is fake.
In my opinion, forgot to add so you can't sue me now
I am tempted to go look at mine for wear in the corners but I will save myself lol
I hope your bag doesn't have wear, I've heard the darker bags don't show wear as much as the lighter ones x

Those reviews are funny to me, because I know the best place for replicas in the entire universe, and it's #HIDUPS
I swear the happiness I feel when #LVGUCI uploads a video is beyond!!!!
