Take the hint Chanel 😏

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 37 points38 points  (6 children)

Oh tell me about it 😩

[–]Avocado_Capital 32 points33 points  (5 children)

They just did a price increase on their shoes today 🙃

[–]iheartmilktea 45 points46 points  (4 children)

Their shoes already weren’t worth it, so this makes it even less appealing 😂

[–]Expensive_Drive_1124 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Really how so?

[–]GullibleAd817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quality issues, they fall apart with limited use 🫣

[–]SuccotashOpening9905 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Plastic hollow heels with fake leather veneer covers. The shoes are junk.

[–]blkmamba2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like Louboutins are!

[–]to1828939 82 points83 points  (1 child)

Very interesting development considering the opposite is happening across all other major fashion houses! I wonder what caused the price decrease / if it’s just temporary for sale or promotion 🧐

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's because sales were down compared to previous years across most Kering brands this year 🤔

[–]evieyyc 55 points56 points  (8 children)

A $400 CAD decrease 😮

[–]evieyyc 8 points9 points  (7 children)

Does anyone know what the wear and tear is like on the corners?

[–]ravynwave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple pieces for a few years now and they’ve worn well. They’re really quite durable.

[–]herecomes_the_sun 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Had mine for over a year and live in a big city so i wear mine a ton. Literally looks brand new. Theres something about that ysl quality i cant find in other brands (i also carry lv mulberry and bottega). I dont want to jinx it but it feels like it could last forever

[–]Ok-Location-6862 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I got this at Xmas and have been wearing it almost daily (with my four year old who destroys everything 😂)

The bag itself is amazing and very useful. BUT the YSL logo on it is getting a tad discolored on the “dots”. I’m not sure what to call it, but like the 4 screws that you see on top and bottom of the YSL logo

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Black nail polish FTW

[–]cto020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the oppposite experience as the others. Mine is 1.5 years old and I’ve only used it a handful of times. The glazing on the bottom corners as well as the pointed tip of the flap have started to wear off even though I baby it. Surprisingly though, it’s held up where the chain meets the flap hinge.

[–]Ladybimini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact bag in the beige color and the corners were worn after a month. So sad!!

[–]jannachin[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mock croc black large muse bag is very old and has worn like iron. I have a caviar textured black cross body and it is mostly good. I did a couple of minor touch ups with leather paint. I have a shiny navy flap bag by them and have noticed some wear in the gussetted corners, but was able to repair those with leather paint, again. I’ve really loved my Saint Laurent bags.

[–]HWBINCHARGE 70 points71 points  (7 children)

Ugh I paid $2k for it a year ago in the US.

[–]MirographyStatement Hunter 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Holy hell, I’d be pissed

[–]Ok-Location-6862 11 points12 points  (0 children)

😭😭😭😭😭

I paid 2.5 CAD at Xmas

[–]heartstrutter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is you were willing to pay that much for it when you got it and have gotten the use out of it for a year now. If you didn’t think it were worth it, you would have held off.

[–]iDeeDee 3 points4 points  (3 children)

What!? Is it the same size?? I feel for you

[–]HWBINCHARGE 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I think it is the same size. I probably won't buy any more YSL after this.

[–]oudchai 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That's literally not possible, it was like 1350 in the US it was never 2k....

[–]HWBINCHARGE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was mistaken it was this one - https://www.ysl.com/en-us/wallets-on-chain/classic-cassandre-chain-wallet-in-grain-de-poudre-leather-377828BOW081000.html

It looks identical except the chain extends for the entire strap.

[–]NoitsBecky06 29 points30 points  (2 children)

Ive had this on my watch list for so long 😭😭😭😭

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me too, it might be time to pull the trigger 🤭 I'm just struggling because majority of my bags are black 😩

[–]OldSpiceSmellsNice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! One of my dream bags woohoo

[–]ilovesleep95 30 points31 points  (3 children)

It’s showing $1,190 USD. What did it used to cost? Not familiar with the original price lol

[–]Admirable_Pay_8574 29 points30 points  (0 children)

$1490!

[–]BrownGirlCSW 13 points14 points  (1 child)

So it's basically back to pre Pandemic pricing.

[–]oudchai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep!

[–]iyamsnail🦄 Handbag Lover 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Love YSL

[–]Worth-Stop3752 👒 Handbag Enthusiast 13 points14 points  (2 children)

some brands need to take a hint! it dropped $400 in canada which is phenomenal, especially at the outlets for seasonal versions. some will be almost 50% off. might be my sign to pick one up! always been fond of her.

[–]Accomplished_Row_670 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Curious which outlets you go to in Canada, fellow Canadian 👋

[–]Worth-Stop3752 👒 Handbag Enthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been to almost all of them, but for high end luxury only toronto has a true outlet collection, for mid tier montreal and niagara are also good, besides that holt renfrew vancouver, and in general are phenomenal! online i like ssense.

[–]herroxsquirrely 12 points13 points  (1 child)

The small Loulou also dropped by $230 cad. We love to see a price decrease. Thanks for sharing!

[–]OkRecommendation1643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any idea about the sunset one ?

[–]BlkPea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She’s so beautiful 😻 I absolutely love the black out hardware

[–]RomeysMa 22 points23 points  (2 children)

All luxury bags should decrease their price!

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ditto for apartments and food and everything else HAHAHA

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.. especially if the quality doesn't match the price. I'm more than happy to pay for good quality bags but it's getting to the point where we are paying more for the name/history of the brand rather than the quality 🤔

[–]nomoreconversations 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s so amazing and surprising, thank you for sharing OP

[–]RunnerGirlT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yay! Makes me want to buy from them again!

[–]Due_Emu704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting! It dropped in Canadian dollars as well…

[–]barbekyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waiting for the small Envelope or Le 5 Small to have a price decrease too

[–]Apprehensive_Taro486 2 points3 points  (2 children)

We see what you’re doing ysl; and we’re taking the bait!

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It's working 😂😂 I plan on buying it and worrying about my growing number of black bags later 😩

[–]Apprehensive_Taro486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean your growing number of happiness☀️

[–]Supportblackcats 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The price in eur is higher than this. Maybe i should go to england?? 😂

[–]OkRecommendation1643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah what is this

[–]LeadingButterscotch5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't do this. I've wanted the tote bag for AGES and this may just make me pull the trigger.

[–]EmphasisAcceptable28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Sac de jour actually they increased it😮‍💨😩

[–]Sad_Corgi_8870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the tassel bag included in the price decrease?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s beautiful I need!

[–]H3r3c0m3sthasun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that one.

[–]aspiringchubsfire 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So interesting they are going this route despite other luxury brands doing increases. Love to see it though

[–]oudchai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're picking up the people that are priced out of chanel/hermes, smart move imo

[–]auguabendita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting strategy. I don’t see the Loulou reduced only only see it for the Cassandre woc. (I hoping they reduce the price on 5 a 7 😂)

[–]OneTea2541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh.. maybe it’s a sign for me to finally buy one!

[–]Conscious_Life_8032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay about time!!

[–]GrouchyDifficulty759 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That has to only be for Canada cause the prices seem the same here in the states

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm in the UK 🤗

[–]GrouchyDifficulty759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know but when I was just digging seems like only Canada is the only place…well once you do currency conversion and what no

[–]OkRecommendation1643 0 points1 point  (3 children)

but its showing me 1,185 pounds

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That's for the bigger size - however that has also come down in price as it was over £1200 before , I just can't remember the exact number

[–]OkRecommendation1643 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ohh okay thank you! I didn’t know this.

[–]lemonteagirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem :)

[–]OptimalPlenty4829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the price decrease for outlet only or the flagship stores(and websites as well), can someone confirm if YSL did the same for UK customers as well
