Hi my loves! Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you so much for the love and support I’ve received so far on my previously video about this clutch.
You can check out this clutch on the Saint Laurent website: www.ysl.com/en-au/pouches-and...
As mentioned in the video, if you haven’t seen my other video on this clutch yet, please be sure to check it out 😁 here’s a link: • My first Saint Laurent...
If you are interested in purchasing the same insert as mine from KDAustralia, here’s a link to the insert below.
My chain is 110cm long and the chain model is E2.
If you only wanted the insert without the chain as you already might own one, she also sells just the insert. I’ll link both below
Insert + Chain - kdaustralia.com/ysl-monogram-...
Only insert - kdaustralia.com/ysl-monogram-...
Just thought I’d also mention, on my insert the grommets are on the back of the insert which I specifically asked she do for mine, whereas the inserts on her websites have the grommets on the sides.

i have this too (beige clutch) and it is a great option. the chain on mine is not as pristine as it was 4 months ago when i bought it so i recommend storing it with the chain in the felt and not against the clutch. oh and the clutch has fallen down when i was walking and removing items to find others. thankfully inside my building but def did happen!

I was thinking the same. It's just a insert and it could easily slide out when you open the flap.

Maybe it could be a good idea to attach another little clasp to the D-ring that's already on the bag (for the wriststrap) I'm thinking that it could hold itself together better that way..? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi Despina what are your thoughts on the black version of the white clutch you showed with the different quilting vs the ysl uptown pouch? I already bought the dark beige in the regular quilting and I'm looking for a versatile evening piece in black. Great video!!

@despina68 3 жыл бұрын

I love it the black version with the different quilting like the white one I showed! I personally would’ve bought that one over mine but it came out after I bought my black one. I think it looks so classy. I actually went into the store on the weekend intending on buying the white but I actually fell in love with the dark beige uptown clutch and purchased that instead… the white is still on my wish list but I’m a little scared of colour transfer as I’m always in jeans and dark clothes.

@safiyaalexander21 3 жыл бұрын

@@despina68 glad to hear. Thanks for your honest and prompt feedback. I think I'll go for the black in the newer quilted option. I agree with you with respect to the white. I would be concerned with colour transfer especially when worn as a shoulder/crossbody bag. I think you made a good decision with the dark beige uptown, it's beautiful and practical. 😊

No charge, I just messaged them and asked for the grommets to be on the back. I personally prefer it that way so that the grommets are not up against the side of the clutch where the leather folders inwards.

Nice video! Am tempted to get 1 too, but I'm wondering if the chain will rub against the sides of the clutch opening and thus hurting it in the long run? Any issue with yours so far?

@despina68 2 жыл бұрын

No wear yet but honestly speaking due to covid I haven’t been able to wear it out very often so can’t really predict if it’ll happen or not. The YSL wallet of chains are designed in a familiar way where the chain rubs up against the corners which made be more confident in converting the clutch into a chain bag. I’m hoping that if their WOCs are designed this way there shouldn’t be too much wear on mine.

@jacquesaldanha2001 3 жыл бұрын

I’m the same height as you and want to get a strap for my YSL beige clutch I just purchased yesterday (yay!), but I want to wear it primarily as a cross body, do you think the 120cm or 130cm chain is better? Also do you think there’s a benefit/what’s the difference for having the grommets at the back or the side? Great vid - subscribed :)

@despina68 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think 130cm would be good, to get an extra 10cm chains drop as the 110 sits high on me. It’s up to personal preference. Maybe if you have a strap or chain laying around which is 130cm at home? Even if it doesn’t go with the clutch you can get a rough idea where it would sit on you :) .. I personally prefer it along the back so the grommets and chain aren’t resting on the sides however I’m not sure if she can customise her inserts anymore now that they’re public on the website. You can message her on the website and ask, she’s really lovely.

What length chain would you go for so you can wear it cross body? For your height etc

@despina68 3 жыл бұрын

I’d prefer it to be just a little bit longer, so maybe even the 120cm so it’s an additional 5cm drop. I always pay for my items from KD via PayPal so that if I do have to return it, PayPal covers the postage back :) Or you could play around with chains/ straps you already own and even if it doesn’t go with the clutch, you at least know what length you like so you can order it xx hope this helped
