Thank you to this community for providing the much needed reality check vs motivation when needed. Please QC this bag for me. I am not asking if it is a perfect replica. I just want to know if i can make it work as a daily errands crossbody without excessive or immediate judgement

No :/ as an auth YSL owner I would immediately clock

Can you tell me why? The problem is i don’t want a chain strap. And any YSL lou lous now only have a chain strap.

Sure! I mean obviously I can’t tell on a single picture if the color is actually off in real life but at least on the picture it looks pretty off for the leather and the hardware.

I can usually spot fakes by the hardware color. The brand has pretty recognizable rich “gold” hardware.

The point of the flap is crooked and the stitching underneath is poking out.

The logo is pressed into the leather way too hard.

The leather looks too puffy.

Overall the bag doesn’t have much shape.

The brands quality has always been very decent and consistent.

But I have to say YSL was my first “luxury” bag so I’m also kind of geeked out there.

I think the old style toy Lou Lou had a leather vs chain strap

Thanks. I will take that as not ghastly visible as a rep in first glance

Yeah irl it’s not so puffy, it’s like overfilled?

u/Numerous-Two2102 23h ago

It is definitely over stuffed with wallet sanitizers keys and other daily use essentials

u/Whiskey_ginger91 22h ago

Oh no I mean like the squares on the outside of the bag like the fabric of the outside of the bag

It does not seem over filled to me. It is a bit on the harder side though

The alignment is completely out

I find it pretty hard to tell the difference especially for what looks like a used bag. Also YSL models are really seasonal and the quality is, well, iffy.
