$2150 For This?! YSL Saint Laurent Mini Cassandra Bag Review | Laine’s Reviews

[@LainesReviews]

Hi guys, I hope you’re all well! 😍 I know the title sounds a bit dramatic 🙈, but it’s because I was so disappointed with some of the features of this bag... 😩 What do you think - am I overreacting? Or are my doubts reasonable? 👀

[@karriek2207]

Thank you, you just saved me a whole lot of money. And I agree with you, it is a very beautiful bag and the color is glorious. It wouldn't fit my needs though because I need to carry more than just the essentials. You are not overreacting and your doubts are reasonable. I enjoy your videos, they are so refreshing because they are your honest opinions delivered with a lot of kindness.

[@LainesReviews]

I’m so happy you found it useful! ❤️ And thank you so, so much for your kind words 🥺😍❤️

[@BirgitaAhlam]

I still love my LV reverse monogram LYXBAG clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

[@icelconem3621]

The most thorough and honest review ever 👌👌👌❤❤❤

[@LainesReviews]

Thank you! 😍❤️

I love the style of this bag and I have eyed it for awhile. Learning from your video that it cannot stay up and the feet are not effective in protecting the bottom makes it a deal breaker for me. I have found that when a bag topples over or hits the surface of a table between the bag feet (and this bag does both), there is a high risk of the bag wearing out or getting damaged faster. For this price point, I agree we should be confident in the design construction. Regarding the strap, I think this design may be intentional. While the clips on many bag straps are very convenient, the metal hardware rubs on the bag and it does create damage to the leather after a lot of use of the bag. I see this issue with my LV Pochette Métis, among other bags.

[@LainesReviews]

I couldn’t agree more & I think that the worst part is that the bottom is dented like an egg 🙈 It just says a lot about the “attention to detail” they’ve put into the bag... As regards to the strap, I can see how that could be an issue 😩 Thank you for sharing this, super disappointing about the Pochette Métis 😳

[@mbelieve9919]

@@LainesReviews It is refreshing to get honest reviews on KZbin. It is disappointing to see a slip in attention to detail, especially on a feature that seems essential to the style.

[@LainesReviews]

@@mbelieve9919 Exactly! Especially when the bag is this expensive... 😩

[@kristenv2175]

Weeble Wobbles! 🎶”weebles wobble but they won’t fall down”🎶 I agree that it should be one compartment. I’m keeping the bag but totally agree with you on the cons. I convinced myself not to fret over the annoying design elements with this one & say Fashion over function!

[@LainesReviews]

Hihi 🎶😄 It’s true, sometimes it’s fashion over function - always go with your gut 😍❤️

[@TauberMogel]

If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe HIDUPZ is your next choice?

[@stephaniekoo1448]

Thanks for the video, it’s very informative! The bag is so pretty, I saw it online and it went directly on my wishlist. But for $2000 I’d rather buy other bags that are more practical. If only they sell it at a lower price I wouldn’t mind paying for that beautiful design.

[@LainesReviews]

Thank you so much, I’m so happy you found it useful! ❤️ I couldn’t agree more! If I got it on sale, I wouldn’t think twice 🙌😄

[@crystalm.8080]

What a beautiful bag, the color is perfection!! 💕 What is going on at the bottom of this bag tho 🤣 The roundness and the bolted bag feet are a disaster!! Thank you so much for sharing, I love watching your review videos! 💕

[@LainesReviews]

Thank you so much, Crystal! 😍❤️ It’s crazy, I know, such a shame... 😩

[@DiegopglRadosevich]

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

[@tetyana8405]

I have this one in black and I totally agree with you on every sentiment) I love it’s minimalist look but the price now is crazy )

[@LainesReviews]

I just checked, it’s nearly 3k, wow… there are definitely better quality bags for that price 👀

[@elleteo]

Hmmm.. that’s quite abit of nitpicking to be honest . The clasp is one of the most unique design of this bag, it’s not the most friendly to get in or out but consider Celine box which has similarly challenging clasp. The studs at the bottom don’t hinder the bag from standing up front, you don’t need to shake it back and fro like that . Inner compartment emulates the larger size , I had a toy Lou lou which echoed the larger one but in this case of Cassandra the fit is still decent. And for color transfer, you had a choice to go with darker colors right ? Overall, flaws as they may be but certainly not deal breakers like how you described .

[@LainesReviews]

Agreed about the clasp! It’s a unique design element which isn’t necessarily supposed to be convenient. I also support having inner compartments for the bigger sizes of this bag, but, as stiff & structured as this bag is, for this particular size it becomes uncomfortable. As regards to the bag feet - I didn’t really *shake* the bag, I just touched it (it wasn’t aggressive at all) and it started swinging, which, in my opinion, is not acceptable… Furthermore, it’s the first time when I saw that a luxury bag has absolutely useless bag feet, because the middle part of the bottom still touched the ground - regardless of how you put it. Color transfer has never been a dealbreaker for me, which is why I chose this color in the first place, but, nevertheless, if someone else were to purchase this color, I’d recommend to be cautious. Overall, the flaws were deal breakers to me, personally, but there are many cases when someone’s cons are pros to someone else and the other way around. There are also cases, when you love a bag so much, that you’re willing to close an eye on even the most annoying cons. I guess this bag wasn’t true love for me, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be for someone else 🙏

[@RAM-lz1hp]

I love your review.

[@kimmcgirt9056]

Thank you for this superb review! . I was contemplating this bag but i think I may get the loulou. Those feet are a real problem. Thanks again❤️

[@LainesReviews]

I’m glad it was helpful 🤗 It’s a such a shame that such a stunning bag has such silly design flaws… 😩

[@yoyoyo1234]

Thank you for such a comprehensive review! What about its weight? Is it acceptable for you?

[@LainesReviews]

Considering how much leather there is in the bag, I actually think it’s quite lightweight! So that definitely wasn’t a concern for me 🙏 Hope this helps! ❤️

[@yoyoyo1234]

@@LainesReviews wow thank you for your reply your video really helps in making my purchase decision!

[@LainesReviews]

It makes me happy to hear that! ❤️

[@Thegirlinthetartanscarf]

Oh noooooo! I absolutely love the style of this bag, it’s so classic but I can’t get over the bag feet and the fact it doesn’t stand flat 😭 I have had it on my ‘list’ since it was released but this has given me second thoughts on it to be honest 🙈 I also love the design of the clasp but I think it would probably annoy me after a while so I’d probably prefer a magnetic closure...that’s just me being picky though 😂 x

[@LainesReviews]

I totally get you, I was staring at it for 3 weeks, trying to make the decision about keeping it or not, because it’s just so beautiful... 😩 I also agree with you about the magnetic closure - it would be so much more convenient for frequent use! 🙌 And, listen, for $2150 we ought to be picky 😄

[@djones2183]

oh such a pretty bag! it is like an updated version of the Moujik It is a big shame that the feet aren't practical though I think the strap may have been done on purpose as straps can wear the hardware/ damage the bag after time

[@LainesReviews]

It’s true, there are definitely some similarities! 🙌 I guess I’ve been lucky with the metal clasps on my straps, because sounds like it’s really an issue... 😩

[@princesskerla4]

Great presentation 👏 👌 I have the bag in burgundy....I so adore it too but always a struggle to detach the strap...the tiny unstable feets are so annoying

[@LainesReviews]

Thank you! ❤️ It’s such little details but they can be so annoying… The bag is absolutely stunning though 😍

[@CAROLINARODRIGUEZ-bh3ff]

Thanks for the video,,VERY HELPFUL,,wanted to buy it but yes the feet it makes it look cheap forthe money it cost😢

[@LainesReviews]

It’s unfortunate they haven’t made any improvements after all this time… 💔

[@missolona]

Thanks for your review which is so helpful. I am contemplating of getting this bag in this specific color (ivory natural) to match my Chanel ballet flats in beige. If you have those shoes or if you have in mind the yellowish beige color, l have a question for you, if you don't mind : can you tell me if it is the same beige tone? This would help me a lot. Thank you from Italy 😘

[@LainesReviews]

I think that Chanel’s beige is a bit darker & deeper toned, it’s definitely not going be an exact match because YSL’s is very light. That, however, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t look great together! 😍 Hope this helps ❤️

[@missolona]

@@LainesReviews Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I really appreciate! I will go to my local boutique and see if I like the match. Maybe now that the whole situation is getting better, it will be fun to go back to physical shops and boutiques in Milan. Thank you for your suggestion.

[@shopoholic6214]

I am eyeing this style but I read the closure gets free/loose after sometime . If the bag is stuffed fully closure opens itself. How is your experience with it so far?

[@LainesReviews]

Hi! Unfortunately, I wouldn’t know as I returned the bag… But I remember that the closure was nice and strong, but I can see how it could happen if the bag was too full 🙌

[@themissgpg]

What is this colour called? Blanc vintage? Or Beige? Light beige? Hard to tell on the website 😁

[@LainesReviews]

When I got this bag, I believe the color was called “natural ivory” but now, after checking the website, I can no longer find this particular shade 😩 I guess they’ve discontinued it?! No idea why though, it’s the perfect beige… 💔

[@themissgpg]

@@LainesReviews oh that's a pity it's discontinued because I agree it is the perfect beige!! I want one despite the cons because it's so beautiful 😍

[@LainesReviews]

@@themissgpg You may be able to find one on the luxury reseller websites (like Farfetch, Mytheresa etc) or you could also try reaching out to your nearest Saint Laurent outlet, so don’t give up - it may require a bit of digging but you could still be able to find one! 😍

The bag has horrible cons. Analysis correct! Wrong conclusion . Bag is very bad. Especially tge screws under the bag!🤑😝 Sicily Dolce Gabbana is better! YSL are bags full of cons and overpriced like Fendi. BUlgari and Celine are better. Louis Vuitton is ok just for few models
