Saint Laurent Prices Tanking! | YSL Handbag Unboxing | Entire Saint Laurent Collection

We all love Saint Laurent because in the world of big luxury as they are still considered reasonably priced. I personally think they have really high quality bags for how much they cost. However with these dramatic price decreases. What do we think about the brand now? Are they de-valued? Do you think less of them? I also snagged a new Saint Laurent bag for an amazing price myself!

Stick to the end of the video. My BF makes a special appearance. Sort of 😂 For these deals, you will have to reach out to your Nordstrom or Saks SA. There will NOT be links for these items. I did not post these screenshots because they're not my photos. If you don't have an SA, I would suggest calling Nordstroms/Saks immediately and asking for specific models and the price range I mentioned in the video to see what they have left. I just got permission to share my boy Wale's IG! He's an SA at Saks. Follow him here! instagram.com/stylebywale/

[@gpcheng87]

One of the main reasons this is happening is because SL is being pulled from other retailers (i.e. dept stores and online like Farfetch). SL is positioning to become more exclusive and want more control over their products and pricing; this means retailers have to get rid of their remaining SL stock before it's extremely out of season. It's smart to grab the right styles now, as I think the prices of some will go back up after SL has regained full control. Also agree with the comments about SL never having quality issues - my experience as well.

[@Somehowadulting]

I asked the Nordstrom SA if ysl is pulling out as well. She said not that she knows of. But it's very possible and she doesn't know. Yea I think YSL has been solid when it comes to quality control which is why I'm still a fan!

[@birkinboy3976]

Great video love the info and chatting during 💚💚💚

[@Somehowadulting]

It's always fun talking to you too ❤❤❤

[@pbtraveler694]

OMG I LOVE that lambskin bag!!! It's gorgeous!!!

[@Somehowadulting]

It's so puffy and soft!! I love it too

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

You got a lovely classic style. Great find!

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks! It's so soft and luxurious to touch!

[@Maryannesquire]

I was at the luxury mall near me about 3 weeks ago. It was busier than I’d ever seen it and interestingly, Saint Laurent was the only store with a line/queue outside of it. Not Gucci, Prada, LV, Celine, or even Chanel (which sadly suffered a smash and grab group theft only a few days later).

[@Somehowadulting]

That is quite interesting! It was definitely crickets at my local one.

[@user-xo6gq7tx9n]

They have raised their prices but they have slightly reduced for a couple of designs only

[@Somehowadulting]

A few of the new ones did go on sale but not many

[@thehandbaghousewife]

Great video ❤

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks Aaryn!

[@mum2babyD]

What A great new bag you got. Loving it. I like YSL A lot and I'm still gonna keep rocking and buying it. New in my collection is a pre- loved muse two in black.The newer model (2013) i'm so looking forward to carrying it.

[@Somehowadulting]

The muse is a great one! @calebsnell raved about them.

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

The sale prices you mentioned should have been it’s retail price and not crazy price that we are looking at currently. They got too excited with the pricing, I mean many of their fans moved to Celine as well

[@Somehowadulting]

I actually haven't bought a new Celine. All my celines are from the Phoebe philo days. The triomphe logo is kind of equivalent to the YSL logo. So maybe people will feel like that the triomphe logo is over done like they do the YSL?

[@marriettaharrison6266]

Thanks girl!! Reaching out now

[@Somehowadulting]

He will take good care of you 😊

[@blake1001x]

Wow, I like your YSL bag. Super pretty ❤

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks! 🥰

[@workshy22209]

I still love YSL and I have my eye on some new styles. But will wait to see if I can get deals. Agree that negative brand image like Balenciaga and Dior is worse for the bottom line.

[@Somehowadulting]

Yes, make sure you love it before you buy anything!

[@ProvidenceFadri]

Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the*preluxz* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?

[@jrob123]

I love YSL and recently bought a new bag from one of their outlets near me. Tbh, i haven’t come across any of the price decreases as yet. All the bags i’m eyeing from the big department stores online seem to be the same. I’m following your guy now and hope to find some deals in the future!

[@Somehowadulting]

Cross fingers! I hope you find something you love. He's great to work with!

[@eprohoda]

yahoo- you uploaded best ! 🤚

[@Somehowadulting]

😁😁😁

[@ThekimG313]

I feel like the Ysl bags that are on sale are past trending bags. Ysl has new bags rolling out if you visit the boutique. Also for years LV prices have always fluctuated but have gone unnoticed.

[@Somehowadulting]

Yes you're right. Most of their classics older models are the ones on sale.

[@aliciascorner4902]

Love the green I’ve never heard of YSL quality issues I like it one day I will get a purse I don’t follow what others like I get what I like ❤

[@Somehowadulting]

💯 apparently the one I got was not popular that's why its on sale. But I've been wanting this one so it didn't matter to me cuz I got a good deal!! ❤️❤️

[@Lauren-l9u]

Great video! Please share links or specific sites to buy. I don’t see the decreased prices you shared anywhere online. (I’m looking to buy the Sade clutch!). Thanks!

[@Somehowadulting]

No links! Check out my pinned comment! Go follow my guy.

[@beemergrl3017]

The economy is horrible right now. People don’t have the extra cash and department stores want to move their merchandise. I also believe when a brand has outlets that also plays a role in lowering the brand. Thanks for sharing!

[@Somehowadulting]

I think YSL does the outlet much better than other brands. They don't make products specifically for the outlet. They only carry past season items at their outlets.

[@Rose-qr4xn]

Ha! Good job throwing him out of your room 😅! How about Golf Clubs, ski equipment, fishing gear, … don’t let him throw shade on your purses!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

[@Somehowadulting]

Hahahha! He actually admired my collection. I recently redid my purse closet and it gave me more room for purses..a few months later it's overflowing already. Need more space now lol

[@BeautyLuxeLover]

Love that green color! 💚 The appeal of YSL has definitely gone down for me plus I feel like there is an oversaturation of their bags now 😕

[@Somehowadulting]

Yea they're becoming the LV neverfull. But I am enjoying my new green bag 😀

[@robinpitkin3244]

I heard last year that the designer brands were going to be pulling out of the dept. stores. The market is slim pickens in some repressed areas maybe like Nashville. I live in S. CA . We have many designer malls. They are packed with people. I have seen no mark downs like you describe expect Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch etc. No major Luxury brands, except the Nordstroms I go to dosen't seem to be restocking. Bloomingdales in San Diego only has contemporary bags for sale in the store. Luxury is online only. The market is changing I mostly buy preloved anyway. I love YSL if I need one I go to the outlet.

[@Somehowadulting]

Yea I know Loewe pulled out of nordstroms last year. I was shocked to see how many YSL bags were out on the sale table. Just sitting there. Never seen that before. For sure, the southern cali spending power is much higher than Nashville.

[@princesscarroll537]

Where have you seen these sales 👀I didn’t see in my Google-ing

[@AdrienneMint]

This narrator is full of it- her new bag is $2850 on Nordstroms right now. She is delusional to get views, i guess.

[@AdrienneMint]

@@Somehowadultingwhat are pinned comments and why cant you tell me where the bags are on sale

[@cheche975]

Yes not true with discount! Liar!😊

[@captainhml3868]

That's why it's called Manufacturer's SUGGESTED Retail Price. 😊

[@Somehowadulting]

True that

[@luluesparza7360]

I think most high end luxury companies have over-priced themselves and should be price correcting like St. Laurent. IMO

[@Somehowadulting]

It will be interesting to see how they respond. The numbers don’t lie! Thanks for your input!

[@cathavenicethings]

I love YSL! But I am not buying any more unless it fits a gap in my collection. I was pretty tempted by a neon safety yellow nano sac de jour that I saw recently but am holding out for the day I see a neon yellow YSL card case / clutch or a neon yellow Mulberry mini alexa in their delicious heavy grain leather. You see a YSL manhattan black or brown east west clutch with a great deal though, please let me know! Or a black or brown small manhattan shoulder bag! Or a baby niki in light caramel! Lol! I guess I found more gaps in my collection! Side note: A hot pink YSL bag while not the best "investment" decision would be amazing! I feel like YSL does great neutrals and great hot pinks!

[@Somehowadulting]

I love how you just talked yourself into needing more bags lol. Yes that's partly why I love YSL they have a wide range of neutral colors. The Niki is my all time favorite for sure. I'm on the hunt for a hot pink SLG as well. A zip one like my cafune one specifically. Not sure if they made/make those.

[@cathavenicethings]

@@Somehowadulting I'll keep an eye out for you but yeah, haven't seen any card holder in that shape and colorway. I think Jacquemus has a square one but not hot hot pink. If Loewe could hurry up and do one in Paula Ibiza hot pink with a some super cute details that would be awesome albeit out of budget.

[@y7z1s1]

I really don't mind about it. Actually, I find their prices beneficial. It's YSL's strategy to attract customers who got annoyed from Chanel's/LV's ridiculous price increase. Lol

[@Somehowadulting]

Different business model for sure

[@IrisLA1]

I'm going to Nordstrom tomorrow and will check whether they have YSL bags on sale. But, probably too late for the good stuff.😒

[@Somehowadulting]

Good luck! I still see some SAs posting bags.

[@miemaxwell-smith1205]

I still love YSL and one of their wristlets was actually my wedding bag! I think maybe they have priced high and priced out the middle classes hence the price decrease online? But also these are concessions within Nordstrom/Saks that had these crazy markdowns so I do wonder if they had pre bought the bags and are struggling to shift stock hence the markdowns 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ just my thoughts

[@Somehowadulting]

Someone in the comments said they buy wholesale outright and don't have pricing floors. Which is interesting! Yea they're probably just moving inventory. I do love YSL but I did slim down my collection quite a bit because it got repetitive. Thanks for your input!

[@diva944lux9]

Hi! I dont think it cheapens the brand at all! N im jumping on this train n im snatchin!!!❤😂

[@Somehowadulting]

I hope you find something good!!

[@meryemm.2820]

I love YSL, I would love it even more if they keep reducing their prices to realign with their consumer base. I don't buy bags to resell them, but to enjoy them and prices have gone crazy in the past 3-4 years. YSL also used to be included in discount coupons for websites like farfetch, but they stopped. They are realizing they need cash and they have a lot of inventory. I love YSL aesthetic, so I would buy from them regardless, unless they do a scandal campaign like creepy p**o Balenciaga, then it would be immediately blacklisted. As an ex merchandiser and luxury brands merchandiser, there are no rules on how much you can sell an item for, however when we buy from the luxury brand, you pay wholesale and then the brand would suggest the RRP to sell it for. We have always followed what the brand suggests to sell the item for. However as a department store, if we are sitting on a lot of stock and is a high value amount, we will try to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Maybe before going into sale for everyone to purchase, we would do private sales for top customers, and then extend it to all shoppers online. I think what happened in that store just shows how desperate they are and how people are not able to afford or prefer to spend the money on other stuff like travelling.

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks for sharing your ex-merchandiser experience. I've always wondered about that. It's interesting that both Saks and Nordstroms both put them on discounts at the same time tho? And most of them similar models that go on sale. Do they talk to each other? Especially Nordstroms they have their anniversary sale going up in the next few weeks. Why wouldn't they include it as part of their anniversary sales and it's mark all of them down 30%. Logically that seems like they would make more profit than way? It's interesting why companies like YSL won't go into an agreement about pricing floors. I know companies like temperpudic does. The reason I know is I tried to haggle with the Salesperson 😂 they're nope, standard price required by tempurpedic.

[@meryemm.2820]

@@Somehowadulting they won't say this publicly, but the people sitting at the top of the big department stores talk to each other, also because it is a small world and people find themselves working for one and another during their career. Sometimes we would have our Head of coming to us and advising to put a 10-20% off everything, if the business need cash and things aren't moving fast. Sometimes she would know before it goes live that the competitor is going to have a sale and we need to do the same or we will miss out. Sometimes when we decided to go on sale with sought after items, and the brand was against it when it was live, what they could do is to give exclusive collections or pieces to our competitors in the new season, or when we ran out of stock, they would prioritise replenishment to our competitors and whatever is left they would send it to us, etc.

[@specialsasha6506]

I live in Thailand. The price hasn’t increased at all. I guess in some countries

[@Somehowadulting]

Yea it's mostly dept stores here in the states. Not the actual Saint Laurent boutiques.

[@user-yu6gi1et3b]

Some of these brands have just tooooo many good looking dupes. Of course it will affect prices. It’s a challenge to buy a model that isnt copied right and left.

[@aliciamullaney6634]

YSL is doing what they have to do to survive right now, to me it does not cheapen the brand. It is a buyers market now and goes right back to "Supply and Demand"

[@Somehowadulting]

This is a humbling year for most big luxury

[@annwashington471]

I don't see them as devaluing their brand , the price drop should bring them more buyers which is the end game for all these brands. let't not for get that hermes and chanel have sales. Not on bags but still they do have sales.

[@PiggyLovesOllie]

Except Chanel lolllll

[@AdrienneMint]

WHAT ARE PINNED COMMENTS AND WHERE ARE THESE BAGS ON SALE

[@531johanna]

Blame Chanel they started all this ridiculous price increases started during the pandemic then all famous fashion brands followed like Dior, LV etc.

[@missopinionated0000]

LUXURY does not exists anymore.. its a scam.. all brands under LVHM and KERING are not luxurious anymore !!! all of them.. is just one bunch of fast fashion cheap not luxuriously made goods with logos.. the bag you bought is looking cheap.. its like H&M bag with cheap YSL logo... my opinion .; also what you are saying and with buying this heavily discounted bag you are proving LUXURY IS DEAD... buying "big brand" heavily discounted NOTHING ON IT IS LUXURIOUS

[@PiggyLovesOllie]

But these brands have outlets where many bags end up discounted deeply any way. And at the end of the day they are still expensive

[@missopinionated0000]
