UNBOXING & COMPARISON | SAINT LAURENT CARD HOLDERS

[@sarahanson4552]

Appreciate the review! I’ve had my eye on the flap card holder but I can tell it won’t work for me. They’re both gorgeous though!

[@LValiquette]

I thought I would like the flap card holder more and it's so cute. But, functionality is key!

[@shantetinsley227]

I actually like the SAINT LAURENT flap wallet better than the others due to the tightness of the card inserts. I am considering getting that one! Thanks for the review!

[@WyeChengChong-ql7lr]

Was debating between these 2 and your review was really helpful! Thanks! Went ahead and bought the fragments card holder.

[@vickichang2104]

Have had my eye on the monogram fragments card holder for some time! Just love how slim and elegant it is. Plus I've heard that the pebbled, coated leather is super durable. The one with the flap looks cute but I feel like it adds a lot of bulk without the function. Thanks for the comparison, these are so helpful! :)

[@LValiquette]

Yes, the leather seems so durable and I have a few other Saint Laurent items that have aged so well. I really thought the one with the flap would be better, but like you said, it's also pretty bulky.

[@Lala-bi9mc]

I have the zippered card case in red & I love it! It fits the right amount of cards and cash. I love that it remains thin even when it has stuff in it. The envelope card case is a lot cuter but once you put cards and cash in, the envelope part will be too tight to put anything in. I have both and i never use the envelope card case.

[@LValiquette]

Thank you for letting me know! Both are so cute and I went into it thinking I would like the flap card case more - but I guess you never know until you try it out. So happy to hear that you still love the first one and the red is an amazing colour!

[@eziyambe]

I have the YSL flap card holder, the zipper gets easier and the inside of the flap is perfect for storing cash folded. It’s my FAV! Loved the review nonetheless 🖤

[@LValiquette]

Ohh that's good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@meredithmeechihawkins1392]

I have the fragment card holder wallet in sea salt and I love it. I don’t mind having to fold my cash to put in the zipper section. The wallet is good size to fit in most mini bags. Over time, the leather will loosen up some so it won’t feel as stiff. It’s definitely easier to use than the 2nd option shown. The 2nd option is harder to get cards out of depending on what you put in the front envelop section.

[@LValiquette]

Ohh that's amazing to know that you are loving it! Sea salt is such a beautiful colour. Ever since covid, I have found I carry less cash and just pay with credit. But, I agree, I don't minding folding cash to fit!

[@lizk1780]

I'm so glad you did this comparison. I just purchased the Lou camera bag, and want to get a matching card holder for it. I was originally leaning towards the flap style, but the functionality of the other one has convinced me to go in that direction. Thanks again for doing this comparison, your timing was impeccable!

[@LValiquette]

Yay! Congrats on your new Lou camera bag! The flap style seems like it would be more functional, but it was not excuted well.

[@shopwithme1244]

I was eyeing on the one with the flap before but now I like the card holder better after your reviews.

[@LValiquette]

The flap version is so nice, but unfortunately just not as functional. The top zippered version is amazing!

[@zanyxenia]

Thank you so much for the comparison! I was going between the two and wow thank you for your insight. Flap was looking so chic now I know it won’t fit my needs …

[@LValiquette]

Glad I could help! I thought the flap version would be better too, but you never know until you actually try it!

[@cm302]

I have the OG card holder in black & sliver and I’ve been using it for 6 years! It has held up super well, the glazing at the corners have worn off color a title bit but that’s it. very impressed with the quality. I love Saint Laurent card holders.

[@LValiquette]

Saint laurent really has amazing SLG’s! For the price they are great quality.

[@lindsayturcaloro5661]

I have had my eye on the first one for a while now. After watching your review I am sold! Thank you so much for making this video! xo

[@LValiquette]

Glad I could help! Saint Laurent makes amazing SLG's!

[@sweetrainydays]

Thank you so much for the comparison! I am debating between these 2 and I actually thought i would prefer the one with the flap. It would have been much better if they made the pocket expandable

[@LValiquette]

Same! But to my surprise, the one without the flap is so much better!

[@zanielyn]

The flap one is still hard to open even though I have it for over a year now. I prefer the classic cardholder. But the flap one is a great and cheaper alternative than the Louis Vuitton recto verso

[@coryb9970]

I loveee these style of wallets. So easy to use and versatile. I barely need cash so they work really well for me. I think the LV one is my favourite out of them all because of how far it can open up.

[@LValiquette]

Yes, the LV has the advantage and it's worn so well! I'm the same, I always use my credit or phone to pay now.

[@weiweiyim6579]

Thank god I see this video before buying it. Will definitely go with the one without flap

[@LValiquette]

Yes! I thought the flap one would be better...but turns out it's not as useful!

[@sherriceperry1079]

Excellent review. I just picked up the card case in magenta pink. It’s excellent!

[@LValiquette]

Oh nice! Congrats!

[@Rosie-iq4eu]

Thank you for the great review! I haven't seen many videos on the YSL flap card holder. I already have the YSL fragments card holder but I'm tempted to get one with the flap now! ❤😊

[@maryburton9308]

Thanks for the compares YSL...you have help me to make my decision...I will be buying the one with out flap.

[@LValiquette]

Glad that I could help! Saint Laurent makes amazing pieces!

[@ESBEAUTII]

I Love an envelope style wallet…the zippy one is cute too but I can see me trying to stuff it and getting receipts or money stuck in the zipper

[@gloriachan1333]

Great in depth review! Thanks for sharing. The zipper smoothness definitely would be a deal breaker and good thing you check. I think it's something I'd look over and it would definitely bug me every time.

[@kara.oz.]

YSL cardholders are always so beautiful 😍😍😍

[@LValiquette]

They are gorgeous!

[@curlycrysss3642]

I have the fragments version and it has worn really well ( I’ve had it since about April). The card slots have loosened to fit everything perfectly and the zipper area opens easier now. One of my favorite card holders

[@LValiquette]

Ohh that's so great to hear! Thank you for the update on it. Saint Laurent quality is amazing.

[@bloodbuzz]

You have great timing with this video! I bought the exact same YSL card wallet shortly after the first video you where you shared it (such good quality and has held up great over the years!) and now this video popped up while I'm considering buying that quilted version!

[@LValiquette]

Ohh that’s amazing to hear! YSL is really great quality. The leather is so resilient!

[@ashxlreviews]

Saint Laurent SLG are always crafted really well. 😍 Both look amazing but with your comparison the normal Fragments Card Holder looks easier to use. Great video!!

[@LValiquette]

Thank you Ash! Yes, I have a few YSL pieces and I'm impressed with their quality. The leather is really amazing. I hope you're doing well!

[@srey_p]

I’m not a KZbinr and I love Ana Luisa jewelry, it’s so beautiful and very simple. And I love the magnetic button pouch the jewelry comes in it’s perfect for storing and travel. Also I travelled earlier this year and it was totally fine. Obviously everyone was wearing mask and distancing so I felt at ease and was not worried at all. Hope that helps 😊 tfs!! I want a card holder from YSL and I’m doing my research lol

[@LValiquette]

Ohh, thank you for letting me know about travelling! Makes me feel better about booking something this winter!

[@susanaf1528]

I have the zippered card holder. It's held up throughout the years...great when I dont want to carry a purse😉

[@LValiquette]

That's amazing to hear! Glad you are still loving it!

[@selinajuse1852]

I was looking at both YSL and now I know which one I should get! Thanks Lauren.

[@LValiquette]

Yay! Glad I could help!

[@ondinehoyland7392]

Thanks for sharing, found it helpful as looking for a saint Laurent card holder/wallet 😀

[@LValiquette]

Glad that I could help!

[@katherineorta8431]

Great review!! I was looking at those two wallets and you’re the first one who’s been able to compare the two! Love your videos ❤️

[@LValiquette]

Yay, glad I could help! Saint Laurent has such amazing SLG's.

[@danipulido2888]

Thank you so much for this comparison video. I was trying to decide between those two!

[@LValiquette]

Yay! Glad I could help!

[@ElleVeeAddict]

@@LValiquette on the ysl cardholder may I ask where I can find a serial number. specifically, the one with the flap you showed

[@Hello_Vuitton]

I like the fragment card holder and the Louis Vuitton card holder more then the other one

[@LValiquette]

Ohh yes, the LV one is great!

[@jocelynturner7678]

I was wondering when another video was coming out!!! And BAM you showed out with this one!!!! I’m learning so much about luxury AND quality AND functionality thanks to you! I really like the caviar leather. This is a great into into YSL for someone starting their collection 👀🤞🏾😎

[@LValiquette]

I had to take a bit of a break last weekend - work has been so draining! The caviar leather is so amazing. Thank you for always being so suportive with my channel. The one thing I love about youtube is meeting people like you!

[@varn0205]

Thanks for the review I was debating on getting the one with the flap thinking it would be bigger but I guess not.

[@LValiquette]

Yes! The flap one is deceiving! I really like the look of it, but it just is not as functional.

[@lisamc5793]

Thank you for such a great review! Isn't it amazing how you can spend so much money on something and it has such design flaws? I can see where the coin/card holder is the much better item. Thank you for taking the time to make such great content; I really enjoy spending the time watching and learning. Sending best wishes from New Jersey, USA.

[@LValiquette]

Thank you! Sometimes I wonder question the quality control of luxury brands🧐. I hope you are doing well!

[@pinksparklesandra2045]

Hi my Vancouver sister♥️ Thank You for the great review 🖤 The first one I prefer and would work best for me & my needs. The second one would annoy me trying to get things in & out of 🤨 I have my 1st YSL slg’s and love it, want a YSL large College bag with black hardware, as it looks so classy, I do love gold hardware as well, for the classy look, bit something about black on black 🖤😍🖤

[@kathyn1343]

In June we travelled from New England to Las Vegas for a sports tournament. I was also worried but we were all vaccinated. Needed masks in all airports and on the planes. Brought wipes to clean my immediate area. I would travel again if needed but still have some reservations.

[@LValiquette]

Ohh thank you for letting me know! This makes me feel better about travelling. ☺️ My husband and I are fully vaxxed, so that makes us feel safer.

[@miag6211]

I absolutely love your channel. I really like you. I came to this video because I just purchase the New Fendi Nano Fendigraphy Bag In Black so I need a new YSL card holder and I like zip one but I have to look at my bag measurements first .

[@AussieMumVLOGS]

I just ordered the fragments card case and the envelope wallet small one with 4 card slots. It looks like the flap card holder but can hold more

[@AnnieJasmin]

They are such beautiful wallets! I personally let go of the cardholder with the zipper on top because it was a bit too long for me! But still an amazing wallet 😍

[@LValiquette]

Yes, I love mini wallets! I hope you found a mini wallet that works for you. I'm always looking for SLG suggestions!

[@donnagabbana]

I love the flap card holder because it looks classier. Especially for the price. The leather is tight at first but it will stretch out! I also only carry 4 cards on me and some cash. Better suited for me personally. The other card holder looks too plain for me to cost $500. Great review as always! :)

[@LValiquette]

Ahh good to know. Glad that you are liking it!

[@LifeWithKarisha]

Thank you fo this because I was on the fence!!

[@faaizahs7248]

I’m torn between these two! I love the flap one but the reviews really gets me.

[@7clippers1]

Perfect, I use three cards and maybe cash. No coins so I can get away with the flap

[@mylifemyjourney1]

Perfect time for this review, I am planning to get a YSL coin card & bag soon. Great review.

[@LValiquette]

Yay! What YSL bag are you looking at? Their leather is amazing.

[@suzi-c]

I bought the first one in the dark beige, she's beautiful 😍

[@Shanycole]

This summer I’ve been to Mexico, Chicago, NYC, and I’m in DR. It’s safe to travel but wear your mask and get vaccination. We did not travel until we were fully vaccinated. We also take immunity pill for the drug store before getting on the plane. Have fun but be safe!

[@LValiquette]

Thank you for the update on travelling! Both my husband and I are fully vaccinated, which makes us feel more at ease. Would you mind sharing the name of the immunity pill you take? 💕

[@kriselq]

I just found this video and it’s sooooo helpful when choosing a card holder. Just bought the Saint Laurent Fragment cardholder in Taupe and I love it! 🥰So glad I didn’t get the other one even though it looked super cute!

[@LValiquette]

So glad that I could help! Yes the flap version is definitely cute, but not functional!

[@leeloodallas7290]

Thank you so much for posting this fantastic video! I found this to be extremely helpful! 😘

[@LValiquette]

Yay! Glad I could help! 💕

[@BagznBirdz]

The flap card case looks like it's trying to be like LV Recto Verso but isn't quite successful. There's a good idea behind it but I think it should be a little longer and both the zipper and flap compartment need gussets in order to work. Then it would be epic!

[@LValiquette]

YES! I thought the same thing and that perhaps it would be a more affordable option. But, it was really not excuted well.

[@helloimtokki]

Omg thank you so much for this review I’ve been debating between those two! The one you’re giving away is the one I’ve been eyeing on too 😭🥺

[@LValiquette]

They are both so nice! But I'm glad I was able to test both out.

[@maraborghi5112]

Love ur channel ❤️ a little of everything. I seen ur aritzia Videos ❤️❤️very helpful reviews ! Both card holders are beautiful

[@Steph.97]

Very good review of these card holders. Thank you 😊

[@LValiquette]

Thank you! Hope you're doing well!☺️

[@estibalizprice]

Ooh I really like the fragment wallet. It’s too bad that the envelope one didn’t work, you figured you’d be able to get more out of it.

[@LValiquette]

Yeah, that's what I thought too!

[@rosieschweebie]

Excellent review! I have the LV reverse monogram card holder, but it doesn’t hold a lot of cards. I really like YSL cardholders/ wallets and have been wanting one for awhile.☺️

[@FluffedUpFlair]

Have been eyeing that ysl card holder for a while now, can’t wait for the giveaway! 😊

[@LValiquette]

yay! It's a beauty!

[@lauras2026]

Thank you for the comparison, it was very detailed 👍

[@LValiquette]

Thank you! Glad I could help!

[@kia9847]

I just bout the card holder without the flap feels like it will work out better for me

[@alexiawilliams3065]

Awesome review! I also prefer the Fragments Card holder over the Fragments Flap Card holder. So excited for the giveaway, thank you for doing one! Much love from Ontario, Canada!!

[@sarachan2460]

Neither one for me .. still loving my LV one, same as yours but in black 😉

[@LValiquette]

The LV is definitely amazing!

[@shaunac7720]

Great review! I enjoy these type of comparison videos! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@LValiquette]

Thank you! I like these types of videos too...I'm always indecisive. Happy Thanksgiving!💕

[@ranaplans]

I can relate to being a perfectionist... Especially when paying that much money on luxury goods. Great video love💕

[@LValiquette]

Right!? If we are paying a pretty penny for these items, they better be in perfect condition. Although, I'd probably say the same for a basic $30 t-shirt too😂.

[@nooni107]

Crazy how inconvenient the flap wallet is considering the price point.. the zippered wallet is definitely the one to keep

[@mp7939]

Wow these are so expensive! In Germany they are around 100$ cheaper! But they look so elegant!😍

[@LValiquette]

Oh wow, $100 cheaper! You're lucky!

[@yveyve7115]

I, who was originally very frightened to travel, traveled to Spain in July. I was extremely hesitant but all went very well. I wiped down EVERYTHING with Clorox wipes. I doubled masked so I felt more comfortable. The airline passed out masks if anyone was not wearing an "approved" mask. Everyone on the plane had to wear a mask the entire flight and was reminded by the crew if spotted without one. The major airlines are equipped with HEPA filters that capture at least 99.97% of airborne microbes by circulating the cabin air once every 2 to 4 minutes. Once I heard this, I was more willing to go.

[@LValiquette]

Thank you so much for the info. Glad to know that you felt safe and that the airline was taking the proper precautions. I feel better about travelling now!

[@paperplanesandmascara]

Omg, thank you for this! I've had my eyes on both these cardholders for months, unable to decide which one would work best for me. This video was so helpful!

[@LifeWithKarisha]

I'm so nervous now. I wanted the flap one, but now i don't know.

[@LValiquette]

Totally depends on your lifestyle. Both are beautiful!

[@Restless318]

[@DaniOchannel]

They need to put some gussets into the flap card holder. Hey Lauren, do you like participating tag videos? I have one coming up, would love to tag you 💕

[@LValiquette]

Yes, you're right, a gusset would make it perfect! Ohh, I've never done a tag video, I guess it would depend on what the topic is.

Hi Lauren, have your cards bent at all in these wallets? I’m having troubles with my current card holder bending my cards and I want to upgrade to one that won’t.

I actually gave it away as a giveaway prize so I don't have it!

[@bryanandy5540]

Love the comparison video! I have been trying to purchase the LV coin card case for months but it’s been unavailable at my local Dallas location. I think you might have swayed me towards the Saint Laurent wallet instead. Would love to win the giveaway!! I’ll keep my eyes open for the official announcement. 😁
