Unboxing My Dream Bag / YSL Large Tri-Quilted Matelassé Envelope Bag

I've wanted this bag for a very long time and I can't believe I finally bought it! I'm unboxing the Saint Laurent Large Tri-Quilted Matelassé Envelope Bag in Grain de Poudre (black hardware/black leather). I plan to use it everyday with my matching monogram card case.

[@NapalmKitty]

Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it!

[@MsTYouTube]

This is becoming a very popular bag I have seen several recent videos on it in different sizes I think it’s because of the amazing sales going on. I just bought the same bag 3 weeks ago in the large with silver hardware. This is a very very gorgeous bag.

[@NapalmKitty]

I am so glad that this bag is getting the love it really deserves. I've been eyeing it for years and finally pulled the trigger on it around the same time you did. Congrats to you and welcome to the YSL envelope bag club!

[@soposh5671]

Great review and the black/black has really grown on me... Its such a beautiful bag....Heading over to Saks today

[@NapalmKitty]

Awesome! I usually go with black and gold or black and silver, but that black on black really has a stealthy edge to it.

[@maganwilliams95]

Just got this bag for my anniversary gift from my husband and I absolutely lovee it! Been getting lots of comments and stares. It’s a must have! ❤️

[@MsLipsandLashes]

I was debating between the medium & large but opted for the medium.Black & gold hardware. It’s so beautiful YSL epitome of classy, elegant timeless. I love your black hardware also, so beautiful. Maybe my next purchase I’ll get the black or silver hardware.

[@NapalmKitty]

Thank you! I don't wear a lot of gold and usually silver tones instead so I have silver and black hardware for my purses. But if you like gold, go for it! 🙂

[@yuliaweiss9394]

It looks amazing even with super casual outfit

[@NapalmKitty]

Thank you! It's an awesome bag.

Congratulations enjoy your new purchase I like the college bag or Lou Lou:) cant wait to get my own YSL bag will definitely buy in store so I can try it etc once things are back to normal.♡ I have been purchasing more luxury make up items from Dior, Chanel etc starting small aha.x

[@NapalmKitty]

Katrina Calvin It's All Within You - I like the Lou Lou as well. I’m so close to getting it in the toy size but I’m still deciding on the size. I love makeup and while I usually stick to NARS and Hourglass, I’ve recently found much love for YSL’s lipsticks.

[@holidayadventures2670]

@@NapalmKitty :) I have been treating myself to luxury brands got a lovely nail varnish from Dior beautiful wrapping and a lip gloss from Chanel. Waiting for my brow liner from Gucci I love how it comes all wrapped I like YSL got a mascara set from them in a gorgeous black and gold box now use it as a make up box. Slowly building up my collection. I want to treat myself to a Gucci belt soon after I release more weight. Enjoy the lipsticks we will get our YSL bags soon cant wait will get my belt 1st!x

[@dhanya2096]

Just got this exact bag! I totally agree with you re: the hardware, I'm not big on obvious logos and shiny hardware for the most part, except for smaller bags (like the Miu Miu Confidential purse line). The all black envelope blag is just so gorgeous and classy, I can't wait till my bag comes

[@NapalmKitty]

Sounds like we have the same style! Yes, the black on black is amazing and so much more durable/forgiving than lighter colors.

[@dhanya2096]

@@NapalmKitty I think my only complaint about this bag is the open/close magnet. You have to press a certain way to make sure it closes properly, sometimes I’ve found myself wearing the bag with the flap undone lol

[@NapalmKitty]

That's totally happened to me lol

[@nikky4548]

Also my dream bag ❤

[@pamelar1683]

Thank you for sharing your unboxing! You are so super excited about it, so cute to see you like that!! Congratulations!!! I hope one day I can get this bag too. I was wondering if you experience any wrinkling at the top back of the bag from constant opening? I am debating between the medium and large . But I feel as if the medium may be too small , maybe large is a better deal altogether.

[@NapalmKitty]

One day you'll get one soon! I haven't seen any wrinkling so far so looks good to me. Yeah, I wish there was something between the large and medium. Large can get heavy if you tend to carry a lot but I know the medium is too small for me.

[@pamelar1683]

@@NapalmKitty thank you !!!🤩

[@jaccimurray3998]

You are so cute! Love that bag!🎉🎉🎉

OMG I missed the deal 😭 Congratulations on your beautiful bag!

I'm so sorry. I'm sure there will be another sale by the holidays. You'll probably get a better deal than me. 🙂

Hey hun, just saw that the sale is back and I thought I'd let you know. Good luck if you decide to get it! www.neimanmarcus.com/c/Gift-Card-Event-Womens-Clothing-cat52350772?icid=hp_row1_66a_TieredGC_050320

[@itsRHIA]

thank you SO much!

[@annaelmo9357]

My next bag but can’t decide between large or medium. Medium would probably be better for evenings and dinner. Large would be more practical and fit more as I do like to carry a long wallet, a mini pochette, 6 key holder and a few other smaller things.idk, I can make up my mind.

[@NapalmKitty]

Yes, small and medium would be WAY better for evenings and a bit more versatile. Based on the items you listed, you can get away with a medium size. I love the large because it has the wow factor but sometimes I do wish it was smaller lol.

[@asz7435]

Hi! Found ur channel today. Tq for the wonderful vid. Do update if u find the black hardware has chipped over time or not, thanks

[@NapalmKitty]

Hi there! The black hardware hasn’t chipped for me so it looks good so far.

[@adrianapinedo011]

This is my dream bag too 😭😭😭 one dayyy I’ll own one lol

[@NapalmKitty]

Keep working at it and one day you'll get there!

[@calmartello]

For this bag, I’m indecisive with the sliver chain or matte black. The girl from the YSL store states eventually from the chain going through the holes and using it a lot the matte black will chip. Did yours eventually chip the matte black on the chain or YSL?

[@NapalmKitty]

Mine did not chip and it's been through a lot since last year. Sounds like I need to make a 1-year update on this bag. :P

[@normaandpascualaguon5236]

Thank you for sharing

[@charlesl9072]

Does the bag have a serial number imprinted on the bag itself for authenticity? Brought the medium bag as a gift from Saks and did not see it inside.

[@miltondinh5445]

just bought this exact same bag!! i’m use to buying chanel bags but wanted a change. how is this bag for you?? & can you also please do a what’s in my bag/what fits in the bag

[@NapalmKitty]

I hope you're loving this bag because it's still my daily driver. I actually haven't had a Chanel and wonder how they hold up as well. I will definitely do a what's in my bag. I empty out my bag and put it back in the dust bag but next time I take it out and pack it, I'll do a real what's in my bag for sure. :)

[@mariannaelkind422]

Is the leather soft or hard? I just bought the Loulou Medium Matelasse Leather bag and it's so soft that when I unwrapped the bag it already had dents and creases on the front from being delivered. I want something more sturdy.

[@vanimaduray5473]

I love this bag, it is so perfect! Can you please let us know if it's heavy when filled with stuff?

[@NapalmKitty]

Thank you! I don't carry too much (cellphone, lipstick, wallet, keys, inhaler, pen), but the heaviest it's been was all of that plus my 11-inch iPad Pro. It's manageable but you'll want to use the double strap carry style or else your shoulders will ache over time. I hope this helped! If not, let me know what you usually put in your bag and I'm happy to carry out an experiment. :)

[@vanimaduray5473]

Thanks for the reply! I carry a similar amount of stuff, including a tablet sometimes 💜 I also include a pack of tissues and reusable bag - not exactly heavy items lol. Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous YSL to the fullest 🤗 take care!

[@vanmax1363]

I have noticed that in 2020 a lot of people are purchasing this bag. I am so happy to see that this bag is finally getting the recognition it deserves. It is so perfect. I can't decide between Medium or Large like yours. I love the look of the Large a lot. Are you happy with the Large size?

[@NapalmKitty]

VanMax13 - Yes, this bag is really blowing up and I have no idea why. Everyone says they’ve been dreaming about it for years, so I guess this was the time to get the bag lol. I like the large a lot because I like the room. I considered the medium but the size difference is huge. Remember the envelope bags are heavier than most because of the amount of leather used/metal used, so keep that in mind with the large. But yes, I’m very happy with it.

[@ladytb2343]

I agree, it’s finally getting the recognition that it deserves... its well made and long lasting 💯 I had mines for 3 years in the large, and I absolutely love it 😍 my forever bag.

YAASSS, got me all hyped now

[@tatjana343]

Beautiful bag. I have this bag in black on black as well. Are the older version where the YSL logo comes past the envelope flap? Or is that common in replicas? I bought mine from fashionphile.

[@NapalmKitty]

It depends on the generation of the bag. Some of them sit lower (older models) but the latest ones should sit exactly like this one. Enjoy your bag!

[@sherrimcelligott9571]

Does the emblem scratch bad or the chain turn? How is the wear and tear on this chain since you have got it? I want the black also metal but worried about that?

[@NapalmKitty]

The emblem and the chain have not scratched at all so they did a wonderful job.

[@stewy313]

Is the bag somewhat shinny in person?

[@Ms.HoneyH]

This is my next bag.

[@NapalmKitty]

I’m rooting for you!

[@ereyna1010]

Is it true that there’s no longer a problem with the black hardware like you said ? has yours chipped or scratched unusually since getting it ???

I can confirm that the hardware has not chipped off at all. No issues here.

[@IamEvelynEvette]

Would you say this bag is ok for every day use?

[@NapalmKitty]

Yes, most definitely. The leather is very durable and easy to clean especially if you get a darker color. It hasn't wrinkled or warped after all this time.

I got my gift card maybe a week ago. Yes, I hope it comes in soon. There is a huge in-store sale at NM right now (Louboutins included). I picked up some Iriza and Josselyn a few days ago. Be sure to wear a mask and gloves if you do go.

[@chloebkay]

No wear and tear yet. I am very careful about how I open the bag, so I open it from the side as if I'm opening up an envelope.

It's on Neiman Marcus' website.

[@kristinavillanueva8341]

Can you fit a 13” laptop in this bag?

[@NapalmKitty]

I would definitely double check the official dimensions of your laptop first. I have 13" laptops but their screen is 13" but because the bezels are small, the physical dimensions are 11-12" length which fits.

[@NapalmKitty]

Coming back to this after a while, definitely a no to a 13" laptop but it does fit my 11" iPad Pro.

[@chortipnoysuwan7506]

So beautiful bag, I’m looking for a black color large one but could not decide for a silver or a black hardware! Any thoughts! Btw, how weight look like when full pack of ur stuff? Cause pain on a shoulder?

[@NapalmKitty]

The large is a little heavy already because of all the hardware and thick leather they use. When I pack everything in there including the iPad Pro (11-inch), it can feel like you're carrying three water bottles. No pain on the shoulder but you could definitely hurt someone if you hit them with it by accident. I hope this helps.
