French designer Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized the '60s and '70s with his menswear-inspired silhouettes; in 1983, he became the first living fashion designer to be honored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Today, creative director Anthony Vaccarello continues to redefine Parisian chic.
I wanted to love this bag and not even 1 week and the suede is rubbing off on the tip of the flap. I could see how this would also happen on other areas as well. NOT worth the money AT all!

I wanted to love it
After stalking this bag day and night on the Nordies app, I finally managed to snag it when it came back in stock for a hot second. However, when it finally arrived after a week of wait time, I was somewhat underwhelmed. I am a huge suede fan and already own the reversible suede Kate... but I’ve been wanting the College Bag for a while b/c IMO it has so much more to offer than the Kate (secure closure, top handle, back slip pocket).... so I thought this would be the perfect marriage of style and material. While the style is beautiful, the color is a little too muted and boring for my taste... nothing like the stunning rich nutmeg shade of the Kate bag. At this price point, if a bag doesn’t wow me, I can’t justify keeping it... so sadly, back this one goes.

Beautiful BUT
The color is bluer than bottle green, and the size is misleading. This is a small bag and not a medium. At nearly $3K it's definitely overpriced.

in love!
I was worried the color wouldn’t be as pretty but it’s actually more beautiful in person. The hardware color is more of a rusted gold along with the chain strap that complements it well. Love this bag and definitely adds diversity in my collection.

LV Medium College Suede Shoulder bag
Love this bag. It is the perfect size and shade of brown. Have received so many compliments and it's the "in" color.
