Cassandre Matelassé Leather Wallet on a Chain

Loved this bag and enjoyed it until I noticed that the edges started chipping away after just a few wears within a little over a year of ownership. I called customer service to determine if there were any known defects in the leather for a certain batch. She confirmed that the edges are painted; therefore, will wear. Given Saint Laurent markets themselves as a luxury handbag provider, I would not have expected this corner cutting in their craftsmanship. Due to this, I cannot recommend this bag and would opt for another luxury handbag provider. The customer service representative did assure me I can send my bag in for repairs; however, any “wear and tear” scenarios would be at my own cost. Unless your handbag preference is a worn, tattered luxury style, look no further. Otherwise, save your money and time on another brand.

I’m not sure how I feel about this bag yet. It was an impulse buy because I saw that it was on sale. The leather and chain are beautiful, however I wish the chain was a tad bit longer. I’m short, 5’2 so it sits awkwardly if I carry it on my shoulder. If I wear it crossbody it’s not long enough on my body. We’re all different tho! So this bag might work for you. I’m still deciding on whether I should keep it or return it.

I was so stoked to get this bag.... After two nights of just taking it to dinner I noticed the leather was ripping away from the Saint Laurent symbol. It was tiny but i’m Sure could’ve gotten way worse. Luckily I was able to return it and glad I noticed this. If you’re paying for one of their cheaper bags such as this one it won’t last you for years. I sucked it up and bought a Saint Laurent medium kate calfskin leather shoulder bag! About double the price but higher quality.

I love this bag! Have had my eye on it for awhile... so glad I got this color combo - the dark gray with silver hardware looks stunning and is more interesting than basic black! Fits iPhone 6, lipstick, compact, keys and sunglasses (plus many credit card/ID slots).

I got the nude color (Poudre) and it is much (several shades) darker in person than pictured on here; looks more like a taupe/dark nude. It may not be the light color you'd expect but still a good neutral that's hard to find with silver hardware for a clutch. Overall, purse quality is great, sturdy, not easily scratched, has plenty of pockets for a WOC and beautifully crafted.

This is not an everyday bag for me, but I bought it with that in mind. I wanted something that I could wear for special occasions and nights out, and it has been great for that. It’s beautiful to look at and I love the grained leather and structure. Very happy with my purchase.

I’ve been eyeing this handbag for over a year now and finally decided to splurge. It’s the perfect size for the minimalist who doesn’t carry around a lot in their purse. It fits my keys, my thin wallet, my phone, lipgloss, etc. There’s definitely a lot more room than I expected and it’s not packed full or bulky with my belongings in it. Only some what con is - I was expecting a magnet closure button but it’s an actual button ... which can be a little annoying at times trying to open when you’re in check out or rushing. Overall it’s a trendy, staple purse for anyone’s wardrobe. It can easily be dressed up or down and makes a statement.

As a more price-friendly alternative to the Chanel WoC you can’t beat this YSL! All the style but $1k + lower price. So many compliments on this as an evening purse, very versatile and I often use it as a clutch as well as a shoulder bag (you can wrap the chain twice to shorten it, or keep it original length and wear as a crossbody bag).

Beautiful, sturdy an ample amount of pockets. Room to fit just about everything you need for a night or day on the town. The red is beautiful and vibrant. Goes well with a pair of Louboutins.

Perfect bag for a night out or everyday! Very well constructed and just large enough to fit the essentials. Love the timeless design!!

It broke my heart to return this but the chain is much too short to wear it even as a shoulder bag, let alone cross body. The sales rep mentioned that some people buy a longer chain online (non-YSL) but I feel like for this price tag, you shouldn’t need to modify it. I ended up getting the camera bag instead that has a similar quilted design but longer strap and more room. If you’re on the shorter side, this bag will probably work for you.

I recently purchased this beautiful wallet with a chain is a perfect size to say bag it's a great size and looks incredible. I'm very happy with my purchase.
