I remember that when I bought this bag, I was desperately looking for a low-key designer tote but quickly made my decision due to the limited options on the market. The Saint Laurent full leather shopper bag seemed perfect for me, and after reading and watching numerous reviews, I was confident in my choice. So far, I still believe it was a great decision.
Why did I choose it? I was on the hunt for an understated leather tote bag. Depending on the environment, it’s sometimes better to be a bit more discreet about luxury items to avoid gossip and envy. I wanted a discreet luxury leather tote without breaking the bank.
Features: This bag is quite large, comparable to the Louis Vuitton, Neverfull MM. It doesn’t have any interior compartments, just a big open space, but it does come with a detachable pouch, which is very handy. The straps are long enough to comfortably sling the bag over your shoulder, and because they are full leather, they will become more supple over time. Additionally, it comes with a decorative but detachable leather logo hanger that adds some cuteness to this simple yet beautiful bag.
Where did I buy it? Directly from the Saint Laurent website. Now is a great time to buy directly from Saint Laurent because they have recently dropped their prices, which is pretty uncommon, so take advantage of it!
Delivery: Shipping was very fast—no more than 3 days—and the packaging was perfect as always.
Cons: The lack of internal compartments is a bit annoying. I would have preferred at least a small pocket, but the detachable pouch does the job. Some people consider the leather a con, but I believe its grained texture makes it more scratch-resistant and durable.
Would I purchase it again? Absolutely. This bag is an excellent option if you are looking for an elegant, high-quality, full-leather, and understated work tote.
Would I purchase it pre-loved? Yes, but be careful when choosing your second-hand bag. To avoid problems, use reputable second-hand websites like eBay, Vestiaire Collective, or Fashionphile, as these platforms ensure the items match their described condition and are authentic.
