Hey guys, so if you're new to my channel, I am QJ, I record fashion videos, hair videos, halls, business videos, entrepreneurship videos, things like that. So if you are a returning subscriber, hey, you may have also noticed that I recently changed my username so I'll leave the information on why I changed my username below. So let's just get right into the video because I know there's a reason why you guys clicked on the video because you wanted to know about my bag. It's the East St. Laurent large envelope bag. I'm absolutely oh my god, I... this has to be my favorite purse that I own and I'm gonna tell you guys what I love so much about this first. I know this is like a weird obsession but I really love the sound that the chains make. So I'm like super obsessed with the sound of the chains that the chains make and this bag does have a little bit of weight to it. So I'm just gonna tell you my purchase story before I even get on to the bags before I tell you guys my likes and dislikes about the bag. I'm gonna tell you my purchase story because it does have something to do about my dislikes. So I found this bag on another YouTuber's channel. She's my favorite YouTube at the moment. Her channel is styled by Castanova. I'll leave the link below but she does have a beautiful luxury handbag collection and actually she showcased this bag on her when she was her mom's house and did her mom's house tour and I'm like oh my god I love that bag. I have to have that bag. So I did some research and I figured out what bag she actually had and I looked at East Saint Laurent when I purchased my Gucci disco bag. I wanted a smaller cross body but the cross body to me at that time was a practical. This can be either a shoulder bag or a cross body bag but most times I do wear it as a shoulder bag. So anyways so I went to sex to go take a look after I watched that video. I think I went about a couple of weeks later and I wanted to actually see the bag in person. So when I seen the bag in person I they they had this bag at the store. Now for some reason I wanted this bag with the gold hardware but they didn't have it in the store. Mostly mostly all of my bags have gold hardware so this is my first bag with the silver hardware. So I've seen this in the store loved it but I felt like I could love the gold hardware even more. So I said I thought about it then I went back another couple of weeks later. I just so happened to have been at the store with the friend and I just went ahead and purchased it but I purchased this bag in the gold. So they still didn't have the gold at the store so I actually had to get the gold ship to my house. Yeah let me tell you about this bag. So first of all I get the bag it gets shipped to my house. The bag comes from like a return center and New Jersey that's what the label said the return part of the label said. So I wasn't even expecting it to be my bag. It came in a brown box. They left it on my doorstep. That was the first thing that I didn't like I love it a pretty safe neighborhood but I just feel like when you're purchasing a bag it should be signed on deliberation and we left it at the front door. So I get it. I opened the box. Yeah when I tell you the bag look just like this out the box like first of all they didn't wrap the bag up. They didn't put the bag inside of the dust bag. The dust bag was inside the bag. Like it literally looked like they just threw the bag inside of the box. So that was the first thing I didn't like. So the second thing I did not like was when I actually tried look at the bag and the gold. I hated the gold hardware. To me the gold hardware looked kind of cheap. It looked like that gold that was so gold in color that it turned to that black color. I don't know if you guys know what I'm talking about but I looked at it I played with it in the mirror and I was like no I'm not really feeling this bag. I don't know if I want to keep this bag because I just didn't love it the way I love this bag when I tried it on at the store. So the next day I went back to sex. I'm pretty sure they thought I was playing games. I went back to sex and I actually did not see myself first since I was happy about that because I didn't want him to know that I returned the bag. So I ended up returning the bag and I did not get this bag immediately. I told myself I would wait a couple of weeks again and I would see if I love the bag and if I still felt the same way like every day I was thinking about it I would go back to the store and repurchase it. So that's what I did. I went back a couple of weeks later and I absolutely love the bag. The bag is absolutely beautiful. Quality is great. I personally feel like this bag would hold this value more than some of the other bags that I have especially the Gucci bags that I have. One of the reasons being so is that the black bag has black interior. So I really do appreciate that the inside of the bag is the same as leather on the inside of the inside because sometimes when you have material on the inside what happens is it's harder to keep clean. So being that this bag is black on the inside I definitely think that this is an easy bag to maintain. So I've had this bag for, I want to say I have this bag for about seven weeks now and I've worn this bag three or four times. So I don't wear this bag a lot. I only wear this bag like if I'm going out somewhere like a special occasion or something. This would never be my everyday bag. This would be a bag with my hair by makeup and everything is done. So let's see. One of the things that I have noticed with my other designer bags that I'm not going to continue to do with any bag that I had is I'm not going to put too much into a bag. So whenever I'm carrying this bag I only carry about, I only put about four items in my bag tops. So I usually only keep my wallet inside the bag, some lotion, hand sanitizer and my lipstick. That's it. And if it's, I mean I have no issues fitting all of that and have a little bit of extra room. The thing about this bag is that it does have this magnetic class and so you have to just take your time to get it shut. So on the bag it does have an extra pocket and so the pocket I always just keep my purse because that class can sometimes be a little bit difficult to open and close, especially when you're wearing it as a shoulder bag. So I usually just put my phone in the back of the bag. So I will tell you guys some of the things that I absolutely love about this bag and some of my dislikes about this bag. So like I said before I'm just absolutely in love with how I'm able to transition this bag from a shoulder bag to a cross body bag and I'm five feet. So it's it's pretty nice. I'll show another pro about this bag as I said it before is that it has it black interior. So if I ever plan to sell the bag or anything like that which I don't plan to do but if I do it I really do believe that it'll be easier for me to sell this bag at if not the price that I bought it for or higher because this bag just does not get dirty on the inside. Like I said before my other thing is the sound that it makes. I don't know why every time I watch a video review of this bag I was like oh my god I love the way that sounds and I just love it. I love the way to change sounds. I love the silver and that's another reason why I purchased it again when I went back is because I really did love the silver. I really did feel like the silver I was able to wear silver with everything and that gold I did not feel like I could just go ahead and wear it with everything. So I really do love the silver hardware. I've even seen this in the matte black color which is also a very nice bag too. I didn't try the matte black because I knew I didn't want a matte black and honestly I just like the way the YSL looks when it reflects as opposed to the matte black. So my dislikes about this bag. I don't really have many dislikes about this bag. I don't really have any dislikes about this bag honestly. The only thing that I disliked about the bag was the gold hardware. It was just too to me it just seemed like it was just too flashy. But other than that I absolutely love this bag. I will leave the link below to where I purchased it from. I did purchase it from style. So if you guys want me to do any other holes or anything like that, let me know and I will see you guys in my next video. Thanks for watching. Bye!
