First off, let’s just get this straight: YSL wallets are, like, *the* epitome of chic. I mean, that little YSL logo? Iconic. It screams “I have my life together,” even if you’re digging through your wallet for loose change to pay for that iced coffee you probably shouldn’t be buying. (Guilty!)
You got your whole spectrum of options, too. They got the wallet-on-chains (WOCs), which are basically a clutch that doubles as a wallet, perfect for nights out when you wanna travel light. Then there’s the card cases – tiny and minimalist. Great if you’re a “cash is dead” kinda person. Bi-folds? Classic. Wristlets? Honestly, I’m on the fence about wristlets, personally. They can be kinda practical, but sometimes I feel like they make you look like you’re permanently on your way to brunch. Just my opinion, tho.
And the leather! Oh, the leather. Smooth, buttery, probably costs more than my rent. But hey, you get what you pay for, right? I saw one review that talked about “high” quality leather, and yeah, they are not wrong, those wallets are really smooth.
Now, here’s where things get a little messy, because let’s be real, luxury prices are *insane*. Like, can we all just agree that some of these wallets cost more than a down payment on a used car? That’s where the “dupes” come in, and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve definitely considered the dupe route. Some of ’em are surprisingly good! But is it the *same*? Nah. There’s just something about the real deal, you know? The way it feels, the way it smells… okay, maybe I’m getting a little too into it.
But here’s the thing that bugs me, right? Sometimes I feel like designer brands play this game of “exclusive” and “hard to get” on purpose. Like, creating a sense of urgency so you’re more likely to impulse buy something you probably don’t need. And with the YSL wallets, they keep the designs timeless and elegant, so you’ll want to buy them!
