okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the LYXBAG book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I still love my LV reverse monogram HIDUPZ clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Great choice. I love vintage, they are so unique. I have some older Gucci bags (2010) and a favorite Chanel Jumbo Black Caviar Silver Hardware Single Flap (17 years) that I prefer vintage. I even restored some old LVs because I loved them so much. Thank you for your video. I like them. HIDUPZ
Hi Despina, thanks for this video! You really gave me an awesome idea. Actually, I was about to purchase a chain from a diff supplier not until I came across your video. I just purchase my insert+gormets and chain from the link uve provided. ❤️❤️❤️ yay!
Just purchased this same bag with the same insert and chain thank you so much for linking those :) I couldn’t decide between the black and beige but ended up going with black as I think I may want the uptown pouch in beige or white for my wedding
@@despina68 oh that’s good! I think it’s perfect size for me I really don’t carry much with me anymore. I’m going in store tomorrow to decide on the colour
i have this too (beige clutch) and it is a great option. the chain on mine is not as pristine as it was 4 months ago when i bought it so i recommend storing it with the chain in the felt and not against the clutch. oh and the clutch has fallen down when i was walking and removing items to find others. thankfully inside my building but def did happen!
Maybe it could be a good idea to attach another little clasp to the D-ring that's already on the bag (for the wriststrap) I'm thinking that it could hold itself together better that way..? 🤷🏻♂️
WOW thanks to you, I ordered this insert & chain🤩😍!! I think the 120cm would work good as a crossbody. I have this exact clutch in the silver tone hardware that I just purchased. So I am super pleased this website has it in the silver tone, and I could convert currency to USD to ship to me. xoxoxo 😁😃🖤🤩 Thank you a million beautiful! I just subscribed. Great video!!
Thank you so much for the great information, I was looking for something like this and just purchased it from the link you provided 😍🙏 love from Sydney ♥️♥️
I use the LYXBAGS as a work bag and have had no issues. It's a comfortable bag, has lots of room, and doesn't lose its shape. That being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry water bottles, pens, keys, or anything that could damage the interior.
It’s not an identical match as the chain isn’t made by YSL but I’m personally happy with it :) KDAustralia has an easy returns process if you’re not happy with the product
Thanks for the really helpful video. just wondering if it falls off easily when opening or does the insert with chain stay and secured? just worried of stuff falling over when used with a chain. appreciate any feedback. thanks
Even before watching this video, I'd decided to purchase this clutch. I have been eyeing it for awhile and finally took the plunge today, especially with the recent price increase. Thank you so much for your video. It was incredibly helpful! Do you have any idea where I can purchase a similar insert and chain Stateside?
Personally I think the dark gold would be too dark and more of an antique gold. But you’re welcome to order it and return it if you don’t like it. Don’t want to give you the wrong advice
I’d prefer it to be just a little bit longer, so maybe even the 120cm so it’s an additional 5cm drop. I always pay for my items from KD via PayPal so that if I do have to return it, PayPal covers the postage back :) Or you could play around with chains/ straps you already own and even if it doesn’t go with the clutch, you at least know what length you like so you can order it xx hope this helped
Great idea! When you open the bag while wearing it on the chain with the insert, do you have to hold the bag in case the insert slides out? Or does it stay in place inside the bag?
I haven’t had any issues like that :) doesn’t slide out or anything like that. I find myself naturally hold the base of the clutch anyways when I’m trying to grab something out that’s fallen to the bottom.
Hi Despina what are your thoughts on the black version of the white clutch you showed with the different quilting vs the ysl uptown pouch? I already bought the dark beige in the regular quilting and I'm looking for a versatile evening piece in black. Great video!!
I love it the black version with the different quilting like the white one I showed! I personally would’ve bought that one over mine but it came out after I bought my black one. I think it looks so classy. I actually went into the store on the weekend intending on buying the white but I actually fell in love with the dark beige uptown clutch and purchased that instead… the white is still on my wish list but I’m a little scared of colour transfer as I’m always in jeans and dark clothes.
@@despina68 glad to hear. Thanks for your honest and prompt feedback. I think I'll go for the black in the newer quilted option. I agree with you with respect to the white. I would be concerned with colour transfer especially when worn as a shoulder/crossbody bag. I think you made a good decision with the dark beige uptown, it's beautiful and practical. 😊
I can’t really comment on the grommets on the side because mine aren’t on the side, but I am glad I asked them to put it along the back so it doesn’t rub up against the folds in the leather
No charge, I just messaged them and asked for the grommets to be on the back. I personally prefer it that way so that the grommets are not up against the side of the clutch where the leather folders inwards.
Nice video! Am tempted to get 1 too, but I'm wondering if the chain will rub against the sides of the clutch opening and thus hurting it in the long run? Any issue with yours so far?
No wear yet but honestly speaking due to covid I haven’t been able to wear it out very often so can’t really predict if it’ll happen or not. The YSL wallet of chains are designed in a familiar way where the chain rubs up against the corners which made be more confident in converting the clutch into a chain bag. I’m hoping that if their WOCs are designed this way there shouldn’t be too much wear on mine.
Hi dear... im considering buying this ysl clutch...your videos are informative...can i check where can i buy the same chain you use in your clutch... and if they can deliver in Singapore...thanks
Hi! I’ve got links to everything in the description section :) I check their website and KD Australia does ship internationally; I’m just not sure how much it’ll cost you, it should calculate the price at check out on the website before you place the order.
Great video and thank you for the research on the conversion kit. With being from the United States do you believe I will have any issues ordering from KDAustralia? Do you trust their website?
I’ve purchased from KDAustralia many many times, all my inserts and most chains are from her :) I’m just not sure if she ships internationally. They have a chat service on their website if you want to find out
@@despina68 thank you again for the information. I'm planning to make the purchase for both the clutch and the insert. This was a huge help in making that decision.
I’m the same height as you and want to get a strap for my YSL beige clutch I just purchased yesterday (yay!), but I want to wear it primarily as a cross body, do you think the 120cm or 130cm chain is better? Also do you think there’s a benefit/what’s the difference for having the grommets at the back or the side? Great vid - subscribed :)
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think 130cm would be good, to get an extra 10cm chains drop as the 110 sits high on me. It’s up to personal preference. Maybe if you have a strap or chain laying around which is 130cm at home? Even if it doesn’t go with the clutch you can get a rough idea where it would sit on you :) .. I personally prefer it along the back so the grommets and chain aren’t resting on the sides however I’m not sure if she can customise her inserts anymore now that they’re public on the website. You can message her on the website and ask, she’s really lovely.
Hi there, any way I could take a closer look at the chain you purchased? Is it very similar to the chain on the original WOC? The website doenst show a very clear image I’m afraid..
To be honest, I’ve used the clutch about 3 times so far as I haven’t gone many places fancy enough to use it. But so far still looks brand new, the peddled leather is holding up well
hey girl, thanks for the review. i want to get the chain n insert via the link provided but saw there are 2 different gold color options . could you please mention which color did you get as that matches the YSL monogram hardware exactly. thanks
Great video - thank you! When you did your research, Did you notice what other companies sold this as well? I’m in Canada so ordering from Australia is not ideal 😅
I know Handbag Angels do organisers as well however I believe they’re in the UK so not sure if that will work for you. I haven’t seen any other companies, like Samorga release inserts yet.
You’re welcome 😁 so glad you liked it! I guess it’s totally up to what you prefer :) I’m pretty sure the interior of the beige clutch is already black anyways so the black insert would still work. I’m going to be using the same black insert for both clutches if I get the beige 🙂
@@despina68 oh thanks so much! Totally didn’t realise the interior is still black anyway! I’m tossing up between the dark beige and sea salt colours but will go look at other designs in similar colours as you suggest 👌😍
@@AshHeartz yeah I liked sea salt too on the website, looked like an off white/ cream but in person it’s almost like cream/green it’s hard to explain but I was glad I saw it in person
No matter if it's the @ #lvguci or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack's looks or the metal constituents.
I just bought the same bag. My first ever designer purse that I purchased and I have no regrets!! ❤

I was umming and ahhing about getting the bag, but you've sold it to me! Thank for for your review its really helpful! :)
Thanks hun! Im really glad you enjoyed my video x
Thank you so much for sharing the chain and insert idea. This is exactly what I wanted. They ship to the US too! Yay!
You’re welcome I’m glad it was helpful :)
I’ve watched your videos so many times. I just picked up my third of these 😅 I love them!

@@despina68 oh that’s good! I think it’s perfect size for me I really don’t carry much with me anymore. I’m going in store tomorrow to decide on the colour
Bought a Gucci Marmont bag on the website *BAGXGO.COM* I am honestly very satisfied with this company. Maybe the best I ever bought a bag from.
Hey girl! Great review! I am so going to get this bag!!! So excited!
i have this too (beige clutch) and it is a great option. the chain on mine is not as pristine as it was 4 months ago when i bought it so i recommend storing it with the chain in the felt and not against the clutch. oh and the clutch has fallen down when i was walking and removing items to find others. thankfully inside my building but def did happen!
I was thinking the same. It's just a insert and it could easily slide out when you open the flap.
Maybe it could be a good idea to attach another little clasp to the D-ring that's already on the bag (for the wriststrap) I'm thinking that it could hold itself together better that way..? 🤷🏻♂️
WOW thanks to you, I ordered this insert & chain🤩😍!! I think the 120cm would work good as a crossbody. I have this exact clutch in the silver tone hardware that I just purchased.

Your video is very helpful! Amazing idea. I'm excited for my clutch to arrive and convert it to a crossbody bag. 😊 Thank you!
Thanks for the awesome idea! I just ordered one for myself, can't wait to turn my clutch into a shoulder bag!
I realized the ysl link is not selling that clutch anymore. I see wristlet with stitch at the sides at the bottom.
Hi Despina!! Great hack and this is such a smart move!! TFS and have a lovely week!!
Thank you so much! xx
I saw on their website that the chain is also in dark gold. Do you think that dark gold will suit the logo color better than gold ? Thank you
I’m pretty sure KD’s dark gold is more like an antique gold. The ysl logo on the clutch is not antique gold :)
I use the LYXBAGS as a work bag and have had no issues. It's a comfortable bag, has lots of room, and doesn't lose its shape. That being said, I also take care of all my bags and don't carry water bottles, pens, keys, or anything that could damage the interior.
Hello! Have you noticed any wear from the chain rubbing on the sides?
How closely does the chain gold color matches the ysl logo?
I’m very happy with the colour match :)
They don’t match. The chain is bright gold while the ysl logo is in the darker shade of gold.
@@Chrissy9071 is the dark gold color a better match?
Sorry for reference how tall are you :) love the purse. I ask because I want to know what chain size I Should get
I have the dark beige! Highly recommend.
Does it match perfectly?
Beautiful bag! I just bought mine. Did you get the Gold or Dark Gold Chain?
hello
I would like to know whether the color of the chain is gold or dark gold?
Yellow gold 😊
Thank u dear , I wanted to know if it is the same color of the ysl gold hardware
I think the gold on the chain is really similar to the hardware on the clutch :) it goes really well
Thank u very much
I bought the strap from kdaustralia but it doesnt match the gold hardware of the clutch🤔 it’s too yellow gold.
It’s not an identical match as the chain isn’t made by YSL but I’m personally happy with it :) KDAustralia has an easy returns process if you’re not happy with the product
Hi :) when you open the bag when worn cross body, does the insert ever come up and the bag slips off? I worry about that
No the insert doesn’t come out ever :) x
Hello! I am a fellow luxury and handbag obsessed human lol btw you are stunning! Thanks for the review this was actually really helpful!!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video xx
GREAT video! Super helpful. Not sure if that’s an affiliate link or not but I hope so because I definitely just ordered the insert! Thank you!
Thank you :) no affiliation, just thought I’d share with you all the insert I use x
I got the dark beige. I was initially going for the sea salt but they were out and your right color is not the same in person
How are you liking the colour? I really like it but also I like the white! :)
Thanks for the really helpful video. just wondering if it falls off easily when opening or does the insert with chain stay and secured? just worried of stuff falling over when used with a chain. appreciate any feedback. thanks
Thank you :) the insert fits in really snug, it’s a perfect fit, it doesn’t fall out :) x

Do you have any idea where I can purchase a similar insert and chain Stateside?
I’m so glad you enjoyed it :)
Try Etsy for the inserts :)
Hi, I'm undecided on the size to order. Can you please tell me how tall you are?
@despina did you get the dark gold chain?
Do you think the dark gold would be a better match rather than the original gold chain you have?
Personally I think the dark gold would be too dark and more of an antique gold. But you’re welcome to order it and return it if you don’t like it. Don’t want to give you the wrong advice
Hi, Can you pls share me the link the buy the insert chain.
Thanks 🥰
It’s in the description:)
What length chain would you go for so you can wear it cross body? For your height etc
I’d prefer it to be just a little bit longer, so maybe even the 120cm so it’s an additional 5cm drop. I always pay for my items from KD via PayPal so that if I do have to return it, PayPal covers the postage back :) Or you could play around with chains/ straps you already own and even if it doesn’t go with the clutch, you at least know what length you like so you can order it xx hope this helped
Hi, I'm looking at the KD australia website and they have an option of gold and dark gold for the chain - which one did you get?
Hi, this is a new addition to the website, mine is just gold
Great idea! When you open the bag while wearing it on the chain with the insert, do you have to hold the bag in case the insert slides out? Or does it stay in place inside the bag?
I haven’t had any issues like that :) doesn’t slide out or anything like that. I find myself naturally hold the base of the clutch anyways when I’m trying to grab something out that’s fallen to the bottom.

Yeah I’m quite happy with the quality :) hasn’t changed at all so far
Did you get gold or dark gold in the chain? Thanks for the upload.
Gold :)
Hi what’s the clutch called pls ? And how much Australian dollars is the clutches if u don’t mind me asking
It’s called the monogram clutch. Price is $970. I’ve got a link to the YSL website in the description section if you wanted to have a look at it :)

I’m 5’6 😊
@@despina68 Thank you!😘

Hi, Despina, what do you think after using it for a while, which grommets are better - at the back or at the side?
I can’t really comment on the grommets on the side because mine aren’t on the side, but I am glad I asked them to put it along the back so it doesn’t rub up against the folds in the leather
Is there additional charge when you asked them to do the grommets at the back? Is it better that way or the ones on the side? Thank you 😊
No charge, I just messaged them and asked for the grommets to be on the back. I personally prefer it that way so that the grommets are not up against the side of the clutch where the leather folders inwards.

Just regular shiny gold
