My all-time favorite boutique in all of South Coast. The store is well lit and everything is spaced out. There are seats in the back for trying on shoes. Not to mention, the associates are very nice and informative. I just purchased the nano Sac de Jour in smooth leather and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect everyday bag. I don't carry a lot, so the nano is perfect for me. Plus, it fits my iPhone 7 plus! For the small size, it actually fits a lot. I have my LV key pouch, YSL card case, phone, chapstick and a few other miscellaneous items. .... I got side-swept and carried away... back to the associates.. xP as I was saying... the associates are very nice. I came in and wanted the exact same bag but in a different color and the associate wasn't pushy about making the sales. In fact, she even told me there's a sale since it's the end of the season. I didn't even know luxury brands had sales!!! *mindblown* She walked me to the back and showed me the items that were on sale. I seriously wish I got her name because she was the best. I will definitely come back here for all of my future YSL purchases! read more

6/24/17 3pm & 430pm ERICA HSU. Make sure you look for her if you're trying to make a purchase here. My experience was no less than flawless and Erica was very helpful throughout this time. I've been itching to buy a purse but I was in between several brands. However, I know Saint Laurent always has these classic and chic bags. This store was actually my first stop on my trip at South Coast. When I stepped in, I already felt comfortable in the spacious environment. My party and I were offered waters as soon as we started looking at purses. The Kate and the Satchel were presented to me almost immediately as those were the outstanding ones in their new collection. I thought both were very beautiful (one in nude with silver hardware and a darker nude with silver hardware). However, I wanted to make sure I had seen all my options before I made the purchase. So I very bluntly told Erica about 20 mins in that I was still deciding. She encouraged me to go explore the other brands. However, don't know how she knew, but she blatantly stated that she was sure I would come back and smiled :) And RIGHT SHE WAS. So after browsing through other options, I finally came to the conclusion that I would get it. Yes the Kate was a bit more than what I had initially planned to spend but it's beautiful and perfect for casual or a girls' night out (day to night). I will say the only con is that the chain can be kinda noisy. Other than that, PERFECTION! read more

The whole brand doesn't allow you to use a gift card in online and nor order one for you. Technically making a store refund gift card useless. I found a bag I want to buy in online, the store doesn't support the purchase using my gift card and asked me to spend extra money through a credit card. Such an outdated practice in these seamless modern online shopping era compared to specially when other luxury brands provides. Almost feels like a scam making a customer to spend more money. read more

I came in close to closing last night to bring in my purse for cleaning. Last Saturday a waiter spilled a container of ketchup on my recently purchased ysl purse. I got the bulk of it off but the smell of ketchup remained, as well as gunk that seeped its way into the threading (threading went from black to burgundy). I brought my purse in and met Kim. She is the definition of great customer service. She went as far as getting a needle to pick out the gunk from the threading, even to the point of her hand intermittently cramping. And to top it off, she wiped my purse down with their leather polish to eliminate the ketchup smell. Down to the details she managed to get my purse looking new again. This also prevented me from having to send my purse out for professional cleaning. So thank you to Kim, as well as the other kind workers at this location. read more

Big shout out to the Manager Richard Shih!! I had bought a tote less than a year ago and one side of the leather began to bubble. I thought it was weird because the other side wasn't doing the same thing. Richard immediately acknowledged that it looked like a defect and he could offer a replacement if he had the bag in stock. Long story short I walked out with a brand new bag!!! I'm so happy!! I will definitely be a long time YSL customer and specifically a customer of this location for their amazing above the beyond customer service!! read more

My experiences at Saint Laurent have been nothing short of amazing but the customer service at this location was questionable. I purchased the men's court classic sneakers for my homegirl's birthday since the women's court classics were out of stock. I wanted to give her a tangible gift rather than a preloaded gift card or cash so I purchased these shoes so she could exchange the sneakers or receive store credit upon return. The receipt clearly states that customers can return for store credit or exchange the product within 10 days of purchase. I also filled out a card with my personal information so my friend could have a smooth transaction when returning the sneakers. My friend called to inquire about the return/exchange policy and the store director asked why I would purchase a men's shoe for a woman. I thought the questions she was asking were not only irrelevant but unnecessary as well. All customers should be able to purchase any product regardless of gender. read more

The customer service in this store is horrible therefore I'm giving them one star. I walked into the store and of course I was the only one there. A sales associate comes up to me and gives me the stare down thinking I'm lost. I asked her for an item that I saw at Nordstrom a few weeks ago, and she basically said that they don't make it. It was a waste of my time to walk in there. She was useless and will soon be unemployed since that YSL store has no customers or traffic. I then headed over to Nordstroms and they had it! So I was glad to give Nordstroms my business. read more

FASHIONISTAS BEWARE! Absolutely deplorable ethics. Do yourself a favor and order online or from a department store that offers returns, as this store does not. My boyfriend did some last-minute Christmas shopping here the night before Christmas Eve and purchased the Cabas handbag for me. After getting over my excitement, I quickly noticed that this bag was USED, worn and defective. There were no plastic coverings on the metal, and it was clearly not new; the metal on the feet was worn, the clasp and "Y" emblem were totally scratched up, and beyond that, the handle was sewn on crookedly. I was appalled that Erica, the Sales Associate that helped my boyfriend, would sell him a $3,000 bag in this condition! Imagine my shock when I called the next day and spoke with the Assistant Manager, Syreeta, who explained that they do not offer refunds (which must be specific to the store because that is not the case when you order from YSL's website). When I went on to tell her the situation, it sounded like she understood that we were sold a defective product, and assured me that when my boyfriend returned the next day, she would "take care of it". Well -- that was not at all the case. She apologized and acknowledged the bag was not in good condition, but could not offer a refund. This handbag was THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS- it should have been pristine. The whole experience has marred my love for the brand, and I don't want anything to do with this store. How can you, in good conscience, sell someone merchandise that is supposed to be a luxury item, and not do everything you can to make it right when you realize they received a shoddy product? I don't want another bag from you! Why force someone into owning something they don't want because you ruined the experience for them? Now we have to go through the pain of trying to dispute the charge... thanks for making what was supposed to be a beautiful Christmas gift such a nightmare! Friends, why shop here when you can order through the website or at a department store where your purchase is secure and guaranteed? We will never make this mistake again. These photos don't fully show the damage and wear & tear, but I'm uploading them anyway. read more

So I wandered into this store although YSL is not really my style. The sales associate was helpful and friendly even tho I wasnt really into shopping that day. I walked out of there with a newsboy style cap. Usually I will splurge on more staple items, but a hat? a $200 hat? And the ironic thing was it was too big for me so I barely wore it. Oh well, it was a beautifully made hat tho. It was a good shopping experience tho. But Im not gonna mark it down because YSL wasn't my usual style read more

I came here with a friend about two weeks ago and from what I observe, they have very good customer service and know their stuff. This was right before the price increase so it was pretty crowded. I forgot her SA name, but she was such a sweetheart. My friend came away with a bag she wanted. Saint Laurent is classic chic without the Chanel price...well, not yet anyway. The store is clean, organized, and well stocked. I love the simple design. YSL is classy and goes well outfits day or night. It can be used to glam up or just on a casual day. I do not know of any other Saint Laurent boutiques around here, but I must say I was impressed. Two thumbs up! read more

I'm going to start with a disclaimer here: I LOVED the service the first time I came here. I was helped by two wonderful girls who were extremely nice ... but there are some things that really didn't work for me. So please take this into consideration that I am not bashing any sales associate in particular. First off, I love the YSL brand. It's clean, simple, and classy. It will really never go out of style. That being said, I went here to look for sunglasses since I lost my other pair. I was immediately drawn to their style and I was lucky enough to find one that fit my face. My problems came after. Now I might have been in a hurry (I really was the first time) and not noticed, but I put my sunglasses on the next day and they were completely and utterly crooked. To the point where I just couldn't save them. They were so crooked that they were falling off the right side of my face. I couldn't wear them. I JUST bought these! $300+ pair of sunglasses and....they're crooked? I took them back and the people who were working there were nice enough I suppose ... but their answers seemed a bit .. off to me. They tried fixing and said "well, this is as good as it's gonna get. it happens". ................ really? It happens? I just paid this store over $300 for a pair of good glasses and you tell me that I'm just going to have to live with it? That just doesn't seem fair to me. They brought me another pair and guess what? Those were crooked as well. Come on, YSL. I don't know if it's just this store or their sunglasses are not manufactured well, but my advice would be to STAY AWAY FROM BUYING GLASSES. It's unacceptable that they would even try and SELL these. I am SO disappointed as I love this brand, but this is something that I would NOT expect from a store like this with such a high reputation. People expect wonderful products if they pay high price for it. The only reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is that the girls who I met the first time were extremely nice and helpful with finding the right style. read more

To: Saint Laurent Management My wife is into Designer Brand clothes, shoes, and accessories. One of her favorite brands is YSL. We were in Las Vegas 2 weeks ago and my wife bought a couple of items from the Saint Laurent Boutique in Crystals. One of the. items she bought was a white Monogram Clutch. She liked it so much that I wanted to surprise her with an identical black Monogram Clutch. In as much as we will be shopping at South Coast Mall this coming weekend, I decided to order the black Monogram. I was assisted by Xarah. Xarah "EXCEEDED" my expectations, and represented the best-of-the-best customer service people, in every respect, from: helpful, courteous, pleasant, and extremely professional. She Fedex'd the Monogram, and it turned out to be a very nice surprise for my wife. Since my wife and I have known each other for 49+ years (47+ years married), we have interacted with numerous sales associates. I would place Xarah at the Top Level of sales associates. Xarah is a credit to your South Coast St. Laurent Boutique. Appreciatively, Dr. Reid Jilek read more

ugh I will never buy anything here again. I bought an envelope wallet on chain and the material sucks. 1 month in and the stitching is falling apart. Went to go get it repaired and it looked like a 5 year old glued it together. WHERE IS THE QUALITY? Go buy Chanel or something other than YSL if you're looking to spend the money. read more

I always love YSL products, and Andy was such a helpful associate there to help me. Would recommend the store for everyone, and shoutout to Andy for his work. read more

My first time buying from YSL. Before walking in I already had in mind how I might be treated at other boutique such as Chanel (being stared down). However the service provided here is top notch! My sale rep Erica is very sweet and not pushy at all. I was given complimentary drinks as well. Overall, it was a great first shopping experience. I ended up taking a bag home within 20 minutes. The only downside is their return policy. No refund will be given, only store credit. You must return it within 10 days of purchase. read more

Saint Laurent - Leather Goods Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Purchased Yves Saint Laurent Zabriskie Silver boots here the other day. Wandered into the store last Saturday with a friend, saw these silver leather boots in the mens section, didn't try them on, but had them on my mind all week after. I fell in love with them. Convinced myself that these were a shoe that I would not just wear, but keep forever...sort of an investment shoe...think male Carrie Bradshaw. And Bam! Had to have them. Called the following Thursday and what do you know, they have my size still. Thought it was meant to be so headed back down to Costa Mesa the same day and purchased them. Service was pretty good. The lady who helped me was attentive. They are pretty low staffed since the store itself isn't huge. However, I felt that they could have probably used another individual on the floor since the lady who was helping me had her hands full with three different people. Two men in the shoes department, and some wannabe Real Housewives of New Jersey who yapped about how much YSL they already had in their arsenal, yet insisted that they get taxed at a New Jersey rate...right. Tried the shoes on multiple times on my one visit walking around their hardwood floors making sure they fit right. Overall it was a good and fast buying experience. read more

This is my favorite Saint Laurent and probably my favorite store at South Coast Plaza. Everyone here is always super helpful & friendly but also give you space to browse. I called in looking for a specific item & Alexis located it for me right away & shipped it to the store. Her follow up was exceptional - she called me when the item arrived and also after I picked it up to make sure I was happy since she was not working the day I stopped in. When I went to pick the purse up, the associate that did help me was really sweet and took her time assisting me. I always enjoy coming in to this store! there are other luxury brand stores that I feel less enthused about having to visit! I give this team 5 stars!! read more

My friend and I came into Saint Laurent and everyone we encountered had amazing customer service. A gentleman at the entrance greeted us immediately, another gentleman walked around offering a glass of water for the customers. We weren't sure about making a purchase that same day, we actually just went inside to browse and we left. However Xarah was extremely helpful even though we didn't intend on buying anything she continued to assist us to find exactly what we were looking for. Minutes after leaving the store we returned LOL! We each bought a purse and celebrated with a glass of champagne. Xarah was sensational as well as the rest of the staff. Thank you all so much for great customer service. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

Love this store! The new location beautiful and much larger than the old location! Great service by all of the employees. My mother and I were also offered water ! Andy helped me pick up a gift for someone and he was so kind. We talked for a while about the brand and many other things. He was very sweet and helpful, especially since I look young & have gotten poor treatment from other retail stores in the past.I will for sure be coming back here ! read more

I've been to this store about 5 times in the past few weeks and every single sales associate has been nothing but extremely friendly and attentive, in the not-pushy way. My first visit was super quick and the subsequent visits were like a leisurely adventure in a white paradise. Kim, Christy, Bryan and Syreeta are simply the best. Even security guards are friendly. This location may seem small compared to the ones in Beverly Hills, but do not fret, just ask if they have something. Chances are, they have it in the back. Or they can order it for you. They're just the best YSL store ever. Also, I'm not a relative of anyone in the store. Lol. Just a great fan of these folks and their fantastic service. Plus, everything I've bought, from shoes, to basic tees all the way to my fabulous peacoat have been nothing but sheer perfection. My closet is about 90% YSL, so maybe I'm a bit partial. See you all soon!! read more

5 stars to great customer service of Kim, shes the manager at this location. She assisted me in finding the perfect purse... i recently purchased a bag online but was unhappy bec as soon as i opened the box i saw the purse had creases/dent on the front, it was a friday night and i called the website customer service for assistance but it was close already, so i called the south coast plaza location, kim said she can assist me for an exchange if i come in to the store and when i came in on saturday she gladly assisted me and showed me different styles, she told me the purse i received online had defect and she can exchange it for me. I was so happy, Kim had a lot of patience with me. Kim never rushed me. Great customer service. I would definitely come back and would buy from her. I just love the bag i bought read more

Went to YSL today to see if i could get the wallet i've had for two years fixed as the stitching for the card slots have been ripped for a good amount of time but never thought i could actually do something about it, but we were walking by the new place in SCP today and i said lets go look at wallets to my wife as mine was messed up! Instead of thinking we were going to get it repaired, they handed me a brand new wallet and we're so apologetic at what happened and told me next time anything happens definitely come in and see what they are able to do! Syreeta the assistant store director helped us out and was awesome. Please make sure she knows! read more

Great service! Definitely what is expected of a high end, luxury designer. The employees are friendly and very helpful. No pressure sales tactics either. This location has an excellent selection of YSL products. read more

Excellent customer service! They gave me more options than i asked for! At first i was overwhelmed but I'm glad I didnt miss anything and I'm sure my choice was 100% correct! Kimberly Chow is the one I'm going to recommend. She helped me out with my choice... And I am absolutely satisfied! All other ladies were also extremely nice and professional! Great job ladies and good luck! read more

Saint Laurent - I'm in with The YSL clutch -wallet! - Leather Goods Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

See all

I made my very first purchase of YSL at this location. I actually saw a cute French wallet at Nordstrom with my friend the other day and really wanted it. The logo on the wallet (at Nordstrom) was in silver, but I went to check out the website of YSL, they had it in gold! So I decided to drive all the way out to south coast to get the gold one. Customer service was good. I believe Andy helped me out and he was nice and polite. I love how the store is set up. The white and marble is so pretty! Like the contrast is just nice because a lot of the YSL items are mostly black. So I thought that the environment setup for the store was spot on. As for the French wallet I purchase. I like my wallet a lot but I'm not totally in love with it. When I was in the store and looking at the wallet, I had to ask the SA to bring out like 5 to 8 of the same wallet because after inspecting the items, I noticed craftmenship isn't great. The glue was not properly done or the stitching is off or something else is wrong. If your paying for an item that is a couple of hundred dollars, you would want it to be perfect right off the bat right? I finally found one that I thought was good after inspecting it. After a couple of days using my new wallet, I noticed that the stitching on the inside of the wallet is off a little. It's not completely straight. I have a lot of Louis Vuitton. I love Louis Vuitton a lot because I've been using their items for years. At least with Louis Vuitton, I don't seem to have any problems with it. It always seems new and perfect. (I don't know how their items are now, but before it's perfect) Comparing my Louis Vuitton and my YSL wallets, I can tell the difference in craftsmanship is not the same. Overall, my experience is good. Just disappointed in the craftsmanship. read more

I want to dedicate this 5 star review to Carmen Sze. I'm very pleased with my purchase because of you, you were so nice and welcoming. Usually when you go to high end designer stores you don't always get such welcoming service. Carmen wanted me to have the full experience, from trying on all the bags, to offering me champagne and water while I shopped. She wasn't in a hurry to get rid of me, she wanted to make sure I was in love with the bag of my choice. Thank you so much and I hope to see you soon.! read more

staff is very friendly, variety of choices, price is somewhat reasonable, provided lots of attention, luv my purse and wallet, will definitely return. read more

Highly recommend one of my long time favorite designers they have high quality bags that last such a long time. The customer service here is excellent. And they have a wide range of selection read more

First time in Saint Laurent, customer service was amazing. Aida was very helpful! I will definitely be back to buy a handbag from her!

It's always a pleasant experience visiting saint laurant store in Costa Mesa location. Staff is friendly and they have good selections for men and women. Purchased my white pair of embroidered sneakers. Light weight comfy every day kicks! Great places for everyone who want to treat themselves or get treated hahaha :) read more

Amazing experience! It was my first time visiting Saint Laurent and I was not disappointed. Superb service and everyone was very friendly. I was lucky to have Kimberly help me with my purchase. Every question I had was answered. She is the nicest person ever! Thank you Kim and Saint Laurent for your impeccable service! read more

I will not be going back to this location. They made me feel super uncomfortable by following me around and not saying anything. I have a few of their bags and the way I was treated at this location I decided to leave instead of looking for the bag I was going to buy. I've never had this issue at any other location. read more

I visited YSL in July 2015 to purchase shoes. I almost forgot to post this review, but since i wore my shoes this weekend again, why not. The store was very well lit and offered a lot of various selections and is located near Nordstroms in the South Coast Plaza mall. The sales associates were very friendly and not pushy (I like to shop at my own pace), but yet very attentive. They offered me drinks and told me to take my time trying on all the different shoes. When another lady came in to try on shoes and did not purchase anything, I did not hear anything negative about having to pull merchandise and putting it back. I really appreciate the level of service and the even the follow up note from associate that assisted me. TIPS: Make sure you are satisfied with your purchase because there is only a return policy within 10 days, which is very different from the Department stores like Neimans. I came here because the boutique and the Department stores often carry different colors of the same items that are exclusive. read more

Honestly my FAVORITE store in south coast!!! Every employee is so helpful and kind, the store is always kept clean and perfect, and they have lots of products in the back. Ernie is the absolute best, ask for him if you stop in!! They will bring out lots of options for you if you aren't sure what you want, but they don't pressure you or get frustrated if you pass on everything. I love the brand, quality, and products themselves, but the employees at this location make it such an amazing experience! I can't stop going back for more :) read more

Xarah was THE most helpful associate! She went above and beyond to ensure we received the best customer service! Will continue shopping with her! read more

I was at South Coast visiting my designer "friends" () and while I was in the Gucci store my husband comes in and says "Hey, you gotta go two doors down their stuff is nicer." He was referring to Saint Laurent and I just couldn't have agreed with him more. The only YSL I own is makeup (which is heavenly)but I figured I would go window shop for a little while and check out the bags. I always expect a high snooty factor when I walk into any of those stores especially when I have my three kids! I have to say though that as soon as we walked in we got sincere helpful attention. Carmen was the associate helping me and she was over the top gracious with me. She showed me many bags and even dealt with my husband as he sprinkled his opinion in there and asked for champagne! I ended up getting my first YSL bag that afternoon and I couldn't have been happier with the attentive service Carmen provided. She made my purchase and experience for sure!! As we headed to pay for the bag I passed the shoes...Carmen read me like a book and said to me, "Let's try some shoes on!" Lol I was so giddy I'm a true Louboutin girl but the ysl shoes are way more comfy and the particular style brought me, Anja D'orsay, was such a classy pump I knew unsound me next pump! I have to go back and get those still which is fine, but I have to make sure I go when Carmen is working! read more

Saint Laurent - That's Carmen! She's so wonderful! And those are those pumps... - Leather Goods Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I was very straight forward, did not waste anyone time. I know exactly what I want, came in ask to see if they have a small wallet in a color that I wanted. They do have it in stock. I purchased it, everything was fast and nice. When I came home, open it up and was disappointed with the packaging. Nothing feel luxurious about it. I always shop at LV and LV have never disappointed me in anything, this is my first time at YSL store and already not wanna come back. Anyways, back to the wallet, they jam my wallet in a small box that didn't even fit my wallet. When I open up my shopping bag, the wallet was outside of the box already, yup, no ribbon or anything wrap around it. The wallet fell out of the box because it not even the right box for it. There's no price tag with it, not sure if the wallet has been return or not. For me, when I pay anything with full price, I expect to receive the whole stuffs that comes with it. Not just the wallet and dust bag, lucky they gave me a dust bag that fit because I saw the sales associate try to find the dust bag in drawer with bunch of them. I wonder where did she get the wallet in the first place? read more

Walked into YSL on Saturday afternoon around 5:30pm with my cousin after running some errands at South Coast Plaza. She had never stepped into the store because she mentioned she felt like she would be judged if she did. We walked in and shortly after we were greeted by a woman and asked if we needed help and replied "No thank you, just looking". We were impressed by the service; at first, until we walked around the store and the security guard was behind our every move making it obvious and uncomfortable. We heard a loud crowd and looked toward the shoes section and there was about 6 guys back there laughing, joking and of course buying some shoes. They seemed to be in their late 20s to mid 30s but they were being catered to because they were spending money on their shoe purchases, which is completely understandable. The part that completely made this is worse experience ever was when we continued to walk around the store and look at items one of the sales associates (Alexis) came and from half way across the store asked Fabian (the security guard whom was following our every move) to close and lock the front doors without reason while we were inside. As I immediately felt uncomfortable and racially profiled we left the store and we walked to Nordstrom but as we walked I thought to myself that was a really messed up thing to do. So I went back to get the sales associates name and the guards (whom I mentioned above), to my surprise when I walked back the doors were open, not locked and there were roughly twice as many shoppers in store than when I was there 15 minutes prior. The girl said it wasn't meant to make me feel uncomfortable or directed to us. She asked if she can get the manager and I replied "How is that going to help?". She stepped away and called the manager, when the manager came she asked what the issue was and I explained to her what happened. She mentioned the same thing as Alexis; that it was not meant to make us feel uncomfortable but simple because they didn't have enough sales associates on the floor. I explained to her "I could understand that, if there wasn't twice as many people right now in the store as there was when I was first here and the doors were wide open, while Fabian (the guard) is standing at the door and not following anyone step by step watching and harassing their every move". Honestly, I tried to understand the situation with all the crazy stuff that happens nowadays but I couldn't help but to feel racially profiled, humiliated and discriminated. I have never experienced this and feel bad for anyone who has, but I guess if they assume you have money the experience might differ. For a high end retailer to treat someone in that form and make their experience so uncomfortable shocks me and just want to vent and share my horrid experience! I wonder what the store policy is on when it is required to close the doors and should the guard watch you like a hawk following you from one end of the store to the other without reasoning... read more

Where do I even begin! If I could give 10 stars I would. I bought a $1000 handbag and the leather bubbled up. I came in showed them the damage and no questions asked they exchanged it for the same product. I'm loyal Louis Vuitton but they could takes notes on customer service from Saint Laurent. Now a loyal Saint Laurent customer!!!! read more
