I need a small-medium sized crossbody. I’d like it to be leather. Right now I’m debating between Coussin PM and YSL Loulou small. I saw the Coussin today and really love it. Haven’t seen the YSL irl but have the puffer clutch so I have an idea of what it would be like. Tbh the price of the Coussin is the only thing turning me off….it would be the most expensive handbag I’ve bought. And it seems pretty pricey for what it is. Anyone have both and could give me some pros/cons? Other thoughts?
 

If you don’t love the coussin for the hefty price, then don’t buy one.
If you have a puffer clutch, it’s possible that the small loulou will be too similar IDK

I know that I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t like either of these… I was in love with the loulou, until I saw one in the train (in a bigger size, though)
YSL has also the Niki, much more interesting in my opinion. There are also a lot of other options for what you are looking for.

I would chose the PM in empreinte leather. It’s the best mid sized crossbody bag in my opinion. Coussin is way too overprized for what it is.
It really is a great size and I love empriente bc it’s carefree and durable…..but the style is just a bit more on the conservative side than I was hoping for. I’m so torn! I love the style of the Coussin but I know it’s not going to be nearly as durable which is even more hard to accept given the crazy price.
