YSL envelope in the medium for sure! I have the same one in black with black hardware. It is extremely good quality and surprisingly fits a ton. I had bought mine with the goal to wear to work and successfully fit a compact umbrella, a small makeup pouch, phone, keys on a large key ring, a compact wallet, and a few personals. Do let us know what you decide!
PBI: I’m biased as I don’t like the C19. BUT I think the regular Dior Saddle is a bit big for an evening bag, but the mini would be really chic at night (or day as well!)! if you can downsize.
Of your list I’d choose Dior Saddle (mini or regular), and keep your eye out for a Saint Laurent Uptown envelope clutch. These do go on sale (even in black!) and they’re good for nighttime if you like an oversized clutch look and can deal with no strap.
Hello!
How are your chains/logo holding up? Have you experienced any signs of wear/chipping? Really contemplating on getting a black with black hardware small Loulou. Thank you!!
The hardware has not chipped or scratched. I do baby my bags but I have attached a photo for you to see the bag currently. It has no wear on it. They told me at ysl when I bought it that the chain is actually that black color all the way through so it wouldn’t chip. Not sure if that is true or not but it feels that way. But I also haven’t had any issue with the logo chipping off. I think the black hardware gives the bag an understated but edgy look. Mine is the grained leather so it holds up like a solid rock. Ysl quality is better than lv in my opinion even though I own a lot more lv because of my love for the canvas.

Wow thank you for replying! I'm so happy for you that you haven't experienced any issues! I totally agree with the understated and edgy look. I think it suits my personal style better compared to the GHW. Thank you again!
