I purchased from selfridges, and my bag looks the same, except it’s black with gold hardware. Hope that helps!

I sprayed my light natural color toy loulou with carbon pro and if color rubs off from my jeans just wipe the back of the bag with a damp paper towel and the color slides right off... its not issues at all. I highly recommend using carbon pro. I even sprayed my black small loulou just to help repel water if I get caught in the rain.
you know the saying "the only guarantees in life are death and taxes"? well add price increases as well. the bag has increased almost 1000 dollars since its original release. There will be price increases. The price went up recently in Nov but I don't know when the next increase is due to hit. It's been my experience they raise the prices once a year but now that its common for other designers to do semi annual raises they could too.
Hi everyone
Need a sense check here as I can’t decide if I’m just being too much of a perfectionist. Ordered the Small Lou Lou in black with gold hardware early December as a treat with my first bonus. My excitement quickly disappeared as on arrival, I discovered the bag was badly scratched. After a lot of to and fro with Harrods (UK), I returned the bag for a full refund and repurchased directly from Saint Laurent. The bag has arrived today and the first thing I noticed is the leather to the right side of the logo on the flat looks dented. The left side looks perfect, the right side just seems to be a bit warped. Is this normal? Also wondering if it may just need to sit for a while as it’s been in transit? Am I expecting too much perfection from a soft leather bag? Seems like really mixed thoughts on here so would appreciate views on if I should return, again! Thanks in advance

I went to look at the small LouLou yesterday and fell in love with the dark natural/caramel color! However, I’m not sure if it just matched what I happened to be wearing that day, and if dark beige would be a better/more versatile color. Also, it seems that dark beige is more popular and I’ve been unable to find many pictures or videos of the dark natural/caramel color.
Does anyone have it in this color and can share photos and how they style it? Thank you!
P.S. The SA yesterday did tell me there is going to be another price increase in the next month or two, but I’m not sure if he was just trying to get me to buy the bag!

That looks quite squished! Too bad. You could try ‘massaging’ the leather with your hand to see if it gets better but if returning was an option I would personally do
Ugh, I’m so sorry that you’re having so much difficulty obtaining a new, undamaged/un-squashed bag. It‘s unacceptable, and infuriating, given the prices that these luxury brands charge. I don’t think you‘re being too much of a perfectionist at all (and even if you were, come on, these items cost $$$$), and I personally would send this one back for an exchange. I can’t imagine the dent re-inflating, and to be completely honest, I think it looks awful. Please send it back for a new one! When you have an imperfection-free bag in your possession, you’re going to love it - it’s a great bag.
Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I think you are quite right, I’ll be returning tomorrow!
Thank you! I agree.. will be returned tomorrow. Sigh! Hopefully third time lucky
You are definitely making the right decision! Hoping that the next one sent to you is the perfect bag you deserve.
Thank you! I was wondering what YSL was like. I am not that familiar with the brand, but have been scoping out this thread. Thank you for your info. It is much appreciated!
no I would not keep that. there are some wrinkles im willing to overlook, and yes it will get some wrinkles with use, and ive created some of my own wrinkles by not stuffing it properly while traveling. BUT new from the YSL store I would not accept that wrinkle. the placement is too bothersome.
no prob. just to put it in perspective the small loulou I bought was originally like 1490 or 1590 I can't remember but now is 2390. its just gone up like crazy. now the price of the toy is what the small used to be. its only going up.
I bought a toy Loulou puffer from Nordstrom. I hadn’t seen it in person and it arrived yesterday. It’s quite small. It is black with silver hardware and I used a bunch of gift cards so if I return it I would want to exchange it for a small Loulou. What do people think about the small puffer with black hardware?
I am somewhat new to YSL. I only have one envelope style wallet on a chain. I decided to take a look at the brand again and went back and forth between the toy LouLou and toy Puffer. I think my heart was set on the puffer but I wasn't crazy about the price. I settled for the toy LouLou in black with gold hardware. It definitely wasn't love at first site. I felt the leather was hard and stiff. I didn't like the all leather strap and metal clasps. When I went to return it - before even mentioning why I was there, the SA pulled out the dark beige toy LouLou and said "this looks like your style and is perfect with your outfit". I could have squealed. The toy LouLou was immediate heart eyes....from the squishy buttery soft leather, the chain and leather strap combo and just the stylishness of the bag made my heart sing! Now....I've got to see what's next on my radar.
