Saint Laurent Lou Lou Lovers

Hi Lou Lou lovers!

I’m not sure whether this is the right thread to be posting this.. I have just received a Loulou as a gift, purchased from a YSL outlet at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. However, the condition of the bag is quite appalling and I need some advice on whether this is actually normal, please

Hello! I just purchased my FIRST Saint Laurent! I own a Celine Nano Luggage in black w/ GHW and just purchased a LouLou small in black matelasse with black hardware. I was going for the dark beige to add to my collection but they didn't have a store model and the black on black is just so appealing to me and I fell in love (I already have matching black on black wallet)! But now I'm wondering if I made the right choice? Is the black hardware going to hold up over time? What should I do?! Also it came with a very faint scratch but the rest of the bag is in PERFECT condition. I unpackaged it from the wrapping myself. Should I exchange it?

Actually I wanted to present my very first YSL bag here, but Farfetch delivered me the wrong bag . So much for my first experience with a YSL bag. I ordered the Small LouLou in Dark Beige - and this is what I got:

This is the Blanc Vintage color. The bag is beautiful, but I just cannot wear a white bag. Way too delicate for me.
I am really annoyed that this happened and I already returned the bag today. At least Farfetch was very helpful with the return.

Now I am rethinking everything and my next plan is to visit the YSL boutique in the city and check out all their bags before buying .

I have the envelope in dark beige and the color is gorgeous. I want to get the small LouLou in taupe next.

the creases at the back and on the front flap near the logo are not normal and I wouldn't consider these acceptable.

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!

First picture shows the Natural Dark Small Loulou with the lights in the evening, and second picture is shot in natural sunlight. I had the same dilemma when deciding between the dark beige and natural brown. I imagine the dark beige is a cooler color and may be easier to match depending on your wardrobe color (e.g if you wear plenty of pastels or loud colors). The natural dark however goes beautiful with similiar color schemes. Let me know your thoughts

(Also, dark beige is a color that has been around from past seasons, while natural dark is a new color. May be why there are more photos/videos online of the former)

Happy Birthday to me! I went into the boutique thinking for sure I'd want to purchase the LouLou in blanc vintage or grey khaki. However, this denim coloring combo was love at first sight. I'm just not sure how practical it is or how much use I'll get out of it.

After owning the Small Loulou in black for the last few months, I'm thinking of getting the Toy size since I love the functionality so much. Wanted to know if anyone owns the colour Blanc Vintage, how's the wear and tear/colour transfer like? Really want to add a white bag into my collection but I know it's high maintenance, my alternative would be Rouge Opyum, YSL's reds are equally beautiful IMO. Thanks in advance!

Hey there! I’m new to the Lou Lou club. I ordered my medium in taupe. I haven’t taken the film off yet of the snap. I just noticed this place behind the snap. It’s a gold circle I believe. Is this normal for the bag or a defect? Since it’s under the flap it’s not even noticeable, but I’d like a brand new bag to be in brand new condition Do you treat it with some sort of water repellent before wearing it?

Does the back of you all’s Loulou’s stitching line up perfectly?

I’ve joined the loulou club with my small taupe! I had my eye on the dark beige but once I saw the taupe, it was *heart eyes*. In case helpful for people with the same dilemma, here is a comparison of the two colors!

I have the blanc vintage mini puffer. I haven’t experienced any color transfer, but with any white bag there’s a higher risk, especially if wearing dark denim. I do like that it’s not a bright white, but more of a cream with a slight grey undertone. I have a matching Tarrago cream, so when it ultimately ends up with some corner wear, I can fix it right away.

is the dark beige the darker of the two?

The taupe is the darker one. Dark beige is misleading, it’s more light beige in person.

I've decided I'm going to exchange this for the blanc vintage. Outside of taking it out of the box to capture this picture, I have not used it. I think I would have preferred the blue denim more or if it leaned more pink. Lilac is difficult for me to pair with my wardrobe.

This is super helpful!!! Thank you. I’ve been obsessing over colors for a while and would like to get a Loulou in the beige/taupe-ish color range. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcomed. I have a perpetual issue of never being able to make up my mind!
