Stopped in Saks today to try on some Loulou’s and to see the colours in person. Love the taupe and I’m happy I picked the small up from Ssense for the old price. The medium looks more proportionate with my bulky coat, but I think the small is the way to go since I’m not usually in this many layers. The black suede small definitely did not photograph well with my sherpa jacket!

Any idea what’s the name of the color of the brown bag?

I got mine on European website Vitkac…it was my first time shopping there so I was a bit apprehensive but turns out they are legit. They were selling small Loulou for approx $1800 USD inclusive of duties and taxes and also had 10% off for shopping through their app. Needless to say, I was a happy bunny.

So there were no other duties or taxes and no issues with shipping or customer service? That sounds like a great option!

What are you using to impregnate the leather of loulou? I have this Collonil spray, I don't know if its any good? I have loulou in dark beige, I'm worried of leather changing the color if I use spray.
Any products to recommend for care? Thanks a lot.

I have Collonil Carbon Pro spray, the bottle looks different. I sprayed my loulous with it, one of them is "light natural" colorway, and it did not change the color at all, but it did change the texture. It def gave it a more plastic coated feeling, but I continue to use it bc color transfer wipes right off with a damp cloth, blue jean color will literally slide right off and leave a paper towel blue and the nothing on the bag. for me its worth the very slight change in texture.

I also use Collonil usually but am afraid to use it on the Loulou….with your ‘texture change’ feedback..I probably won’t use it.

where do you live? I ask bc I also use another spray called Wilsons leather TLC, its also an aerosol and I buy it at the Wilsons leather store but I think they might only be located in the usa. The Wilsons leather TLC does not change my leather texture or color at all so that is another one to consider. im recently testing another product called "Kiwi camp dry" on my husband's shoes before try it on bags...l sprayed them today, so time will tell

Thanks for replay :)
I was researching a bit and also found that a lot of people are using Collonil Carbon Pro for protecting their bags. I also asked my SA, and she recommended me Collonil Protect and Care, she has the same bag (loulou in dark beige) and use it for years. There is no official recommendation from YSL to use anything, but this is just her experience. I like it that this spray is organic and you can spray it indoors. I will test it first on some old Zara leather shoes before spraying the bag of course :)
I don't mind if it is changing the structure a bit, I just want to avoid color transfer and leather creaks. And according to description on back, this spray should also do moisturizing job, so lets see :)
