Saint Laurent Lou Lou Lovers

Thanks @mariliz11! They are both such lovely bags. I'm happy to hear that you love both and wear them on different occasions. Do you find that the Lulu is easier to maintain as the puffer is lambskin?

Thanks @Antigone I love the design of the Sunset and Cassandra. The Loulou is such a great style - Did you get your small or medium Loulou first?

Appreciate your advice @Sassy! I agree, the shw does give it a different look. The shw looks edgier to me. How has the wear and tear been on your puffers so far? I've heard that the leather is more durable than it looks.

@Moxisox Beige is definitely on my watch list! Love how lightweight and soft the puffers they are.

Thanks @foxgal Great advice!

Thanks for everyone's advice and feedback. I decided to keep the puffer as I find it to be a great lightweight on-the-go bag for days I don't want to carry around too much. I do tend to wear darker colours so black is a safe colour for me!

Definitely the puffer needs more baby-ing but it’s so soft that it makes it worth! As you said though it’s lighter than the Loulou. You’ll love it!

Hi LouLou Lovers,
A few years ago I fell in love with this bag and ordered my small size LouLou from the SL website.
(the color name is Dark Smog, now discontinued)
By then I had seen a lot of pictures of LouLou bags with creases and/or dents in it, and I was very nervous about receiving a less than perfect one. Luckily I got a perfect one and I love it so much.
So recently I bought her a baby sister… the Toy LouLou from the SL boutique.
When I told the (very friendly) SA I was looking for the Toy in the color taupe, she showed me one with dents all over it, I was shocked and asked if she had another one. She did and got it from the back. This one was perfect. She then told me they had been storing the Toy LouLou bags in a drawer to tightly and that’s how it happened. I would never have bought that dented one!
I think a bag of this price should be (and CAN be) perfect!!
Don’t settle for less.

My two favorite colors. I have taupe but wish dark smog was still available…

Beautiful! Dark smog is one of YSL’s best colors ever!

Thanks for info about the price increase! Does somebody know if it is a world wide or only in US?
I'm thinking for a while between small loulou in dark beige or loewe puzzle in dark blush ... Not sure if I will be able to decide before price increase :/ Does somebody own both of this bags?
I want to go try both bags in person, I have both boutiques in the city I live in, just no enough time

I have the Loewe Puzzle in small size in Dark Blush and I LOVE IT. I liked both this one and light caramel but in the end I went for the dark blush as it looked more neutral to me.

I was wondering if anyone has seen the puffer color Dark Honey in person? It looks very different based on lighting/websites. It looks deeper and richer on Neiman’s site than on YSL’s. I’m torn between this color or the quilted suede Algae or leather in Vert Fonce or Storm. I wish I had a store close. :/

No, haven’t seen irl but have to say it’s gorgeous! I would trust NM’s picture more…it uses direct lighting whereas the YSL is diffused lighting so it’s not reflecting any sheen.

Hello all, I’m wanting to take the plunge on my first YSL

Just wondered if anyone had any experience with the all black hardware on the toy or small loulou?

Is there a size preference that’s preferred? Small versus toy? I’ve tried on both and was torn. Thank you.

I have the Toy and I love it but I often think that I should’ve gotten the small instead. It doesn’t hold a whole lot, thus it’s not an everyday bag for me.

I’ve had it for 2 years and have no issue with the black hardware logo. But I only carry it on off days.

The toy is sooo small.. I couldn't get my phone to fit, so for that reason alone the bag is pointless to me. I love the versatility of the small, it's the perfect size!

I just ordered the medium suede in Algae ... I can't wait to get it! My bestie has the medium size in black leather; I never would have considered it if I hadn't seen it in person. What a gorgeous bag. I'll post a pic once she arrives!

That sounds like a beauty. Can’t wait to see your pics…

Hi there, not sure if It's still helpful, but I was in store yesterday and the dark honey looks more like the second pic ( YSL website) than the first one. It's not super dark and as shiny as Neiman's. It's more of I would consider a tan colour. I love it ! I'm torn between the dark honey and black..

The honey color in the second pic is so much nicer.

Yes it's really beautiful in real life and looks perfect for all seasons
