Hi all!
Purchased a brand new Toy LouLou online, and received what I feel is an uneven/warped/deformed bag, but wondering if it’s just me.
It was more noticeable when I took out the tissue and attempted to see what would fit inside. The inner pockets are wider on the left side than the right (seems more pinched on the right) and the divider feels like it’s cutting in more on the top right. Pics attached.

Please let me know what you think! I’m fairly new to Saint Laurent, and have been wanting this bag in black for a while now, so a bit disappointed that the structure seems off.

Hi hi! The replacement was just delivered. Unfortunately, I’m torn and might just return both. Maybe the Toy Loulou is just not for someone as picky as me, but then with the next round of price increases, maybe I should just pick one and stop hemming and hawing? I really wanted a “carefree” and versatile non-chain bag for when I run errands and only carry the minimum.

The replacement’s shape (pic#1 &2) and interior pockets (pic #4) are better than the original. But it is a little smaller (pic #3) and has a four vertical-ish creases - 2 on the front (pic #5) and 2 on the back (wasn’t able to capture well). The creases don’t bother me tooo much as I think the calfskin (non-pebbled) used in the Loulou line is prone to creasing in general (tell me if I’m wrong). But when comparing to a lot of Toy Loulous in this forum and countless YouTube reviews I watched, they all seem flawless.

Would appreciate any thoughts :)

Between these 2, I would definitely keep the original. Overall side-by side, it looks fresher for some reason. The protective sticker is also missing off of the magnetic closure.

Thank you! :)

The replacement does have a sticker on the magnetic closure, but it’s clear instead of blue. Does that mean it’s been returned/used previously?

I also think the original one looks better. I have seen so many Loulous and none of them was really "perfect". It is probably just difficult to craft this kind of bag style perfectly :shrugs: ... But then for the price point one would expect more.

You’re so right on all points. I understand with leather products that there will be variances, but for the price point it should be minimal. Maybe this style just isn’t for me, haha. Thank you for your input! :)

I am not quite sure. I typically see blue stickers on YSL hardware, at least on bags that I have looked at including your mini. Let us know if you decide to keep. I think it is worth having especially with the price increase around the corner. Wish they would just halt with those for a little while.
