What are your thoughts? I’m anxious to know. I’m all over the place. I like it, but some new features/qualities I don’t like. I ordered medium because I thought this size would be too small but I was sent what I believe is a small.
I just can't unsee the marmont in it. I can't get past the look and the fact that they got rid of the Y quilting for a basic chevron. The one plus side is that the bag is now more functional bc we all love a single big compartment
It seems like all the changes that they made make the bag cheaper to produce… less leather, shorter chain, one compartment, no embossing on the strap, & an overall smaller bag. These companies are trying to find ways to cut corners but still price it the same (or more). I think I prefer the older bag. Thank you so much for this video! I love your channel. ❤️
lol great comparison. I can definitely see both of those bags in this one! The black dust bags were so sleek. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 😊
I love your detailed videos on all your bags! I’ve had the small loulou in black and loved the look and style even with the divider. I agree with you on the new version. It’s not giving off fun, I need to wear it vibes. Your loulou camera bag looks more fun and sassy! I’m so into all my different fun and sassy Coach bags that I’ve put YSL and Louis Vuitton bags on the back burner. I still love luxury slg’s though and will carry them in my Coach bags. Keep up the videos! I love watching then!
I feel like they are completely different bags. They should have kept both versions. I think this new version is a cross between the LouLou and the Collage bag. I like that it comes with the envelope pouch. I just wished it matched the bag.
I have the small Lou Lou and love it! The new shape is modern but I would have wished a back pocket with the new design. Wished the Lou Lou square is maintained and not replaced by the EW version. This devalues the bag-bought it just 2 years ago. Anyhow, I will still use it. She is one of my favorite in my collection.
You should absolutely still use it; I do not think this version is superior in any way. Like you, I wish they would’ve kept the old version too. There were a lot of nice and refined details about that one. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for comparing the old and new versions in a video. I haven’t seen the new version in person, but based on what I’ve seen in your video, it presents as a contemporary bag to me where the old version presents as a luxury bag. Because of this, I prefer the old version. In your opinion, how is the quote the new version?
Agreed! Seeing the new version, it reminds me of the Coach Quilted Tabby. Not saying they’re twins, but the new LouLou looks like it should cost around the same range as the Tabby.
Hi Candace, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. A lot of feedback is suggesting that it appears to be more cheaply made; I’m fine with them doing that, but price it accordingly and leave the original version available too 😕
The quality is still nice it’s just missing some details that made it really beautiful. Like the chevron stitching on the sides, for example. The leather sections on the chain straps are now so short without the detailed “Saint Laurent” stamping it used to have. The leather is now lamb skin so it feels softer and more porous to me. It smells different too.
Oh boy I like this! I have the old Loulou small and it's too 'square-ish' to my liking and i dont like the dividers😢. I like it more rectangular and not as tall as the old one because i don't like stacking my stuffs up. It should be way cheaper than it is. I agree with the too rounded corner, just a lil tweak it would have been perfect. (And the price!)
Hi Gina - you’re right. A few less tweaks would’ve been better. I am all for a refresh of a great bag but it feels like they took away beautiful details and space and didn’t take away enough $$$ on the price tag. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Great video Sabrina , I feel as you , I like some things about the new version , but prefer the old version overall. I have a small in the old version in black / black hardware. The only thing I like about the new is the open compartment, we don’t need that tiny pouch and mirror inside, makes no sense. I do also like the East West shape, bit over all , the old version wins !
Hi 👋 it’s not lined in leather. It’s black fabric (grosgrain). The slip pocket pieces are leather (against the fabric) and the envelope pouch is fully leather inside and out. I definitely agree about the stamping and I miss that quilted look being on the sides too.
Great overview. I do not have one but I guess if they would have done the old version but maybe just an open compartment. The addition of a mirror and envelope pouch may not be a great addition to some people who could care less about that lol. I love your YSL Toy. Something about that little bag just always catches my eye. TFS
Hi DJ. the toy is the cutest. I love its cute little shape. All we asked them to do was remove the dividers 😂 this is a totally different bag and they could’ve left the original in existence. Thank you for watching.
All they needed to do was round the corners of the old Loulou and take out the divider. I don't think this bag is going to be as popular as they're hoping.
@@LBDBeauty I think some will be happy for an update but they could’ve kept the original version with as different as this is. I guess we will see. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 😊
I really like the new version of the YSL lou-lou. Im like that the middle pocket has been removed. Im so sorry you received the incorrect handbag size and color. Great video!❤❤❤
The bag is beautiful. Do you think if you could have gone into YSL and looked at this bag first that you would have purchased it? And if so would it have been in the color you originally wanted?
@@NothingButBags hmmm..I’m not sure because I would’ve balked at the price of the medium and that’s the size I think I would’ve preferred in person. I really wish companies would do user acceptance testing like IT departments do before they roll out changes! 😭 Vintage Blanc is my color preference but I haven’t seen it yet.
Well that’s annoying to not receive the bag you actually ordered. Hope it is resolved quickly. I absolutely adore YSL, but I’m not feeling this version of the LouLou. They should have created this bag as an addition to the LouLou collection. Maybe it will grow on me…
Hi there 😁 very annoying! It just wasn’t meant to be. She’s packed up ready to go back. It definitely might grow on us. I’ve definitely not cared for a bag before and then became crazy over it. We shall see. They should have made it an addition like you said though. Thank you for watching!
@ I panicked and ordered the Toy Loulou in Black which I’d been wanting for a while (have 2 and love them), for fear of not finding it later and I noticed they’re going fast. 😂😅
They downgraded and downsized. They should present it something other than the new LouLou. It’s more like a budget one and should be sold at a budget price.
This bag feels like a step backward rather than forward. It’s a smaller version of the Loulou, but with less space, forcing you to size up and pay more-to get the same capacity. The single compartment everyone wanted is now obstructed by an unnecessary pouch, which adds cost and takes up space. Plus, the attached mirror feels very Balenciaga 2002 and not particularly useful. The design reminds me of the Gucci Marmont flap bag, which was everywhere in 2016, and overall, it lacks innovation. The new east/west silhouette makes it blend in with so many other brands, losing the distinctiveness of the original square-shaped Loulou. It’s also hard to ignore the price increase despite offering less in both quantity and quality-something we’re seeing far too often from fashion houses these days. I do like the color, but this version hasn’t convinced me yet. Maybe it’ll grow on us, but for now, it doesn’t feel worth the price.
Unpopular opinion: This bag is not worth the price tag. It's cute and all but nothing special. DUYP in taupe (le petit Paris 15) is a better-quality purse than this YSL. The powder blue Tory Burch is beautiful.
What are your thoughts? I’m anxious to know. I’m all over the place. I like it, but some new features/qualities I don’t like. I ordered medium because I thought this size would be too small but I was sent what I believe is a small.
that's crazy! I can't believe they sent the wrong color AND size?!? The medium is closer in size to the small puffer❤

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 😄 I agree about the camera bag. It’s taken me a few days, but I have clarity now. It’s going back!
I've been dying to see this! Watching now❤

great insight on corners vs toy loulou and lou camera bags!
The hunt begins for the previous version
@@QueenShanine lol! I have to admit I did a little search 🤣 I have initiated the return
@@QueenShanine resell is probably going to jack up prices too. I hate that.
😞
Saks Fifth Avenue for sure still has the older versions and I believe Neiman Marcus

Vintage Blanc is my color preference but I haven’t seen it yet.
@ I’m definitely DOWN with that testing option. 🤣🤣
With all due respect, the new version reminds me of a flap bag that’s been done over & over by many brands. What color did you order?
Hi Teresa, it’s definitely a familiar silhouette. I ordered a black medium and got a natural tan small 😟 I’ve packed it up to send back.
I like the old version better.
Me too

Would be interesting to see what this bag fits, with and without the envelope pouch. 🤔😊
I still have it; I might try gently 🤷🏽♀️ I was pretty sure it’d be going back and didn’t want to over-handle it.
@ I panicked and ordered the Toy Loulou in Black which I’d been wanting for a while (have 2 and love them), for fear of not finding it later and I noticed they’re going fast. 😂😅
@ I have a feeling a lot of us will be doing this because I’m guessing they will indeed run out and ppl will jack up prices on re-sell!
They downgraded and downsized. They should present it something other than the new LouLou. It’s more like a budget one and should be sold at a budget price.
It's a beautiful colour though, maybe send it back?
Hi Aisa, that’s the plan. I used a forwarding service to get it shipped to me. I hope that doesn’t cause any return issues.
I don't like the shoulder breaks very much...
@@myluxurycloset529 they are oddly short! And puffier. I’m ok with the puff but why shorten them! 😫
@@TheHopefulminimalist the regular ones are kind of short too… I wonder if the puff makes them just appear shorter?
