This is an entry level bag, and I consider that is a great value for the money. One of the features I like about the bag is the flap support on the back. The bag won't stress, and create a crease con the leather by opening an closing the flap. It does not has any sort of glazing (which most higher price bags do). The strap isn't a problem for me, and I love that I can use it as a clutch, or use other straps and completely change the look of the bag. I personally love the aged silver hardware, because it gives the bag a "masculine" vibe, but it comes in different finishes. While I get that you may get a deal online, the best thing to do is to buy directly from the boutique, so you can feel the bag before buying it. I would hate to buy a bag that was returned, and handled the way you handled this bag, before returning it. 😵
Wow! That’s definitely a defective bag. I’m so glad I have this bag. It’s my first luxurious bag and I can’t get enough of it. It’s elegant and can be worn just for anything. I was a little taken back when I saw how small it really was. But honestly it makes it that much better because I carry only my essentials. I find this bag well worth the money. I bought it off someone in the BHW and I got a good price for the bag. I was lucky. I hope you think to get this bag in the future because I can tell you it’s a beautiful piece. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with an otter box case and my phone fits in it. I was impressed with such a small bag how I could carry my ysl wallet, iPhone 12 Pro Max, case holder, AirPods, and some cash. It still has room for more but that’s all I really need. I’m scared to carry hand sanitizer in the bag cause it can ruin it. So I choose not to for the leather. But overall it’s a beautiful bag and looks good when you dress up or down.
When bags are returned I’m guessing they get boxed up for the next person to buy. I’d hate to buy a bag that someone has wore and played around with after spending all that money on it 😩 But absolutely you should return if it isn’t good for you.
I know... I’d hate to receive someone else’s return but at the same time, no one should keep the bag unless they are absolutely happy with it, especially at luxury prices.
@@LuxPending I do absolutely agree. I think I’m more shocked that there isn’t a tag. I’m in the UK maybe it’s different. But if you order a bag etc there’s a large tag and piece of cardboard that says “if removed you can not return”. The fact you can wear it out and then still return is mind boggling to me. But absolutely no reflection on you and I agree on the return, also enjoyed your vid! 😊
I like the small size versus the toy. It literally does look like a toy purse u know? So I can see why you’re returning. And OMG that squeaky sound WTH! 😮😂 Thanks for posting. You might wanna try the baby Nikki bag from YSL I feel like it’s so underrated and very functional. Would love to know your thoughts.
Sad to hear that you will be returning this bag :( I absolutely love mine. My strap doesn't seem to have that squeak that yours has. The look of the hardware gives the bag an edgy look which I really love because it adds diversity to my little collection. In regards to the size... I fit everything that I need when I leave the house (my Samsung S20, compact wallet, LV 6 key holder, hand sanitizer, hand cream and mini perfume). I hope someone who has their eye on this bag does not feel too deterred from purchasing! I think it's a great first designer bag piece if you're into mini bags... Value for money? 95% of the bag is made of 100% calfskin leather and it could actually be used as a wristlet/clutch if you don't mind the bulkiness of it when worn that way.
I agree as well. It is a beautiful bag and I so wish it worked out for me. I guess mine was a defective one. It was crooked and making annoying squeaking noise. If it was perfect, I would’ve kept it. Maybe I’ll try size small in the future... ❤️
@Melanie Zuniga I just bought one for those reasons. I live LV but I haven’t been happy with them lately. For the price, you are getting 100% leather, and I like the versatility of it.
Yesss Virtually that's just nothing without the YSL emblem, also I happened to return my LV bag with similar reasons that you mentioned. It was a very helpful video to me waiting for the same bag now.
You received a lemon for sure with the crooked flap. I had a squeaky strap once and took it into the store. They knew how to fix it right away, they used leather conditioner between the leather and hardware and the squeaking stopped right away. That was 10 years ago and it never came back.
I was about to buy this bag so I’m rewatching this bag review you made, omggg I can’t believe the strap would made such squeaky noise!! Also the uneven flap is pretty obvious! I still love the style, but I think I will go to the store and try it on, look at the details before purchasing it. Thanks for sharing!
I think mine was defective one. I’ve seen other videos that showed perfectly lovely bags. I might give another try to buy this. I do love the design. Definitely need to do in person inspection. Thank you for watching dear!
i have the bag and the strap do not make those sounds when you wear it .and neither when you move it the same way that she is doing in the video, maybe at first when you get the bag due to the leather being new and stiff but after one wear nothing . highly recommend the bag
@@dianaassi6485 thanks for letting me know! I love the design of this bag and I’m planning to visit the store so I can try it on and look at the details before purchasing, definitely a classic and also good price point considering it’s luxury
Thank you for your review! I’ve ordered my medium loulou maybe about a year ago and it arrived defective. I ended up paying less than a half of the original retail price with an additional discount provided by the customer service rep, but you can clearly see there is something wrong with the bag as you carry it. I’ve been debating if I should resell it for over a year now. I am glad you made the right decision!!
Too bad it didn’t work for you. Better to put the money toward something you like better. I have this bag in the crinkled black patent leather and it is awesome! I think this is a simple and casual bag and it is priced as such. If you like the style but want something a bit fancier the small loulou looks fancier. I have that one and The quality of the small with the heavy chain is great! And bigger so it fits a lot. That size is more comparable to the pochette metis.
I’ve been considering the toy Loulou recently, thanks for the review... I’m still not sure if I will get it but I wish I got it before the huge price bump 😂 Also I couldn’t help but notice you have a brass rat!
I’ve been thinking about giving this bag another try but yes Idk if I’m willing to pay the increased price 😓 and haha nice catch re: ring. It’s actually gradrat ring, not brass rat 🙂
@@LuxPending oh I haven’t seen many grad rats before, that’s really cool! I ended up biting the bullet and getting one for Black Friday weekend... I checked the saint Laurent store in Hawaii too but even with the Hawaii discount it was so expensive... I hope I will like it and that I won’t be getting a defective one🤞

Very helpful video. I’m thinking about getting this bag. If I do, I will make sure I inspect it carefully for the flaws you mentioned.
Thank you! The only helpful video I found here on lou lou bag!
Thank you! I think the one I received might have been a defective one 😞 A lot of people are happy with this purse. Wish it worked out for me as well.
great review, you’ve made good points that are very helpful. thank you so much 💚
Thank you for watching! 💚💚💚
You can switch the straps

Thank you! Yes I’ve been considering small loulou also recently released mini loulou. Thank you for your comment! 💛🧡🤎🎃
Where did you buy the bag from? Please share :)
I also returned an LV bc the quality was not there. That bag is cute but not worth all that $$
Yes the quality definitely has to be there for the amount we are paying. Sorry to hear you had to return it! 😖
I think the mini Lou looks fancier
Me too.
Great video. I watch the review for this product here
i received a black with GHW and returning for the same uneven flap issue....
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear! But yes for this price range, we need to receive a perfect bag!
Omg very good points 👍
Thank you for watching! 💜💜💜
You made some good point!
Did you already return this? I am willing to buy it from you if you are selling it at the discounted price
Oh that’s so
Hey how did you get 25%? How and where ? I want to buy it too
Saks occasionally includes this bag in their sale promotions. That’s how I got 25% off.
I’ve been considering the toy Loulou recently, thanks for the review... I’m still not sure if I will get it but I wish I got it before the huge price bump 😂
Also I couldn’t help but notice you have a brass rat!
I’ve been thinking about giving this bag another try but yes Idk if I’m willing to pay the increased price 😓 and haha nice catch re: ring. It’s actually gradrat ring, not brass rat 🙂
@@LuxPending oh I haven’t seen many grad rats before, that’s really cool!
I ended up biting the bullet and getting one for Black Friday weekend... I checked the saint Laurent store in Hawaii too but even with the Hawaii discount it was so expensive... I hope I will like it and that I won’t be getting a defective one🤞
Hope you like the bag! I’ve been wanting to give this another try too 💚
No wonder you got it with lotsa discount.
Nobody even mentioned the gold YSL logo
i had shoes that made that noise! I should have returned bc i never wore them. the noise is awful
Oh no! Sorry to hear that :(
Is obvios Louis Vuitton is better quality, better price, high standard. And yes is a toy bag super small.
This bag is a no for me.
What’s the reason you got 25% off?
marie.k It was on sale with a code.
LaraMie where did you purchased it?
Justme 39 Saks 5th. They will occasionally include the bag in their sales code. I think I received a defective bag though. I ended up returning it.
Hmmmm
