    The College is just the perfect bag, chic and edgy at the same time. I love it ❤️

    I bought the burgundy Loulou after your unboxing and I absolutely love it. I have the grey college in the medium and I agree with your comparisons. The loulou in the burgundy is definitely more luxurious looking; to be used for fancier occasions but the grey college has a bit of an edgy feel with the gunmetal hardware. BOTH amazing bags

    • @ireneang1115

      Hi, may I know what's the exact color name of the loulou medium bag? I couldn't find online, that it said burgundy, I see there is legion red similar to that color at ysl.com

    • @simonelabbe7540
      @simonelabbe7540 Před rokem

      I have it too (with silver). This colour is called rouge légion (burgundy). Love it

    I notice the volume of your videos lately is really low. I turn the volume of my iPad on at the highest & I can’t really hear you especially when I’m doing something else in the background while watching your videos.

    I personally prefer the College, and am even considering one in Navy. The structure and leather seem to be better quality, and it also has a more unique design. However, that burgundy of the LouLou is beautiful.

  • @sammikit
    @sammikit Před 5 lety +9

    Great review! I prefer the college and am wanting to add the smaller size in a grey with the gunmetal hardware. To me, it’s like a leather version of the pochette metis, but without the defects. The Lou Lou resembles a pillow cushion on a chain, but I have to say the mini version is adorable.

  • @MyDailySweet
    @MyDailySweet Před 5 lety +20

    I was just looking at these bags yesterday at Saks! I have to say, I prefer the College - I like how it’s more put together and formal looking 😊

    @EvieOhNooo Před 5 lety +2

    I love the LouLou, I plan on purchasing one this year! I’ve had my eye on it for years now and I think i’m finally going to go for it after this video. Thank you for the valuable insights!

    You always make me calm. I think you've never get stressed or anxious! Maybe you should make a video of how to deal with stress and anxiety😜

  • @trace-elementz1343
    @trace-elementz1343 Před 5 lety +3

    I now like the College more than the LouLou. I like the structure and the formality of the College, perhaps I own too many slouchy bags and need a change, but the College seems a bit more sophisticated in my opinion.

  • @jseay89052
    @jseay89052 Před 2 lety

    I just purchased a medium LouLou in Black with black chain. I'm a sucker for black hardware. I also have a black Chanel Chevron So Black Jumbo. And a black Large YSL college bag with Silver hardware.

  • @LL-et3yk
    @LL-et3yk Před 2 lety +1

    Do you still own the large college? I don’t see it quite often and would love to see an update on it! 💗💗

  • @lovelysentiments
    @lovelysentiments Před 5 lety +6

    I recently got the medium college and I love it. The leather is so nice and looks like it'll hold up well. My only issue is I wish the chain was adjustable.

  • @evededrick4959

  • @sarahs1212

    I love how that LouLou color combination is so opulent without feeling garish. What are your thoughts on the Sac du Jour?

  • @misshunneebunnie
    @misshunneebunnie Před 5 lety +2

    Monday’s are ALWAYS better with Elle! I think I would choose the College in the smaller size, simply because it isn’t as small as the small LouLou, even though I think I prefer the style of the LouLou! You look beautiful! 💗💗💗

  • @jacintasalt8731
    @jacintasalt8731 Před 5 lety +6

    The college! I’ve watched you style that bag for years. It adds a “tough” boss factor.

  • @CassandraReneeXOXO
    @CassandraReneeXOXO Před 5 lety +5

    I have the Lou Lou and definitely prefer it over the college as I love the soft puffy leather and the chain is amazing. The college looks basic and like a briefcase to me. It doesn’t hold enough for me, and the chain is way too short and not adjustable....nice bag if that’s your style but it’s definitely not mine...

  • @lauramarazzi1012
    @lauramarazzi1012 Před 5 lety +3

    I would also chose the Lou Lou! I think what makes that bag stand out is the colour. It is an elevated handbag because it's more beautiful than your standard black or brown bag!

  • @rinaloume
    @rinaloume Před 5 lety +2

    Elle! Can you do a video about how you organize your life? I’m interested in your lv pm and any other tools you use for planning :)

    i prefer the Lou Lou instead!

  • @xLittleMissKya
    @xLittleMissKya Před 5 lety +2

    I personally love the College and am considering it however I am scared that the style will go out of style quickly. In your opinion, do you think this style is classic or more trendy and won't hold up in say 5 years time?

  • @Sari.T.N
    @Sari.T.N Před 5 lety +1

    They are both lovely 😊
    I have the LouLou backpack... in black and I LOVE it. I wanted a casual bag and it’s perfect. I will say that the wrinkling you mentioned - I noticed the same thing on my bag in about the same place - near the snap and logo.
    It’s not a big deal ... it doesn’t change the line/look of the bag ... it’s just there.
    I’m very impressed with YSL. Great video Elle. 😊

  • @donnapoteat7963
    @donnapoteat7963 Před 5 lety +4

    • @ireneang1115
      @ireneang1115 Před 4 lety

      What's exact name color of the Loulou medium bag?

  • @carolin2544
    @carolin2544 Před 5 lety +6

    i love the college, but the noise the lou lou's chain makes when it's going through the eyelets is super satisfying in my opinion. would probably play around the chain all day 😅

    • @ElleFlorence
      @ElleFlorence  Před 5 lety +3

      Yes! It’s the little things haha

    • @ireneang1115
      @ireneang1115 Před 4 lety

      The burgundy loulou so pretty, may I ask the exact color name of it? I couldn't find it at ysl.com but there is one color and it is legion red, not sure if that same as the burgundy .

  • @KathyTamburri
    @KathyTamburri Před 5 lety +2

    Great video! I have commented on the de-puffing of the LouLou in a previous video only because mine has remained firm and I agree that it adds to her charm. YSL make divine handbags and you should totally buy the small nude with gold hardware next, so chic and lovely on your feminine frame. Loving the pearls and your make up in this video too gorgeous one.

  • @natalyaginsburg9866
    @natalyaginsburg9866 Před 5 lety +1

    I can’t choose between dark grey loulou or black loulou with silver ! What would you recommend ? 😊

  • @stephaniemichaels8286
    @stephaniemichaels8286 Před 5 lety

    Great comparison, Elle! I think my next bag is going to be the Lou Lou in turquoise with silver hardware. I’ve only seen it at Neimans in that combination and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. I love the college but at 5’1 I’m not a fan of the drop. Thanks for the great video :-)

  • @leannew.6140

      @mindbodysoul8214 Před 5 lety

    @carriehsieh843 Před 5 lety +1

    Thank you for the review! I came across this as I am looking to get a Saint Laurent Loulou (large or medium). I am curious if you find it heavy to wear day to day? I want it as my work bag but am slightly hesitant that it may be too heavy on my shoulder daily. Thanks!

  • @uw5857

  • @suzannehall5200
    @suzannehall5200 Před 5 lety

    They are both beautiful bags. I prefer the collage because it looks more structured and put together. But I wouldn't buy one because the strap isn't long enough to wear cross body. I have a bad shoulder so wearing a bag of that size on one shoulder is never going to happen. Pity, because it's so beautiful but that lack of a cross body strap is a show stopper for me.

  • @vj3079

  • @dianeb2349
    @dianeb2349 Před 5 lety +5

    😢😢😢 I have said goodbye to my beloved college. I adored it. Bought it in July 2017 and had issues with it a few months later. Didn’t go back to the boutique until October 2018. They sent it back to Italy. The main issue was the quality of the leather. I got a new bag and less than three months later even worse. Horrible quality. Took her back again little over a week ago and awaiting a reply from customer service. I’ll probably get store credit and I won’t repurchase the college again. I am kind of done after the complaints I’ve had. I’ll get something else this time.

    • @dianeb2349
      @dianeb2349 Před 5 lety +1

      J Mac real shame right. It’s strange. Should be two different batches I think. One I got in July 2017 and the new one in October 2018. Both bad quality.

  • @helenleung4235
    @helenleung4235 Před 4 lety

    Thank you for sharing this video. I am a petitte person and I believe even though I get the small Loulou, the chain will still be too long for me. Is the chain adjustable?

  • @gooffie29
    @gooffie29 Před 4 lety

    I really love the burgundy/ maroon color of YSL but never pull a trigger yet because I'm not sure it will be more suitable for only fall/winter time? What is your experience? Do you find it difficult to wear in spring/summer?

  • @lovelycorinne

      @mscocobelle Před 5 lety +1
