As many of you who are into luxury bags know, new pieces often come and go. My collection has evolved over the years to include pieces that I truly love and will probably never part with. One such piece is the Saint Laurent Loulou Toy bag, a staple in my wardrobe. If you are still hesitating to pull the trigger, keep reading.
Size and Features: I got this bag in a beautiful, rich navy blue. I wanted something casual and understated, so I chose the silver hardware. This crossbody version is the smallest of the Loulou bags, yet it’s quite roomy; my iPhone 15 Pro Max fits perfectly. Another plus is that it has lots of compartments, so you can skip the cardholder if you want. It also comes with an adjustable and detachable strap, allowing it to be used as a clutch.
Buying Process: I purchased it brand new from Farfetch with a small discount since it was my first purchase on the site.
Delivery: The package was shipped within three working days, and everything went smoothly.
Care and Protection: This is one of my go-to bags, especially during winter, as it’s practical and the strap is long enough to wear with thick coats. I don’t baby this bag like some others; I just keep it in its dust bag and ensure it’s stored in a way that avoids pressure and deformation. So far, it still looks like new!
Cons: Honestly, there aren’t many negative things to say about this bag. However, it’s important to be careful when handling it due to its soft leather. In my view, this leather is more scratch-resistant than lambskin. On the other hand, this bag does not retain its value well in the second-hand market, which means you can find good deals on resale platforms. This can be positive or negative, depending on your perspective
Would I Buy It Again? Absolutely. This is an amazing bag. I love its structure, buttery soft quilted leather, and style. As I mentioned, it’s very functional, and the navy color matches almost any dark-toned outfit.
Styling Tips: There are so many ways to style this bag. While I mostly use it during the colder seasons, it would look great with a pair of white balloon jeans, a light blue button-down shirt, and a pair of espadrilles.
Recommendation for Pre-loved Purchase: f you’re hunting for one of these and want a good deal, I recommend checking second-hand platforms like Vestiaire Collective. Sites like this guarantee authenticity and ensure the bag matches the condition described. So go for it, girl!
