I took the plunge and bought the YSL Loulou toy bag!

eeekk!! I've lusted over these bags since their release and although I would have LOVED the regular sized bag, I couldn't justify £2230... plus my DH would have probably divorced me!

I treated myself to the dark beige shade, but I was wondering.... can you get a metal chain for it opposed to the leather strap? I'd love to mix it up a bit! I couldn't see any straps for sale on the main website, but googling brought up Etsy but no straps in the dark beige :(

I liked your first bag but I am always cautious of light coloured leathers. It doesn't hold much hope if straight out the box it had a mark.
Also love your LV I fancy it in the empriente but not sure if I could travel that light.
Enjoy your new bag and all your other bags too 😃

I'm back again..... guess what? 🤦🏻‍♀️

@RicciardoPerez ooh what do you have there?! That's some rather nice smooshy leather😊
Did you keep your LV too?

PegasusReturns · 27/07/2023 07:27

Is that the quilted Y in olive - it’s gorgeous!

I recently bought the toy puffer in cream, but tbh it’s too small and I don’t get any use out of it - it’s a regret purchase.

Crazydogmumma · 27/07/2023 07:39

Love that colour! 😍 What strap does it have?

TeriblePerson · 27/07/2023 07:42

They're both beautiful!

LimeCheesecake · 27/07/2023 08:08

Now that is a “work horse” bag colour for autumn / winter - it will look good with so many different outfits, you can get away with carrying it with a more casual outfit and also dressed up.

my gosh I’m jealous!!

Eloweeese · 27/07/2023 10:08

One of my girls has that bag. It's lovely. Her favourite. Good choice

RicciardoPerez · 27/07/2023 12:50

Thank you :) it's actually black with the black strap.

Yes I kept my LV too lol! Surprised DH hasn't filed for divorce yet lol!

I'm not usually a fan of LV bags/purses but I love the bag you posted on 14th July. The interior is lovely colour.

AdoraBell · 27/07/2023 12:58

Lovely 😊 hope you enjoy it.

Same here, OPs is beautiful but not usually a fan!

Love both your bags OP, enjoy them :)

But if you've already got lots of bags why did you need another one?
I have one handbag.

Then you're in the wrong chat group surely...

For the person who responded to the why have so many bags question with 'I assume you have more than one pair of knickers', I bet most people's knickers don't cost over £1k a pair! Also I assume most people don't pay over a grand every other week on a handbag. There's liking handbags and then there is being over the top.

Thank you for your reply, however I think it is worth noting that I will spend my money how I please. If you don't like it then that's your problem, not mine.

Have a nice day.

I honestly thought same, I've never liked LV because I dislike the monogram print but that's lovely to the point that I think I might like one...

It's none of your business though is it, people can spend their money as they chose and there's no obligation for you to read these threads let alone respond to them. I have quite a few designer bags because I love them, i could afford them, I look after them and get a lot of use out of them. Beyond the absolute basics in life you could question why doesn't anyone buy x.

PegasusReturns · 27/07/2023 17:28

@toomuchlaundry people can spend their money on what they like.

Attempting to police how a woman spends her money is the height of misogyny.

toomuchlaundry · 27/07/2023 17:51

@PegasusReturns I would feel the same about a man spending £1k a fortnight on clothes, accessories etc, especially when a high number of these items are made by very low paid workers

RicciardoPerez · 27/07/2023 18:08

@toomuchlaundry you don't know my circumstances. For all you know, I could have won the postcode lottery! I haven't but that's beside the point

OP posts:
PegasusReturns · 27/07/2023 19:23

@toomuchlaundry yet here you are on a thread full of women, sniping at them.

FWIW most luxury handbags including LV and YSL are made by well paid skilled workers in Europe, making them a much better purchase morally, ethically and environmentally than a bag from the high street. But I guess it’s not as much fun criticising the majority.

Elevenutionary · 27/07/2023 21:48

Beautiful bags OP. I’ve loved the YSL for so long! I’m a little envious but I will live vicariously through you! Enjoy them both. Fab purchases.

I buy my bags mostly from Charity Shops and I buy them because I like them and they're in my budget.
If I had the money I would buy really lovely handbags et al.
Nobody's else's business what people choose to spend their money on.

Would you use the same handbag for popping to Lidl as you would for attending your nieces wedding? Bizarre.
