I’m probably the only person on the planet that isn’t a fan of the Icare - it’s too big, it’s too expensive for what it is and I don’t think it has staying power. Maybe if they do it in a smaller size I would consider. But if you love it keep it!
@@ladyfrance3 I agree - I also think that the wear and tear on that thing will be bad! It’s already being shipped to customers with creases! Just a no from me all around. I definitely see why people like the way it looks though!
@@pursecrazed138 yep. I had a crush on that bag. Then went to a saint Laurent store when I travelled to Barcelona. The leather and the flow of that bag is amazing, really nice bag…but it was very big for my frame and I realized I couldn’t use it as an every day bag.
I fell in love with that bag the minute I saw it! It is totally one of those ridiculous bags that you either love or hate, but even though I'm very petite, I've always loved huge tote bags & that one stole my heart. I just think that the huge hardware would eventually get on my nerves plus I thought it was ridiculously expensive at it's old price & much more now with the new price increase in the U.S. It does seem very different to everything else you own since you seem to prefer smaller, structured bags.
I was eyeing the Niki or Loulou for my birthday Nov 5 (US) and once I saw the price increase I ended up walking directly across the way to Dior and got the black Saddle bag 🥰
Send the bag back I have the same bag purchased last yr and its perfect you deserve nothing Less thankyou for you amazing advice you have made me confidentin purchasing bags with your info xx
Just FYI, it's not the iCare, it's the Icare (pronounced ee-car) - french for Icarus. I suppose because the shape of the bag looks like the wing Icarus made and used to fly.
I love my Icare Maxi and I’m sure you will love her too!!! I got mine before both price increases and I would never sell this one. It’s so easy to use and have used and abused it and no wear or tear!
Yes I figured the Ysl tote would be revealed. But I’m super interested in how the bag preforms so please keep us updated. I’m eyeing it as a future boujee diaper bag. 😅
In Japan the small Loulou is actually selling for 2225 pounds due to the exchange rate. The yen is the lowest it's been in 20+ years. Just some food for thought if you ever think about traveling here. 😅
Icare is stunning! so!! happy for you. Dont change your mind. It needs an organizer to give structure. Give her a chance🙏she isnt an every day tote but great travel weekender bag. Might seem ridiculous but when not using, its gorgeous decor (if makes sense) I understand the love to repeat a bag different size/color but also look at this! bag and see the versatility. I hope you do. Best wishes whatever you decide. I drool over this bag if you can tell Lol
I got the white loulou too and the wrinkles were too much for me so I returned. I’ve bought it in black and beige with no wrinkles so may just be that colour/leather combo. Love the icare maxi though 🥰
Lovely purchase.!!!! I personally love the Maxi,bought it in Italy a month ago and I have used it several times already. The pouch is so practical specially if you are travelling, It is a keeper for sure. The LouLou is definitely a keeper as well, you just need to exchange it, the colour is gorgeous.....bought the Sunset in blanc vintage and it's simply elegant. ENJOY THEM IN GOOD HEALTH!!!! 🤗🌹
I am exiting the designer handbag game. I loved bags before they were “it” and always dreamed of owning a cc classic flap. I just can’t keep up and now feel like it’s a ridiculous frenzy the way every brand is increasing prices while quality suffers.
I love the iCare tote! I would definitely keep it. If you return it then regret returning it later on, it will cost you a lot more now to replace! The LouLou definitely needs to be returned!!
I guessed both bags, but wow that LouLou. Before you even said it i noticed the wrinkled leather. I would definitely send back. Such a shame. The i care maxi tote… i am so torn. I do think it’s gorgeous, but the price point is a bit crazy. The cosmetics pouch it comes with 100% should have some YSL hardware it would have made it so special. I’m not gonna lie… the coffee cup wins it for me 😂
I'm glad it's not just me Melisa! I'm not very picky really when it comes to details, I know the bags are to be used but this one really does look bag! Never seen one this bad before so it is definitely being exchanged. I'm also still torn, I might see if I reach for it in the next few weeks. haha the coffee mug is cute!
Love the loulou but such ashame about the wrinkles! You need to exchange it and keep it as love the vintage blanc! She is beautiful and the loulou is usually so smooth and robust! I do love the icare on other people but not for me as I am tiny! I think you will style it well xxx
Wish people would stop panic buying when it comes to luxury handbags and treasure health, family, and genuine friends instead. Those are hard to come by. I'm speaking from someone who is done playing the catch up games with these luxury houses. They will always release new collections whether we like the price or not. 🤣😂 All love here ❤️
I knew you were getting that white one. I have the small loulou puffer in the white and it’s such a great bag! The leather does look wrinkled. I think it may be from where the logo is put on. I have this bag also in the dark beige leather and the flap is perfect so definitely get another one. If ysl won’t let you exchange it, just buy another one at todays prices and keep the one that you like best and just use the return label for the more expensive bag. It’s the same bag so it should not matter which one you send back as long as you use the correct return label.
I love the maxi shopper tote! I believe it will age very well and 10 years from now you’ll still be able to rock it - like the Chanel GST. ✨ That coffee cup is so cool! Now I want one 😅 have a great weekend, I love your videos and content 🤩
I guessed you'd order the big tote. I wouldn't keep it because of the size of it,also the handles are too short. I do like the Loulou in white, lovely purchase.
I was at Charles. D Airport (Paris) , the princes were incredibly cheaper than Canada! I went to buy YSL belt I and up buying it + the small envelope bag (white + gold ) !! So gorgeous and I saved a lot! A lot! I'm so happy to have it ! So chic and classy 🥰
I have the vintage white with gold hardware and I noticed once i got the bag the the textured of the leather is different from my other loulou but i think i prefer it that way i feel like the leather is much more smoother and durable and more squishy , and wears much nicely overtime than my other loulou i dont know this os because the bag is white and they wanted a different leather so it could more nicely. But overall great choice you wont regret it❤
Jeezzzzzzzz!! I bought my Small Loulou in Sept 2021 (right before the Oct 2021 price increase) for US$2150, now it’s US$2950??!! It’s absolutely ridiculous how much they went up!!! Honestly I love my Loulou but I am NOTTT paying for the bags that I own in its new prices 😅😅😅
I ordered the small loulou 6pm Sunday. Price increase hit that Tuesday!!!! But my flap has the "wrinkle" just a smidge in 2 places on the flap. Near the V/logo area. I thought I was crazy so I just went with it. now I'm regretting because you're seeing it on yours too!!! 😭 I should have just said something. No reason to feel bad about wanting your $3000 bag to be perfect. Live and learn.
Can I tell yah? Got my iCare bag in Paris in September. With the strong dollar plus the refund, I was able to get it for $3k. Now it sells at almost $5k here and with the US sales tax, it would total to $400 more or almost double of what I spent in Paris. It’s ridiculous. I love this tote and the leather is soft. Glad I was able to save $2.5k. Keep it!
My husband was traveling thru Copenhagen just before the increase & purchased a Lou camera bag & card holder for me. After exchange & VAT it was about half of what I’d pay in the US (California). So happy to have them. I did predict both. If you can exchange the Loulou at a store then you can pick out the replacement. YSL online sent me a Fragment card case that the zipper literally fell apart with no use. Exchange at a store was very easy. Best of luck!
The Icare is personally not my style, but the leather does look absolutely gorgeous. If you like it, you should definitely keep it. That’s such a bummer about the Loulou! I’d exchange it and get a replacement as I know that you’ve been wanting it for a long time. I bought my small blanc Loulou preloved (I spent about $1400 USD) and it was absolutely perfect! Hopefully the replacement will be perfect for you!
Hi Steph, it seems like you've mentioned getting the least wear out of your larger bags so I agree you must have been heavily influenced to get the Icare bag. If we love something that gives us joy even though we have little need for it, it's perfectly okay to have just for the beauty or whimsy of it. On the other hand, you've become focused on acquiring a Birkin, and having that money already on hand should the right one become available would be lovely too. Wished we could have seen you style the Icare.
I love that Icare Maxi. I was at Versailles yeterday and a woman was carrying it while wearing a citron/limegreeen light midi puffer jacket and she looked amazing. I’ve loved it since I saw it online but it’s just too expensive for me. I know you’re disappointed in the white Loulou, you should definitely return it if you’re not happy with it. I personally like that the flap has the wrinkles and the grain. There’s a beauty to that naturalness, imo. There’s always something for everybody!
The demand for leather is such that maisons (which effectively operate the farms now) will kill the calf at a younger age, maybe a few months old vs 8-12 months. This is likely the reason for the wrinkles. Shop Govanhi.
I would exchange the Loulou for a new one at the boutique and return the huge icare maxi. I feel it will be dated in a couple of years. And could the logo scream YSL any louder?!
I knew as soon as I saw that big ol’ box, that it was the icare! 😂 Love it! I can’t believe the price increased by nearly a grand though! I remember when it first came out it was $3600…sigh. I was thinking the Loulou was going to be the Cassandra!
I had the maxi shopper tote for a hot minute when my husband surprised me with it just a few weeks ago for my birthday and it is very gorgeous!! However it looked rather silly on be being that it's so big! I exchanged it for the smaller college bag which I adore! And I still have money left on a gift card for another bag!
Hey Lori! Yes you’re totally right it is very big AND because it’s so $$$ you can almost get 2 bags for the same price. Still debating what to do with it
I'd return or exchange the LouLou bag too with the mix-match in leather textures. I just got the Icare Maxi bag and love it! The only reason why I considered returning it was because of the price. I rationalized that I loved the bag, keep it especially knowing the prices will only increase even more over time. Took the plunge and glad I did.
Oh, Steph!! I'm so sorry about your bag! I was considering the one in blk that's on Sak's on sale but they are beautiful but the nature of the leather it will wrinkle & crinkle & being that big will sag. Luv the smooth leather but caviar is so much safer. That's prob. why the suede is more expensive & looks best in that size Lou. Thank you for sharing bc now I can let go of that one all together. Luv luv luv the Maxi!!! And the cup! What you get for the $$$ on the Maxi & the longevity is on point. Good show!!
I also purchased the Icare as a panic buy pre-price increase. I love the look of the bag and lambskin is to die for but I hate that it slips off the shoulder 😩 may need to return it for that reason 😢
Which Ysl bag is best for everyday in terms of size durability? (it’s my 1st designer bag at this price point) so far I’m between medium sunset and camera bag. I’d rather have sunset but afraid of scratches.
Buying Saint Laurent from the official website was a nightmare for me. Bought two bags, the small black puffer came with peeling handles, the other small dark honey puffer came in the wrong size (was given a medium puffer instead - baffling really). Exchanged both of them. The exchanged small black puffer came with scratch marks and I was given another medium dark honey puffer again! I was so exasperated that I ended up buying on another website instead.
Another great video, haven't shopped at saint laurent in a while, but this video is making think twice. Love the icare bag but the price is just wow 👀👀👀 .. Will try to find it on the preloved market .. I also want a white bag, but I've been checking out the sunset 😍😍
Aww I was hoping it would be a sherling one, i think it would suit your style. I'll be honest I would return both. I think the icare is far too big and bordering on ridiculously sized, and the price is hideous. The Loulou I would return for the wrinkles no doubt about it. I am for sure not a lover of YSL. I don't think they can justify these price increases. 🤔
Yeah the Loulou looks pretty rough. I had the exact same issue with the toy Loulou a couple years ago. I ended up exchanging 3x and never received one that I found acceptable so I just moved on unfortunately. Hope you find one that’s up to standard or maybe you decide, like me, to just move on. I like the iCare much more. Love the Olsen twin vibe. ❤️
The LouLou has always been fraught with problems. I’ve return at least three of them for having flaps that weren’t attached evenly. One side of the flap stuck out further than the other. So visible, so easily avoided or fixed.
i don’t like the icare. not a fan of the shape, reminds me of a big apl slide shoe or something and the ysl is ginormous! the lou lou is super cute but i’d love to know how that leather holds up with stains, marks, daily wear, etc.
I love the ICareMaxi. Unfortunately I think it’s $4900 now, or some such thing. I will be interested to see how long you keep it since you are a small bag lover, lol.
I’m probably the only person on the planet that isn’t a fan of the Icare - it’s too big, it’s too expensive for what it is and I don’t think it has staying power. Maybe if they do it in a smaller size I would consider. But if you love it keep it!
Exactly. I wish they will release a smaller size too! Cause paying 3900 euros for a travel bag is a big no for me 😁.

@@Handbagholic no scratches anywhere in the lambskin or the logo - it’s great casual or dressed up - I think you made a great purchase 😊
The big bag is EVERYTHING!! Love it !
Yassss haha Glad you like it Lisa
I really like the large shopper tote, especially using the chain! That one’s a keeper!
I love the YSL Icare bag. Looks like it will be great for travel or just when you need a large shopper bag for a day out shopping ❤❤❤
Yes I figured the Ysl tote would be revealed. But I’m super interested in how the bag preforms so please keep us updated. I’m eyeing it as a future boujee diaper bag. 😅
I bought the small lou lou in black with black hardware before the price increase. So glad that I did.

Thanks Carola! Any scratches to the iCare or is yours holding up well?
Good question, it is doing very well so far. Perhaps more time is needed to have a better evaluation. Take care for now 🤗
I knew it was that YSL tote! I want one…❤
I like the Icare, but I would prefer it with silver or dark hardware
Icare maxi is a keeper!!!
Yay for the mug, I have one too! :)

I am so happy that you finally got the icare maxi, I watched your vlogos a lot when I decided to get mine in the summer.
How is yours wearing? Do you enjoy using it?
Love the icare
I have figured out that you would buy it! Looks great
Hehe it was never a question as soon as I saw it, perfect little bag for me. Thanks for commenting

return the white one and try always buy instore if you can, so you see exactly what your getting.
of course send the LouLou back----I can't imagine using that huge bag, but hey, to each her own.
Yes return the leather Lou Lou and request another one.
Thanks Ronnie I have done they said they will exchange it
I can totally see the wrinkles on the Lou-Lou bag☹️. I would definitely return it.

That coffee cup is so cool! Now I want one 😅 have a great weekend, I love your videos and content 🤩
So glad you like! Appreciate your support
ICare maxi is my dream bag!
🙌🙌
Keep the iCare, it's stunning and great to throw in a change of clothes / overnighter 😀 the LouLou I would exchange for the same but wrinkle free 😉
My medium Loulou doesn’t have this problem at all - return it immediately🙌🏻
Thanks! I know I’ve never seen one this bad before
shame about the wrinkling on the white bag and also was not expecting the icare maxi! Its not my cup of tea personally but it's very current ahaha
I guessed you'd order the big tote. I wouldn't keep it because of the size of it,also the handles are too short.
I do like the Loulou in white, lovely purchase.
Oooooooooo you went for the I-Care ! I love the small Lou Lou in the cream - hope you can find one in better condition as it’s gorj !
Yes yes yes to YSL icaro bag 😍
Excited to see what’s coming up!
hehe, did you guess right?!
@@Handbagholic yes for the LouLou 🙈
I was at Charles. D Airport (Paris) , the princes were incredibly cheaper than Canada! I went to buy YSL belt I and up buying it + the small envelope bag (white + gold ) !! So gorgeous and I saved a lot! A lot! I'm so happy to have it ! So chic and classy 🥰
What are you doing with the iCare bag for?? Why do you need it for since you are working from home now.
I know 😄 it was a panic buy! I was thinking maybe trips to London or something
@@Handbagholic buy for the sake buying .. then have to justify the use for it or let it be a white elephant. 🙄
I have the vintage white with gold hardware and I noticed once i got the bag the the textured of the leather is different from my other loulou but i think i prefer it that way i feel like the leather is much more smoother and durable and more squishy , and wears much nicely overtime than my other loulou i dont know this os because the bag is white and they wanted a different leather so it could more nicely. But overall great choice you wont regret it❤
I like the big bag! But I love big bags. Not crazy about the white one. Love your videos, thanks Kathleen 😊

Which Ysl bag is best for everyday in terms of size durability? (it’s my 1st designer bag at this price point) so far I’m between medium sunset and camera bag. I’d rather have sunset but afraid of scratches.

Oh dear that’s not good! Not hard to get right is it, Zara does a better job!
Love all your purchases. It’s great to have something totally different too. Such a shame about the white bag though 😢
I know! Frustrating that I’ve now got to sort that, it would have been nice to get a good one from the beginning
I really hope that they'll exchange the Lou Lou for you. I love the iCare! x
They have agreed to exchange it! Xx
@@Handbagholic I'm delighted because it's a gorgeous bag! x
Another great video, haven't shopped at saint laurent in a while, but this video is making think twice. Love the icare bag but the price is just wow 👀👀👀 .. Will try to find it on the preloved market .. I also want a white bag, but I've been checking out the sunset 😍😍
ySL maxi s d beat in these bags u purchased, that will last forever & very functional 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❌♥️❌♥️♥️
Love both bags, guessed those were the 2 you purchased. Very sad quality issue with the Lou Lou. I would absolutely exchange for a different one.
Aww I was hoping it would be a sherling one, i think it would suit your style. I'll be honest I would return both. I think the icare is far too big and bordering on ridiculously sized, and the price is hideous. The Loulou I would return for the wrinkles no doubt about it. I am for sure not a lover of YSL. I don't think they can justify these price increases. 🤔
Yeah the Loulou looks pretty rough. I had the exact same issue with the toy Loulou a couple years ago. I ended up exchanging 3x and never received one that I found acceptable so I just moved on unfortunately. Hope you find one that’s up to standard or maybe you decide, like me, to just move on. I like the iCare much more. Love the Olsen twin vibe. ❤️
I had a feeling about both when it was a triple unboxing, it’s such a shame about the crinkled leather hope you can exchange ❤
The LouLou has always been fraught with problems. I’ve return at least three of them for having flaps that weren’t attached evenly. One side of the flap stuck out further than the other. So visible, so easily avoided or fixed.
i don’t like the icare. not a fan of the shape, reminds me of a big apl slide shoe or something and the ysl is ginormous! the lou lou is super cute but i’d love to know how that leather holds up with stains, marks, daily wear, etc.
I guessed the iCARE maxi but not the Lou Lou, I was hoping you’d get your green Cassandra bag. I would send the Lou Lou back too
The Icare is so pretty. 🥰 I've seen it in person. It's just too big for me.
It is a big bag for sure
I think the logo on Icare is too much but u can flip it to face in… I’m glad it’s not a Sherpa bag tho! 😂 Ooph II was scared for a minute 😂
For the price of the Icare they should of put a logo on the pouch
Yes that would be great then it would feel more like 2 bags for the price of one, help to justify the price!
Love the bags
I have the icare bag and I love it… ❤
Thanks! No scratches on the leather?
@@Handbagholic not yeti.. I have traveled with it twice and I hav enjoy really babied it either .. leather still looks good..
I love the ICareMaxi. Unfortunately I think it’s $4900 now, or some such thing.
I will be interested to see how long you keep it since you are a small bag lover, lol.
I thought I’d like the icare until I saw it in person.
Definitely keep the Icare, but return the LouLou. It’s certainly not the quality of leather it should be! Congrats!!
Amazing vlog!✨💞☺️
Thanks Mansoor!
YSL is getting crazy with their prices. I’m in the US and paying almost $3000 I’d add to it and get the shopper.
Yes I see the wrinkles on the flap 🥺
