Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good websites or places to find *jklux* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior. I have to say, my heart broke a little when you said “Oh, Prada does these as well”, regarding the serial number. (I’m a nurse, so I probably shouldn’t even dream about owning a Birkin, but I bought my first Prada earlier this year and I was so proud of it. Now it feels a bit like Dollar General ).
12:30 I feel the same, it bag of the moment or not idgafff lol I got my red antigona when nobody was talking about it and still love and wear it when I want :)) your Antigona is absolutely gorgeous .. that color! I saw Hailey Bieber wear it and fell in love
That new color in the Antigona is beautiful. Yours is very nice too. I love mine in black. It’s such a beautiful design, so well made and I love the shape.
Hello, I’ve only seen the classic Speedy 30 and 35 on the website here in the states. I can’t find the classic 25 online. I’m glad I have the classic monogram in the 25 size.😊
When I Was first "getting into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a *jklux* . I wasn't trying to show off, or brag, or pass it off as the real thing, I just wanted to see if it would fit what I wanted it to and how it would live with me (without the SA staring at you) before I shelled out the money for the real thing. As it turns out, it wasn't for me. Saved myself a good chunk of change and time returning it.
I prefer the original LouLou. I have two - a black with black hardware and a multi-color plaid. I love them and don't care if they are out of style. I was in LV during the holidays and inquired about the Speedy. The SA said they were only available with the strap. That leads me to believe the original is discontinued. Thanks for sharing the latest handbag updates! 😀👛
Hello Hanna! Happy new year! I searched on the german LV website and did not find a classic Speedy nor the "mon monogram" section where you could personalize a classic Speedy in the past. I think, this is a shame! Imagine Hermès giving their Birkin a strap and throwing the classic out - for me, it is the same thing! I am also disappointed about the changes on the toy Loulou bag...I love the classic shape and always had it in the back of my mind to maybe get one one day. I also considered the toy Loulou as a classic to YSL. Hmm...I don't really like where the fashion houses are going! 🤷♀️
Interesting video, thanks for sharing. I absolutely love your Givenchy bag, the style & colour, that's a forever bag if it was in my collection. I love the lv speedy B DE, which I hope to own one day ❤❤
I have the original Loulou too and tbh I prefer it to the new version and I also love that it’s in calf skin as it’s still so soft but the wear and tear has been amazing! The speedy isn’t on the UK site either 🤔
Would you feel comfortable providing the LV Boutique location in NY, and the first name of your sales associate? I have been looking for a classic Speed 25, and I can't find one on the website, nor in my local boutique; I would like one, and if I have to have it shipped from NY, then I will do that. Thank you. I do NOT like the changes to the YSL Lulu; I am not a fan of their heavy chains. I like light weight bags😊
I preferred the old YSL darling, it was so cute and a perfect alternative to the Chanel square mini. As for the speedy, it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped the speedy without a shoulder strap, in fact with the shoulder strap they cost more ! On the French site the classic speedy is not available. Have a nice day :)
Good point! The YSL toy loulou was a great alternative to the Chanel square mini. I hadn’t thought of that! As for the speedy, I agree - LV is likely making more money off the bandouliere style nowadays so perhaps they don’t find it worth continuing to produce the classic speedy anymore. Thanks for sharing what you see on the French site.
Nothing we can do about fakes…I could care less how many people have the same bag as myself…that makes it really spoken for.. I hate when people say they don’t want a certain purse because everyone has it….well everyone has a hole are we gonna get rid of ours because of that? Everyone one does something different with their *jklux* for example their style, your style will set you apart.
I can see the classic speedy 30 in DE but it does say notify me. I don’t see the Azur or monogram print. I don’t see any classic 25’s. Interesting. I have 2 antigona’s in small size. One is a beautiful blue not a navy but it is deep and bright blue. The other is the caramel or tan color. I use both and will continue whether they are in style or not. To me they are classic.
I agree the Antigona is still a great price! I got mine preloved last year. Actually I traded it with my classic speedy 25 and it’s one of my most used bags now. It’s such a worry free easy bag to use. Thanks for all the updates! 🖤🖤🖤
In Australia we have no classic speedys on the website, they are all speedy b. I went to a boutique this month to buy my first speedy and was only able to get the speedy b and was told by the CA that they don’t do them without the strap. Given a choice I would have purchased a classic, that said, I added the strap at a shoulder carry length and have been carrying it shoulder length often. Seems like they have kept the classics in America for now.
I have the Toy YSL Loulou same model as you and I love it. The leather has worn beautifully. I also love the antigona. I buy bags forever I don’t care what’s trending or not, I buy if I love it!
Really, let the truth be told, any luxury good to include handags can be found outside of the authentic maker. Who cares what the next person decided to spend their money on, or the next person decided not to spend their money on. Because I see the person in line in front of me carrying a *jklux* of a style/brand that I love doesn’t stop me from purchasing the authentic bag, if I wanted it.
Totally agree with you that I personally think the Antigona is a classic shape and classic bag. I’ve been collecting bags for over a decade and I finally bought one last month in the shiny calfskin black. Got it brand new from a European website on sale for $1150. What a great value in a climate where bags have become so overpriced.
I definitely Loved the video it’s really good!!! I have to say imo, I understand why people say they wouldn’t care about people buying dupes or fakes or why should people care. BUT, It’s not that necessarily people “care” about people having fakes, it’s the fact that people that have money to buy into luxury and invest it’s for a reason. Quality, quantity, and yes buying luxury as exclusivities. Because if I have the money, enjoy fashion, and the house brand etc. It’s not that I’m “bothered” by people buying dupes or fakes, but if I invest my hard earned money into that item, I wouldn’t want to buy that brand, or bag, or design and find something more than fit into my needs and wants as *jklux* . And nothing is wrong with that.
I love my toy lou lou. Been with me since 2021 and I have used it everytime I go traveling because it’s very convenient and light and It’s magically fit a lot of stuff. Not to mention like you said, you don’t have to baby it because of the calf skin.
LV will discontinue the Speedy when Chanel does the same for the Classic Flap. 😂. Heard the same thing about the mini Pochette pouch years ago and I did have to source on from another state. When it was available again on the website, the price increase was a lot. Btw, love the Antigona. That shape is so classic. It’s still on my list to acquire.
Hi, that was me! I commented that the classic Speedy is discontinued. I’m in the US and I heard rumors of this all last year, then I tried to buy one in any size in Spain and was told they’re no longer in stock anywhere in Europe, though not sure he can see all of Europe inventory. What he inferred was that it is being replaced by the more expensive redesigned Speedy where the side bag straps are missing and the bag strap will be clipped on the top like the Soft Speedy. I have also seen other signs it’s discontinued but won’t mention it now. Thanks for following up with this video!
So you mean like the new designs that are out now without the line down the side? I can see that happening. I have an OG one and the tab is the one thing that gets so dirty so I'm extra careful with it.
@jtw22 yes, exactly! Where the side of the bag leather is no longer there. This I can’t confirm 100% because the SA stopped himself from saying too much lol. And as we know LV info is kept closely and can change. I did find one of the last Speedy 30 Monogram bags in a US store in 2024 but passed because it was so wrinkled, little did I know they were nearly gone then.
I’m glad you had commented earlier because that motivated me to dig a bit deeper. It’s still a mystery but appreciate everything you shared!! Seems sales associates are either misinformed or possibly instructed not to say too much.
@@hellocatwalkcity Yes so true, some know and can’t say, while others learn LV news from our social media! 😂 Love your contributions to helping smart shoppers 🥰♥️
I just bought YSL in an outlet in velvet olive green in Asia. It was so beautiful, but just 2x wearing velvet wore-out easily. So I went to the retail store to ask and complain and learned it was a discontinued style. So much to my schock they won’t accept bag bought in the outlet. After further discussion, they took it back and send to repair. I hope to get feedback after 3mos. Hopefully repair went well 🙏 on the side, I hope YSL kept this bag design thou, a cute small bag that contains all essentials.
I have the classic speedy 30 in DE and love it, but have not worn it often. It is a great size for my silhouette as a hand carry. The Speedy B 25 would be the best size for me if using the strap. It would be a shame if they were discontinuing the classic style for this reason. Every time I take out my black box leather Antigona, it makes me happy that I purchased it. I got it in the small since it's my most used bag in winter. It's such a sophisticated bag. That gold on tan one is so tempting, but I'm in my "enjoy what I have" year. :)
Everything you’re saying about the Speedy 30 is pointing to it being discontinued. If her stock was full, but it’s not on the website, they are likely discontinuing it. I’m glad I found your video in time. Fashionfile reached out to me to buy mine back and I was considering it. Now that I’ve seen your video, I’m going to keep it.
I just helped a friend get an original toy LouLou. Some department stores still carry it but not the black on black (logo) like the one I have she wanted wasn’t available, I found them on Net-a-Porter and My Theresa, she was about to order one when I discovered Bloomingdales also sells it on their website, online only, and stated it’s sold and shipped by YSL, she ended up ordering from Bloomies, used and got more points, and the bag was shipped directly from YSL warehouse which is in NJ, we’re in NY so she received it the next day.
I have a small loulou and love it, but have been considering the toy size and really prefer the original model so I may need to buy preloved or quickly find a new one before they sell out!
The department store websites like Bloomingdale’s or Neiman Marcus still seem to have the older model available but I imagine once they run out of existing stock, that will be it.
I just purchased the Antigona in the small size and I agree with you on making purchases; I buy what I like and not the trend. Regarding the original speedy, they’re still available in Atlanta,; you just have to ask for one. I was also told, if they don’t have them in store, they can order one for you.
Not sure about the stores but from where I am, Japan only the classic speedy 35 is still available on their website. The rest are Bandoulières. Very likely that the classic speedy bags have been discontinued 🤔
Great video. So the Mini Antigona is definitely making a comeback. I went shopping with my bestie last month and she was wearing hers that she had from years ago, and I asked her why she never wears it, and she said her daughters (who are very chic)had it! Since then, it’s been on my radar, and now since this video I have been down the rabbit hole debating what kind of Min to get! I feel like all of my bags are the grained leather, so the box leather options look so chic. What have you (or anyone) heard on the wear & tear? Thank you so much! LOVE your content. Keep it coming, and Happy New Year to all.
Ooh interesting!! Always a compliment when our daughter takes our stuff, I suppose! 😂 Box leather is generally more prone to scratches but I have other box leather bags and they’re holding up just fine! If you take care of your bags, you should be fine! 😉
The speedys are still on the site in the US. If it’s not popping up normally just type it in the search bar. The Marceau is a bag I wanted for the last two years and it doesn’t pop up on the site the way it’s configured but if you type it in the search on the site it comes up.
Only the bandouliere versions show up. Are you saying you see the classic Speedys? No one else is seeing them. I just tried again using the search bar, nope.
Happy 2025! Thanks for your insightful video:) I am disappointed with the "revamped" YSL mini Lou Lou... Personally I would've preferred if they had offered both versions both NS or EW, this way clients could decide which one they preferred. All in all, I prefer your shape, not only because it can hold more, but it's just cuter. As for LV, I also just checked on the Luxembourg website and the classic speedy is not available, but only the Speedy Bandouliere is available... what a shame. But I guess this is another reason why we should hold on to our classic gems, if we are so fortunate to have them.
The classic 35 in DE in US is available to add to cart when I checked right now. Like someone else posted the 30 in DE is on there as well but is says notify me.
If it's true. I'm glad I have both YSL Black Toy Loulou with gold. I bought it because I can use different straps. I love it. I use it whenever I go to concerts and LV Monogram Speedy 25
On the Australian website, there's only speedy bandoulieres. I'm not too bothered if they get rid of the classic speedy, I like a versatile bag so I want a bag that provides the option of being worn crossbody/shoulder as well as top handle. I have the toy loulou in dark beige and tbh rarely wear it because its too small for me. I don't think YSL should discontinue them, rather they should get rid of that inner divider and come out with fun colours the way Chanel does.
Hello Hannah! Happy New Year 🎉 to u and ur whole family 🤍 I “need” that Anigona, & u’re like me, I don’t care if fashion experts says it’s out of style. That’s what I looove the most, the STYLE & the looks of the bag! Lol 😂 anyways, I hope u have a fab weekend! 😍😍
I love the antigona. I have the mini in croc and I’ve gotten compliments. I don’t care if it’s outdated. It’s beautiful and doesn’t shout luxury. Unless you know your handbags, you wouldn’t be able to tell that the handbag is Givenchy.
Well, I can’t find the Speedy 25 on Singapore site. Only the Bandolier and Murukami. Re the Lulu, I’m not keen on the new design. You are right, they should just design a new bag.
Noo I love the LouLou! I don't have one, but it's always been in the back of my mind. I loved that it had a leather strap. I prefer a full leather strap over the chain ones, and it doesn't seem like YSL offers many small crossbody bags with full leather straps anymore 😕
It’s true, it seems the leather straps are harder to find. They seem to make a lot more bags with chain straps. I’m like you, much prefer the softness and comfort of leather.
I like original speedy much more then bandolier version.For my opinion it doesn't looks right ,and u don't know why will Louis Vuitton will discounted classic speedy.
I had the small Lou Lou and I loved the look but hated that it will fall off my shoulder 😢 I attempted to buy the Givenchy antigona in mini shiny black but it no longer had a leather zipper pull and metal engraved Givenchy. I was so disappointed because it looked cheap. I had 2 small Givenchy I sold (too big for me) and was so disappointed in the design change I returned it and was sad I couldn't get the OG new.
Sorry following up, but now the new classic is the bandoulier. I asked a sales associate at the NYC flagship store mentioning the classic (without the strap) and she pulled up the bandoulier. I asked a few sales associates there and they said the “one without the strap “ has been discontinued for over a year. Go figure 🤷🏻♀️ .
That’s too bad about the new toy Lou Lou design! The old design seems like it would be easier to use & fit more! Also interested to see if LV phases out the original speedy. It’s such a classic style but definitely more user friendly with the strap.
Hi! I love your videos, as always! I think their is a break in communication, even here in the comment section. I think when you asked your SA, she thought you were just saying Speedys (classic) in general but if you would have had her bring you out a bag it would have been with the bandouliere. LV no longer makes without the bandouliere. But when you say "classic speedy" some people dont know you are saying without bandouliere, FYI ❤
No no, I was very clear with my SA and pointed to the Speedy B 25 I was wearing crossbody that day and said “Not this one, I mean, the ones without the strap, the original classic models” and she replied “yes, we have so many in the back!” I even explained that only the bandouliere styles were showing on the website and no classics without the straps, and she was surprised. She understood exactly what I meant.
The Louis Vuitton speedy’s have been around for a hundred years why would they discontinued it now? They will say it’s going to be discontinued then bring it back, and raise the price!
Hi Hannah, how are you? Hope you’re doing well. I just checked the LV Kuwait website because I live in Kuwait, anyway there are no classic speedies all the speedies that I found have the strap attached so I don’t know if they discontinued it or if there’s some in the store, but on the website all the speedies have the shoulder or Crossbody strap attached. Hope that helps. Take care and have a nice day. 😊❤
I bought a toy Lulu a few months ago black with the gold logo. although I think it’s adorable I’m actually kind of regretting getting another black bag. I was thinking that now that it’s discontinued someone might want a square bag. Do you think I could get close to my retail price of 1800 for it? I didn’t really think of selling it but now that it’s discontinued I was wondering if someone might actually prefer the square.
I hope you’re able to sell it for a good price! At the moment, there are quite a lot on the secondhand market like Fashionphile so you may want to wait a bit if you’re not in a rush.
The original sizes were named toy, small, medium, large. Now, the new shorter versions they’ve released are named mini, small, medium, etc. so essentially the new MINI has replaced the old TOY size. Hope that helps.
Haha. Maybe not “hiding” but there were so many new collections on display. They’re probably trying to promote those since the classics historically sold themselves.
The antigona is still a beautiful bag. I love it myself. Agree I don’t think YSL should have made the changes. I have the small size and definitely prefer it over East west. I’m just not a fan of that silhouette on any bag. As for the speedy I think there’s just lots of rumors. It does seem odd that the bags aren’t on the website. Normally that would mean they aren’t available but also why would LV discontinue one of their most popular handbags. I just don’t see it. I guess time will tell. ❤❤
🤔😯😔I personally like your stye YSL, for me, I would prefer space and comfort. I guarantee your bag will be back in style in another 10 to 20 years. Right now that new YSL is what I call a 'test run'. I am sooo with you with no caring with is in or out of style regarding handbags, the only thing that should matter, is what the person is comfortable with😎
Here's what I think is happening - the classic Speedy 30 without the bandouliere/strap has been discontinued. You can still get every kind of speedy on the LV UK website, the 20, 25 and 30, but I think LV has decided not to make the old style ones, without a strap which makes sense. Many people adapt their classic by adding a strap, which it's not designed for, so instead they've decided to make the speedy more versatile by only making the bandouliere style.
Aw I don’t mind you asking! Others have asked along the way. Mainly, I really cherish my privacy and I prefer to focus on the products/content vs on me. Hope that makes sense!

As a LV employee in EUROPE The classic speedy without the bandouliere has been discontinued in all sizes for almost a year now.
Wow. Pinning this comment to the top so others can see. Thank you for sharing.
@@hellocatwalkcityThe speedy is still available on th US website.
Thank you for doing this! Lots of good info.If you can, please list good websites or places to find *jklux* , you know, Hermes is so selective.Also, would love to see something about Lady Dior.

Hello,
I’ve only seen the classic Speedy 30 and 35 on the website here in the states.
I can’t find the classic 25 online.
I’m glad I have the classic monogram in the 25 size.😊
I can only see those 2 in the DE
Speddy 25 is one of my favorite bags. I just love it
Forever Classic
It's funny how people say something is out of style But I guarantee you if it's given to them they will take it😂
You are spot on!

I agree, wear and tear on the LouLou calfskin has been non existent over the years. So glad to hear yours is holding up well too!

I just bought YSL in an outlet in velvet olive green in Asia. It was so beautiful, but just 2x wearing velvet wore-out easily. So I went to the retail store to ask and complain and learned it was a discontinued style. So much to my schock they won’t accept bag bought in the outlet. After further discussion, they took it back and send to repair. I hope to get feedback after 3mos. Hopefully repair went well 🙏 on the side, I hope YSL kept this bag design thou, a cute small bag that contains all essentials.
Velvet olive green! Wow. I’m sure it’s lovely and I hope they’re able to repair it for you.
I am planning to buy a Speedy 25 (not B) this year--I wanted to have it personalized with the stripes. mmmmmm,
I have the classic speedy 30 in DE and love it, but have not worn it often. It is a great size for my silhouette as a hand carry. The Speedy B 25 would be the best size for me if using the strap. It would be a shame if they were discontinuing the classic style for this reason. Every time I take out my black box leather Antigona, it makes me happy that I purchased it. I got it in the small since it's my most used bag in winter. It's such a sophisticated bag. That gold on tan one is so tempting, but I'm in my "enjoy what I have" year. :)
Everything you’re saying about the Speedy 30 is pointing to it being discontinued. If her stock was full, but it’s not on the website, they are likely discontinuing it. I’m glad I found your video in time. Fashionfile reached out to me to buy mine back and I was considering it. Now that I’ve seen your video, I’m going to keep it.
What you’re saying seems logical to me. I wonder if not all the sales associates are aware of the game plan yet.
I believe that’s highly probable.
I just helped a friend get an original toy LouLou. Some department stores still carry it but not the black on black (logo) like the one I have she wanted wasn’t available, I found them on Net-a-Porter and My Theresa, she was about to order one when I discovered Bloomingdales also sells it on their website, online only, and stated it’s sold and shipped by YSL, she ended up ordering from Bloomies, used and got more points, and the bag was shipped directly from YSL warehouse which is in NJ, we’re in NY so she received it the next day.
That’s great! There definitely still is inventory online from the 3rd parties. Glad your friend was able to find the one she wanted!
My CA sent me pictures of their Speedy 25’s a couple days ago. None of them were the classic Speedy’s.
I have a small loulou and love it, but have been considering the toy size and really prefer the original model so I may need to buy preloved or quickly find a new one before they sell out!
The department store websites like Bloomingdale’s or Neiman Marcus still seem to have the older model available but I imagine once they run out of existing stock, that will be it.
I just purchased the Antigona in the small size and I agree with you on making purchases; I buy what I like and not the trend. Regarding the original speedy, they’re still available in Atlanta,; you just have to ask for one. I was also told, if they don’t have them in store, they can order one for you.
It sounds like the information you received in Atlanta is the same information my SA shared in NYC. Good to know and thanks for sharing!
The givenchy mini antigona is still in my wishlist. I love it from years ago till this day
The new brown they released is stunning!
I’m so glad I got the toy Lou Lou before it was discontinued!! This new version is much smaller and looks like not much will fit
Not sure about the stores but from where I am, Japan only the classic speedy 35 is still available on their website. The rest are Bandoulières. Very likely that the classic speedy bags have been discontinued 🤔
Great video. So the Mini Antigona is definitely making a comeback. I went shopping with my bestie last month and she was wearing hers that she had from years ago, and I asked her why she never wears it, and she said her daughters (who are very chic)had it! Since then, it’s been on my radar, and now since this video I have been down the rabbit hole debating what kind of Min to get! I feel like all of my bags are the grained leather, so the box leather options look so chic. What have you (or anyone) heard on the wear & tear? Thank you so much! LOVE your content. Keep it coming, and Happy New Year to all.
Ooh interesting!! Always a compliment when our daughter takes our stuff, I suppose! 😂 Box leather is generally more prone to scratches but I have other box leather bags and they’re holding up just fine! If you take care of your bags, you should be fine! 😉
The speedys are still on the site in the US. If it’s not popping up normally just type it in the search bar. The Marceau is a bag I wanted for the last two years and it doesn’t pop up on the site the way it’s configured but if you type it in the search on the site it comes up.
Only the bandouliere versions show up. Are you saying you see the classic Speedys? No one else is seeing them. I just tried again using the search bar, nope.
Happy 2025! Thanks for your insightful video:) I am disappointed with the "revamped" YSL mini Lou Lou... Personally I would've preferred if they had offered both versions both NS or EW, this way clients could decide which one they preferred. All in all, I prefer your shape, not only because it can hold more, but it's just cuter. As for LV, I also just checked on the Luxembourg website and the classic speedy is not available, but only the Speedy Bandouliere is available... what a shame. But I guess this is another reason why we should hold on to our classic gems, if we are so fortunate to have them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the LouLou and the Speedy mystery! Something is definitely going on with the classic Speedys, it seems.
The classic 35 in DE in US is available to add to cart when I checked right now. Like someone else posted the 30 in DE is on there as well but is says notify me.
I have classic speedy 35 it’s so big and in style now I love it had it for 7 years
That’s great! 7 years ago, the quality and prices were much better! Enjoy!
Hello
I checked the Canadian website and there are Speedys. There is the 30 but it says notify me and there is the 35 that you can place in cart.
If it's true. I'm glad I have both YSL Black Toy Loulou with gold. I bought it because I can use different straps. I love it. I use it whenever I go to concerts and LV Monogram Speedy 25
On the Australian website, there's only speedy bandoulieres. I'm not too bothered if they get rid of the classic speedy, I like a versatile bag so I want a bag that provides the option of being worn crossbody/shoulder as well as top handle.
I have the toy loulou in dark beige and tbh rarely wear it because its too small for me. I don't think YSL should discontinue them, rather they should get rid of that inner divider and come out with fun colours the way Chanel does.
Hello Hannah! Happy New Year 🎉 to u and ur whole family 🤍 I “need” that Anigona, & u’re like me, I don’t care if fashion experts says it’s out of style. That’s what I looove the most, the STYLE & the looks of the bag! Lol 😂 anyways, I hope u have a fab weekend! 😍😍
I love the antigona. I have the mini in croc and I’ve gotten compliments. I don’t care if it’s outdated. It’s beautiful and doesn’t shout luxury. Unless you know your handbags, you wouldn’t be able to tell that the handbag is Givenchy.
Well, I can’t find the Speedy 25 on Singapore site. Only the Bandolier and Murukami. Re the Lulu, I’m not keen on the new design. You are right, they should just design a new bag.
Thank you for sharing what you see in Singapore!
Thank you. I’m glad I got mine some years back. I would like the Ebene one, but not sure if should replicate. I achieved no December buy. Yay!
Hi, there are only the strap one remaining on the French website 😊
Ah, so same as US website
I have not seen any classic speedys in Finnish site for a while.
Thank you for sharing!
Noo I love the LouLou! I don't have one, but it's always been in the back of my mind. I loved that it had a leather strap. I prefer a full leather strap over the chain ones, and it doesn't seem like YSL offers many small crossbody bags with full leather straps anymore 😕
It’s true, it seems the leather straps are harder to find. They seem to make a lot more bags with chain straps. I’m like you, much prefer the softness and comfort of leather.
Love my x2 toy loulous. They're small but mighty & great quality in comparison to my Chanel. I'm guessing they weren't profitable enough for YSL.
Both are available on the Canadian website 30 and 35.
I love my toy loulou and I don't have to mind it. It's gone from the European website too. It's my favourite bag. I love the leather strap
It’s such a great little bag!
I like original speedy much more then bandolier version.For my opinion it doesn't looks right ,and u don't know why will Louis Vuitton will discounted classic speedy.
the classic style 30 and 35 (place in cart) in DE on LV USA website. No classics on the French website. Maybe it's shifted to instore purchase only?
So interesting how it’s not consistent at all. 🤔 Thanks for sharing!
The Loulou is cute but I never got it! The divider in the middle limits space.
Yes that is a common complaint. I happen to enjoy the divider for organization but it certainly limits bulkier items from fitting.
It really doesn’t that bag holds everything trust me it just stretches out like it’s malleable I’ve owned mine 5 years now..,
I have it and you are correct!! Love my annoying LouLou
I had the small Lou Lou and I loved the look but hated that it will fall off my shoulder 😢 I attempted to buy the Givenchy antigona in mini shiny black but it no longer had a leather zipper pull and metal engraved Givenchy. I was so disappointed because it looked cheap. I had 2 small Givenchy I sold (too big for me) and was so disappointed in the design change I returned it and was sad I couldn't get the OG new.
Hi! I can‘t find any classic Speedy on the European website, only Bandouliere.
Ok I feel like this is becoming a theme across countries now…. 🤔 thank you for sharing!
No classic speedy on the Canadian website currently.
Here on the Canadian website I only see the DE Classic Speedy in 30 and 35
Interesting. Another Canadian said they didn’t see any of the classics online. 🤔 What in the world is going on with LV? 😂
I love my toy loulou bag, now the new style looks so cheap and ugly. lol
Sorry following up, but now the new classic is the bandoulier. I asked a sales associate at the NYC flagship store mentioning the classic (without the strap) and she pulled up the bandoulier. I asked a few sales associates there and they said the “one without the strap “ has been discontinued for over a year. Go figure 🤷🏻♀️ .
Oh my my!! Thank you for following up and sharing this!! Over a year ago?? 😮
That’s too bad about the new toy Lou Lou design! The old design seems like it would be easier to use & fit more! Also interested to see if LV phases out the original speedy. It’s such a classic style but definitely more user friendly with the strap.
The classic speedy is not longer on the uk website (app) ❤
Hi! I love your videos, as always! I think their is a break in communication, even here in the comment section. I think when you asked your SA, she thought you were just saying Speedys (classic) in general but if you would have had her bring you out a bag it would have been with the bandouliere. LV no longer makes without the bandouliere. But when you say "classic speedy" some people dont know you are saying without bandouliere, FYI ❤
No no, I was very clear with my SA and pointed to the Speedy B 25 I was wearing crossbody that day and said “Not this one, I mean, the ones without the strap, the original classic models” and she replied “yes, we have so many in the back!” I even explained that only the bandouliere styles were showing on the website and no classics without the straps, and she was surprised. She understood exactly what I meant.
@hellocatwalkcity interesting 🤔. Thanks for the video and may you have an amazing 2025! You are doing so great with your content. 🥰
it looks like lv has recently discontinued the croisette unfortunately
I will always adore the mini antigona
Ditto
I think they put the bags in the back because they want to advertise the others. Just a thought. I may go to my local boutique to see. 😅
That’s exactly what I thought too. Since the boutique was full of displays for the new collections.
The Louis Vuitton speedy’s have been around for a hundred years why would they discontinued it now? They will say it’s going to be discontinued then bring it back, and raise the price!
Is your mini antigona in box leather or grained leather?
Grained goatskin
On the german LV website there are 72 „speedy“ items but no speedy without a strap.
Thank you for sharing what you see in Germany!
The classic speedy is still on the Canadian site
Hi Hannah, how are you? Hope you’re doing well. I just checked the LV Kuwait website because I live in Kuwait, anyway there are no classic speedies all the speedies that I found have the strap attached so I don’t know if they discontinued it or if there’s some in the store, but on the website all the speedies have the shoulder or Crossbody strap attached. Hope that helps. Take care and have a nice day. 😊❤
Interesting! Seems that some countries are showing them on their websites and others are not. Mixed. Thank you for sharing!
I bought a toy Lulu a few months ago black with the gold logo. although I think it’s adorable I’m actually kind of regretting getting another black bag. I was thinking that now that it’s discontinued someone might want a square bag. Do you think I could get close to my retail price of 1800 for it? I didn’t really think of selling it but now that it’s discontinued I was wondering if someone might actually prefer the square.
I hope you’re able to sell it for a good price! At the moment, there are quite a lot on the secondhand market like Fashionphile so you may want to wait a bit if you’re not in a rush.
Is there a difference between the mini and toy ysl? I’m confused
The original sizes were named toy, small, medium, large. Now, the new shorter versions they’ve released are named mini, small, medium, etc. so essentially the new MINI has replaced the old TOY size. Hope that helps.
But why would they hide all the classic speedys in the back and not display it in store or the website. That sounds shady lol
Haha. Maybe not “hiding” but there were so many new collections on display. They’re probably trying to promote those since the classics historically sold themselves.
Seems like they turned the Toy LouLou into a wallet on chain.
😩
I still love and adore my Antigona’s bag! Wear it all the time… I don’t care what people say….
👍
Every speedy is on the Canadian site.
The antigona is still a beautiful bag. I love it myself. Agree I don’t think YSL should have made the changes. I have the small size and definitely prefer it over East west. I’m just not a fan of that silhouette on any bag. As for the speedy I think there’s just lots of rumors. It does seem odd that the bags aren’t on the website. Normally that would mean they aren’t available but also why would LV discontinue one of their most popular handbags. I just don’t see it. I guess time will tell. ❤❤
💯
Classic speedy has been removed from the website, for a while now. This is from Australia ....
Thank you for sharing.
Singapore lv website still have speedy.
All sizes of the classic Speedys showing?
@hellocatwalkcity nano, 20, 25 and 30
Sounds like YSL is cutting back on the leather 😢
🤔😯😔I personally like your stye YSL, for me, I would prefer space and comfort. I guarantee your bag will be back in style in another 10 to 20 years. Right now that new YSL is what I call a 'test run'. I am sooo with you with no caring with is in or out of style regarding handbags, the only thing that should matter, is what the person is comfortable with😎
Totally agree, comfort is key!
Only speedy Bs are available on Australian website.
Ooh! Thanks for letting me know!
Here's what I think is happening - the classic Speedy 30 without the bandouliere/strap has been discontinued. You can still get every kind of speedy on the LV UK website, the 20, 25 and 30, but I think LV has decided not to make the old style ones, without a strap which makes sense. Many people adapt their classic by adding a strap, which it's not designed for, so instead they've decided to make the speedy more versatile by only making the bandouliere style.
Logical theory! Maybe they’re not profiting off the classic Speedy anymore.
I really want a Givenchy antigona mini so bad. I don't care about "it" bags. Im looking for a red one!
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a red Givenchy Antigona mini in person. That would really pop! Hope you find yours!
I AM NOT an east-west fan👎🏽
I’ve always be too scared to ask, why do you never see your face?
Aw I don’t mind you asking! Others have asked along the way. Mainly, I really cherish my privacy and I prefer to focus on the products/content vs on me. Hope that makes sense!
🚩
Only Speedy Bs on Aus website. No classics.
