should you get the saint laurent loulou or save up for the ultimate chanel classic flap i'll be
comparing these two bags in details and i share my preference in the end leave me a comment down
below to let me know which bags you love better the loulou or the classic flap let's get right
into the video from the look they both are very classic bags and the Saint Laurent loulou is in
the chevron pattern chanel classic flap is in the classic quilting here their chain looks different
as well Saint Laurent Loulou has this metal chain with the leather piece in the middle to make the
strap more comfortable while the chanel strap is interlaced with the leather piece which has a
more sophisticated look the back of the chanel plastic flap has a pocket for easy access which
Loulou doesn't both shoulder strap you can single wear or double up for the inside chanel has
two double flap here and then there's a zipper pocket on top and then here is double flap and
inside you can see there's a whole pocket there are two pocket in the back there's a lipstick
slot while the loulou's interior is divided by the zipper pocket so it's like a divider so you have
two compartment inside so there's no good or bad it just depends on if you love one pocket inside
or two pockets the closure is also different the chanel classic flap has the cc turn lock while
the loulou is a snap closure inside of the classic flap is leather lined while the loulou is fabric
lined my classic flap is in the caviar leather which is relatively speaking easier to take care
another popular leather when it comes to chanel classic flap is lambskin my small loulou is in
the calf skin which is relatively speaking easier to take care and it's definitely more rougher than
lambskin overall i do think a caviar leather is a little bit easier to take care than the calfskin
but calfskin is a really good leather hardware wise you can see that the loulou is in the bronze
toned metal more like a brush gold well my chanel classic flap is in the champagne gold hardware
it's like a light gold loulou is also available in the silver hardware chanel classic flap is
also available in silver brush the gold and gold hardware as well now chanel also has rose gold
hardware if you watched my shopping vlog you've probably seen the rose gold hardware on the chanel
classic flap it looks really pretty too not good or bad but i think the hardware just comes down to
personal preferences size wise the small loulou here is 9.8 inches and the 6.6 inches and the side
is 3.5 inches the longest the shoulder strap drop from the top to the bottom here is 56 centimeters
if you double up the shoulder strap drop from here to here is 30 centimeter chanel classic flap here
is 9.9 inches and here is 6 inches and side is 2.5 inches the shoulder strap from top to here
is about 17 inches if you double up the shoulder strap it's about 9.5 inches i'll show you how they
look side by side and the loulou looks wider this is the front and this is the back size wise you
can tell that the Saint Laurent Loulou is taller classic flap is a little bit longer both bags
comes in other sides as well loulou has a smaller loulou version called toy loulou the next size up
is medium loulou and also a large version medium already is really big and the large is just huge
chanel classic flap also has a smaller size called small classic flap this is the medium classic flap
and the next size up is the jumbo and then the maxi i personally feel medium to large classic
flap and the small loulou are probably the best size for me among the other size options so both
of them you can double up to wear as shoulder bags you can also just wear it on the side this is how
it looks how it falls on me and the loulou strap is longer this is how the crossbody looks on me
price wise the small loulou is retail for two thousand two hundred ninety dollars plus tax
after the price increase recently while the chanel median to large classic flap is eight thousand
eight hundred dollars plus tax after the last price increase the smaller loulou which is the
toy loulou is one thousand five hundred ninety dollars the medium loulou is two thousand four
hundred ninety dollars and the large loulou is two thousand seven hundred fifty dollars chanel's
small classic flap is 8 200 the next size up after the median to large classic flap that is the jumbo
and jumbo is 9500 maxi is officially 10 000 after the latest price increase the price difference
between the chanel classic flap and small loulou is huge so i just filled up my small loulou with a
bunch of random stuff like lipstick notebook hand cream and my vlogging camera and sunglasses stuff
and i'm gonna transfer everything to the classic flap and see how much it will be able to fit so i
try to stuff everything in and then i can close it right now i'm able to close my chanel classic flap
and you can see the only thing it can fit is the notebook and also chapstick and two lipstick
so the classic flap fits a little less items than the small loulou i think
they both are very classic looking bags the style is definitely here to stay but when it comes to
longevity classic flap definitely has even longer lifespan than the Saint Laurent price wise the
loulou is definitely way more affordable because with the classic flaps price you can get a few
loulou at the same time when you try to resell your loulou after many years you probably won't
be able to get your money back but if you try to resell your classic flap many years after if it's
in good condition chances are you will be able to get large portion or your money back after
many years it's simply because the crazy rounds of price increase that chanel has so it's totally
possible i'm sure the small loulou's price will go up over time as well but nowhere it will be able
to compete a speed of chanel's price increase if i have to pick one between these two and a budget
is not an issue and i'll definitely pick chanel classic flap but it doesn't mean that i don't love
my loulou because i still got the loulou after i got my classic flap it's still a beautiful and a
really nice bag essentially it comes down to your personal preferences there are some occasions that
you don't want to carry your chanel classic flap then the loulou will be a great option
for you also because the price point is more affordable even anything happens to the bag
you won't feel too bad about it however if you have the budget i would say why not both right
leave me a comment down below to let me know which one do you like better chanel classic flap or
Saint Laurent small loulou i would love to chat and discuss with you and i'll see you soon bye
