A huge issue with the college is that the shoulder strap is attached to the flap, so every time you open the bag it will start to flop weirdly. In the loulou and cassandra the strap is attached to the bag itself, so you can open and close the bag comfortably even when wearing it.
I have medium black Lou Lou with silver hardware. Great day to night bag! I no longer long for the Chanel jumbo in that combo and saved myself a ton of money!
Great comparison. I definitely prefer the College based on this comparison. I love the profile, top handle, and the sleekness of the chevron quilting. It has plenty of room as I've become more of a minimal carry girl. I do like the loulou as well but prefer the college. TFS!!
I ordered both but I’m leaning towards the college! I like the back pocket and I like the top handle. I don’t need a ton of room that the Lou Lou offers
The Lou Lou in medium is on my wishlist!! College reminds me too much of the LV PM. Thanks so much for doing this. Loving theb5-Minute Friday series. Have a great Sunday 💖 June
Thank you so much for doing a comparison! I’ve been debating whether or not to get the college in the large, or the medium loulou. This video definitely helps!
Another great 5 min video! Surprised at how much info you were able to share! Definitely love the loulou a bit more especially because she has more space. ❤️❤️❤️
I have the Loulou in the same size. I haven’t worn it yet as it is in the light beige color and it’s full on winter here in Montreal! But I’m going to Boca in a couple of weeks and can’t wait to bring the bag with me.
Loved this video Amanda. The college bag is on my wishlist and the Loulou is growing on me!! You have two beautiful bags and the colors are just perfection!!!!
Loving your 5 minute Friday’s! I have the medium Loulou in black with silver hardware and I LOVE IT! I agree the hardware on the inside is a little annoying but still love it
ItsOnlyWarPaint 🥰 the black and silver is very edgy and I love that about it but the lighter colours are so beautiful. The white or nude with the gold hardware 😍😍
Hi Amanda, great video! I am debating over buying one or the other. Could you please tell me the chain drop of both bags (loulou on the longest,i.e. crossbody setting). I am about your frame and I wonder if the straps are going to be too long. Thanks in advance.
I've got the medium loulou in brown with silver hardware and i'm about to purchase the large college in black or grey. But you can't wear it crossbody so i hesitate with the medium college. Great video by the way
I enjoyed this video so much. I had my heart set on the college but was on the fence about the chain. Well, about not being able to adjust it. I’m going to try out the Lou Lou in store but I’m leaning more toward that one.
Love this comparison! Will always go for the one with more room. Also, a suggestion for another 5 minute Friday, if not done already - can we perhaps see a backpack comparison?
Thanks for this comparison, Amanda! I will always go with the one with more room! Also, if you haven’t done it already, can we see a comparison of your backpacks?
I love the look of the college bag and practicality of the lou lou. Amanda I wanted to ask your opinion on the LV on the go tote in GM? Not sure if you’ve spoken about it on any of your videos.
LuxMommy thank you for your feedback. I’m glad in was able to order one yesterday when it became available online for few hours. My collection is mostly a mix of Chanel, Gucci and YSL, so the on the go will be nice to have, as I don’t have the neverful. Always look forward to your videos 😍
Great comparison loving the LouLou due to size/space/squishiness, but a top handle is always a win for me. I would probably choose the College instead. Awesome video! Thank you!!!
Hello love the video! Where do you purchase the white small Lou Lou with gold hardware? I don’t see that size or hardware anywhere. Please let me know thank you ☺️
I have this college size for years now and love it but it fits hardly more than my mini bags. I have the Loulou in the medium and adore it. Would love a small size Loulou too !
Hi Amanda. Happy valentines ❤️❤️ I love both bags. They’re gorgeous and each have their own unique features. You’ve got the best taste in bags and colors. Very inspiring. I’ve got both and love them so much, thanks to you of course🙏😘 Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
Love the video! I just exchanged the medium college in Gray for a medium Loulou bag in a nude powder colour :-)… I was also torn between the envelope bag too but in the end Lou Lou won:) I love the buttery feel of the leather on the Lou Lou:) and having the p.m. in reverse the college is very similar to that so the college is still definitely on the list for the future... great comparison 💕
I love these videos Amanda! I’ve debating between the Small and Medium LouLou and I’ve just ordered the medium a couple days ago, I hope it’s not too big, I’m small frame and 5’2”! Does the small loulou gets heavy when is full? Thanks
I have both, but my Collège is the large. Not a whole lot bigger than the small LouLou actually, but has a better interior than the LouLou. I really miss the slit pocket at the back on the LouLou and the chain is in the way on the inside. It would otherwise have been a perfect bag😉
I have a question how you do decide or does it not matter to you when choosing the color of the hardware for the bag? I am debating on silver or gold of a Chanel bag and I can’t decide at all!!!!!?🤔
Great video! I love the Lou Lou... mine is the toy size, which is like a tiny puff that I wear crossbody and it’s super functional and comfy. Love your white Lou Lou! 💕
I love both ! But love the fact you can remove the chain off the college and the chain is light and not in the way. How’s the wear and tear on the college?
Both of these have been on my wish list and Im still debating which one to get... I think Im leaning more towards the college, but I do like how you can wear the loulou on your shoulder... hmmmm we will see :)
A huge issue with the college is that the shoulder strap is attached to the flap, so every time you open the bag it will start to flop weirdly. In the loulou and cassandra the strap is attached to the bag itself, so you can open and close the bag comfortably even when wearing it.
I have medium black Lou Lou with silver hardware. Great day to night bag! I no longer long for the Chanel jumbo in that combo and saved myself a ton of money!
It's a great bag! Happy Valentine's Day! XO
Nicole Zackary thank you. You give me a good idea. You are right, Chanel right now is ton of money.
I'm also looking for day to night bag. Do you find that you have to baby your Lou Lou? Since it seems to be prone to scratches
Loulou $1950 vs College $2450. Loulou wins, more space and less $. Happy Vday to you.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Valentine's Day!
my birthdays coming up and ive decided on ysl to be my first designer bag 🙏🏽❤️
Great comparison. I definitely prefer the College based on this comparison. I love the profile, top handle, and the sleekness of the chevron quilting. It has plenty of room as I've become more of a minimal carry girl. I do like the loulou as well but prefer the college. TFS!!
I bought the College bag the other day. I selected it because I love outside pockets. Needless to say, I wish the LouLou had an outside pocket.
I want the college to be made with the roomier leather! They need to combine these for the perfect bag!
Love that idea!
Great idea
Hey! The college is such a gorgeous colour and hardware. Do you know what the name of the colour is?
Thank you for the comparison. From looking at them side by side, I prefer the College style. I'm getting one in cobalt blue with gold hardware.
I ordered both but I’m leaning towards the college! I like the back pocket and I like the top handle. I don’t need a ton of room that the Lou Lou offers
Yay!! XOXO
I love both! I have the college. Love a bag I can wear as a top handle but also has options, and the loulou is on my wish list.
Thank you for this comparison, the LouLou medium is on my wishlist!🥰
Thanks so much for watching!
The video has helped me decide to get the Loulou because I need a roomy bag. Thanks so much! New sub.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! I love Loulou so much! Don't know why I never like College bag look. They are quite similar lol but love the colour of yours xx
Both great bags!!!
The Lou Lou is on my wish list! Thanks for the comparison. 💖💖💖
It is such a good bag! Thanks so much for watching! I hope you are doing well, stay safe! XOXO
Beautiful bags- loving the white. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching Sharon! XOXO
The Loulou bag is definitely on my wish list.

Super helpful video. Still debating which one I want but loving the college top handle !✨
Glad it was helpful! XO
Such a great comparison! Have you had any colour transfer on the Lou Lou?
Hi RoRo! No I have not! XOXO
I have the small Lou Lou in black with gold hardware. Beautiful bag.
Yes, it is gorgeous!! XOXO
I have the medium College bag in burgundy. I purchased it in December as my everyday fall-winter bag, however it already started to show corner wear.
Oh bummer! That sucks Nadia, I'm not having any issues with mine. XOXO
I have been waiting for this comparison! Thank you so much for making this video, the LouLou has my heart although both are gorgeous 😍
Thank you so much for stopping by Paige! XOXO

First time viewer. Love the short and sweet video. You get to the point without a lot of chit chat! My kind of video!
Yay! Thank you!
this comparison really helped me in choosing the loulou! but i have the college on my radar :P
Another great 5 min video! Surprised at how much info you were able to share! Definitely love the loulou a bit more especially because she has more space. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Have a great week! XOXO

I hope to have the college bag one day. Thanks for the very cool video !!
It is an amazing bag! Stay safe! XOXO
I have the Loulou in the same size. I haven’t worn it yet as it is in the light beige color and it’s full on winter here in Montreal! But I’m going to Boca in a couple of weeks and can’t wait to bring the bag with me.
That will be great on vacation! Have a great time. XOXO
Great comparison! The LouLou is at the top of my wishlist!
It's so good!
Definitely the loulou
It's a great bag! XO
This comparison was so great. Seeing as the Lou Lou is more affordable ♥️
Thank you Gretchel! Have a great week. XOXO
I have the large college and love it so so much! Considering the small Lou Lou.
They are both great! XOXO
This video has been so helpful! I was torn between the two and ended up ordering the loulou! I can’t wait to get it 😊
That is exciting!! Have a great weekend. XOXO
LuxMommy thank you! You too!
Loved this video Amanda. The college bag is on my wishlist and the Loulou is growing on me!! You have two beautiful bags and the colors are just perfection!!!!
Thank you so much! Have a great day! XOXO
I got the Loulou due to the strap being a shoulder carry. Also like the smaller chain.
The shoulder carry is great! Have a great day Jenn! XOXO
I love that handle on the College but I’m leaning toward the LouLou!
It is so hard to choose! Have a great day Marnie! XOXO
This is so helpful! I have the LouLou in medium and love it! The small is so cute too! 💗
I am glad you liked it! Have a great week! XOXO!
Hi :). What is the colour name of Collrge bag? Thank you 🌹
Loving your 5 minute Friday’s! I have the medium Loulou in black with silver hardware and I LOVE IT! I agree the hardware on the inside is a little annoying but still love it
Right, it’s so great other than that. Xoxo
Roxstud Diaries I went with the silver hardware too
ItsOnlyWarPaint 🥰 the black and silver is very edgy and I love that about it but the lighter colours are so beautiful. The white or nude with the gold hardware 😍😍
Roxstud Diaries I also have a pink & nude one with silver hardware
Love the Black on a Black Lou Lou
That one is gorgeous! XOXO
I love them both!!
Thanks girl! XOXO
The Loulou is my favorite by far! Love the smaller, convertible chain and find the shape/stitching more attractive.
I love that too!
I’ve been eyeing the Loulou . Thx
It is so pretty! XOXO
Hi Amanda, great video! I am debating over buying one or the other. Could you please tell me the chain drop of both bags (loulou on the longest,i.e. crossbody setting). I am about your frame and I wonder if the straps are going to be too long. Thanks in advance.
The Loulou is on my wishlist.
It is a great bag! XOXO
Lovely bags,I love the college bag, beautiful
Thank you Ama! Have a great day! XOXO
I've got the medium loulou in brown with silver hardware and i'm about to purchase the large college in black or grey. But you can't wear it crossbody so i hesitate with the medium college. Great video by the way
Thank you Jessica! Have a great rest of your day! XOXO
Planning to purchase the Lou Lou
You will love it!
Thanks for your comparison video. What sizes are they both and is the college one dark beige colour?
I have the same Lou Lou you have and I love it.
Twins!! XOXO
I have the Lou Lou and love that bag!
It's so cute!!
I enjoyed this video so much. I had my heart set on the college but was on the fence about the chain. Well, about not being able to adjust it. I’m going to try out the Lou Lou in store but I’m leaning more toward that one.
Hi Maria! I am so glad you enjoyed it! XOXO
Hi Amanda, I prefer the Loulou, not sure why I just do. Have a lovely Valentine's weekend.
Love this comparison! Will always go for the one with more room. Also, a suggestion for another 5 minute Friday, if not done already - can we perhaps see a backpack comparison?
Hi Jill! I hope you have a great Valentine's weekend! XOXO
Thank you Christine! I will add that to my list of video ideas! XOXO
I bought a medium loulou and it’s awesome
😍
I have the college in dark grey/black and love it!
It's a great bag! OX
I have 2 medium Lou lou’s and loved them.
They are great!! XOXO
Thanks for this comparison, Amanda! I will always go with the one with more room! Also, if you haven’t done it already, can we see a comparison of your backpacks?
XOXO!
I love the look of the college bag and practicality of the lou lou. Amanda I wanted to ask your opinion on the LV on the go tote in GM? Not sure if you’ve spoken about it on any of your videos.
My thoughts exactly! I love the on the go, if I didn’t have the neverfull in all 3 prints I’d totally get one. Maybe one day I still will!
LuxMommy thank you for your feedback. I’m glad in was able to order one yesterday when it became available online for few hours. My collection is mostly a mix of Chanel, Gucci and YSL, so the on the go will be nice to have, as I don’t have the neverful. Always look forward to your videos 😍
Just ordered a white loulou small with gold hardware, preloved. Can’t wait! Do you know the YSL color name for your white loulou?
Great comparison loving the LouLou due to size/space/squishiness, but a top handle is always a win for me. I would probably choose the College instead. Awesome video! Thank you!!!
Thank you Jess! Top handles are great if you don't want to wear it cross body! Have a great rest of your day! XOXO
I love the LouLou leather. It feels so sturdy and luxurious.
Yes I agree!! XOXO
I had both of these bags
Sold the colege kept the loulou which I got on a trip to Rome which i love the loulou
That sounds like a fun trip! Have a great week. XOXO
Beige or white? What’s best for summer? Thinking of the Small Lou Lou with gold hardware. Already have the toy Lou Lou in black with silver hardware.
I think you can definitely go with either color for summer! Neutrals work all year. White is definitely a fun color in the summer though! XOXO
Hi! Do you have any issues with colour transfer on the white lou lou? Do you wear jeans with it?
Love both bags!
Thanks, both classics!
Hello love the video! Where do you purchase the white small Lou Lou with gold hardware? I don’t see that size or hardware anywhere. Please let me know thank you ☺️
Hi Richa! It is available here! I hope this helps and that you are doing well. Stay Safe! XOXO rstyle.me/+M0gbNvjApM4umNM_CQjntg
I have this college size for years now and love it but it fits hardly more than my mini bags. I have the Loulou in the medium and adore it. Would love a small size Loulou too !
They are both great bags! Thanks for stopping by! XOXO
Love your video! What kind of camera do you used?
Here it is amzn.to/2F5P2HJ
do you remember the colour of this bag? Is it the dark beige?
I love that Lou Lou! ❤️
Happy Valentines!! ❤️❤️
I love it too! Happy Valentine's Carol! XOXO
Hi Amanda. Happy valentines ❤️❤️ I love both bags. They’re gorgeous and each have their own unique features. You’ve got the best taste in bags and colors. Very inspiring. I’ve got both and love them so much, thanks to you of course🙏😘 Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much Fay! You are too sweet. I hope you had a great Valentine's! XOXO
How do the leathers compare? Is one more durable than the other?
I love the color of your college 😍
Thank you Marie! Have a great day! XOXO
Love the video! I just exchanged the medium college in Gray for a medium Loulou bag in a nude powder colour :-)… I was also torn between the envelope bag too but in the end Lou Lou won:) I love the buttery feel of the leather on the Lou Lou:) and having the p.m. in reverse the college is very similar to that so the college is still definitely on the list for the future... great comparison 💕
I love the feel too! Have a great week! XOXO
Thanks for the comparison 💐
Thank you for taking the time to watch Kathy!
I love these videos Amanda! I’ve debating between the Small and Medium LouLou and I’ve just ordered the medium a couple days ago, I hope it’s not too big, I’m small frame and 5’2”! Does the small loulou gets heavy when is full? Thanks
Hi Vicky! It does not get heavy! Have a great day. XOXO
I have both, but my Collège is the large. Not a whole lot bigger than the small LouLou actually, but has a better interior than the LouLou. I really miss the slit pocket at the back on the LouLou and the chain is in the way on the inside. It would otherwise have been a perfect bag😉
I have a question how you do decide or does it not matter to you when choosing the color of the hardware for the bag? I am debating on silver or gold of a Chanel bag and I can’t decide at all!!!!!?🤔
Hi! I gravitate to gold because that is just what I prefer. It is just preference! XOXO
This was a great comparison. May I request to add pricing in future comparisons?
I will try to remember to add that in! It can be hard to include everything in the 5 minute window. XOXO
I want the loulou in black, will it fit the clémence wallet and an iPhone pro max? Thanks 😊
Yes, I think it will fit that perfectly fine!
@@LuxMommy thank you
Love the both! College for me loveeee the color! ❤️
Yes! The color is great! Have a great week, Helen! XOXO
Collage looks better imo. Love ❤️ the top handle!!
I love the top handle too! XOXO
I'll take both thank you!!
Right? Let's not choose! haha
Great comparison!
Thank you Megan! XO
Great video! I love the Lou Lou... mine is the toy size, which is like a tiny puff that I wear crossbody and it’s super functional and comfy. Love your white Lou Lou! 💕
Thank you! Have a great day! XOXO
I love both ! But love the fact you can remove the chain off the college and the chain is light and not in the way. How’s the wear and tear on the college?
Mine is holding out well! OX
Both of these have been on my wish list and Im still debating which one to get... I think Im leaning more towards the college, but I do like how you can wear the loulou on your shoulder... hmmmm we will see :)
They are both great options! Get whichever one suits your needs and usage best! XOXO
That's a great idea! XOXO
Exactly my sentiments…which did u get in the end?
Love both want the loulou
The LouLou is so pretty! XOXO
I love your college! What color is it?
Hi Angelica! I don't know the exact color but here is a similar one! XOXO go.magik.ly/ml/uae0/
I absolutely love the colour of your college bag and been on the hunt for a while, but I think YSL discontinued the colour combination. 😢
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this great and very useful comparison! Amanda, could you please share what is the exact colour of your college bag? xx
Hi Maya! I don't know the exact color but here is one that is very similar! XOXO go.magik.ly/ml/uae0/
LuxMommy Thanks sweetheart! xx
Best review I’ve seen!
Thanks! XOXO
The LouLou is on my wishlist!
It is a good one! XOXO
