Origin
Named for a muse
Saint Laurent introduced the Loulou in 2017 under Anthony Vaccarello, naming it for Loulou de la Falaise, the designer and confidante who was one of Yves Saint Laurent's closest muses for decades.

Create accountThe Story
Named for the muse who shaped Yves Saint Laurent, with quilting that traces a Y.
Design
Quilting shaped like a Y
The bag's chevron quilting is stitched to echo the letter Y, a quiet tribute to Yves Saint Laurent himself.

Good to know
Two bags in one strap
A sliding chain strap lets the Loulou switch from a shoulder bag to a crossbody in a moment, part of why it caught on so quickly.

Fair value is the median of recorded resale prices for that spec, broadened and labeled when a spec is thin. Landed estimates add each platform's typical buyer fees and shipping, before sales tax. An estimate, not an appraisal. Affiliate links may earn us a commission.
Where to buy
Pre-filled searches on the major resale platforms. Listings and prices are set by each reseller.
Affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. Learn more.
Where to sell
Two ways to part with a bag: sell fast for cash (a buyout quote, paid up front) or consign for more (listed by the platform, paid when it sells, minus a commission). Quotes, splits, and payouts are set by each platform.
Sell fast for cash
Instant buyout quote: less than top dollar, but paid right away.
Consign for more
Listed for you and paid on sale, after the platform’s commission. Usually nets more than a buyout.
