CONGRATS🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@fardousyusuf457]

Ohhhhh what an intro 😭😭💕💕 love ❤️

[@africocoalux722]

Right?!

[@maricarmenramonfos8260]

El blanco en color cafe con leche. Precío

[@cleabanal]

I really love how detailed Mel comparison videos are.

[@thebrazilianguy2570]

Mel, this bump that raises in the zipper part of the mini lou is because it sits in your hips and the curve of our body naturally pushes the structure of the bag up, my mom have one and her leather goods repair guy said it to her... good vibes! 🇧🇷

[@vibhutinata9596]

I love the way you did that intro! This video is just what I needed, thank you!!

[@Norietzz]

Thank you Mel 🌺 I’ve been waiting for you to review the toy lou lou and so glad I did! Now I need to decide on colour & hardware 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@katchiekaye]

I've always eyeing mini lou for years 😅 I think you can use it in both casual and formal. God bless you Mel always! 😍

[@HyeriNoms]

you are my favorite bag reviewer! you cover everything, and include MOD SHOTS!! loved your intro this time

[@bluestarstsl]

i love your new intro when you doing this comparison. really make me more anticipate about your review! its like in the boxing ring!

[@allofdestiny]

I love the mini Lou so much. great review to help in my decision making. I def needed to see where it hangs in length💖

[@vantu-lapcao7506]

What color did you get

[@alisonphongsavath828]

The toy lou lou is now on my wishlist!

[@yass3881]

You have no idea how helpful this video was to me. I actually purchased both bags within a week of each other and I’m waiting for them to come. I was kind of nervous because I thought they both were similar in size but this video made me realize I want to keep both. Thank you so much.

[@vrob2918]

Love you, Mel! You are so elegant, well spoken and informative! Thanks for posting this vid!

[@jazzyjaq1973]

I super love YSL 💖💗💓 underrated bag in my opinion 💖

[@Sophie_Sweet]

Wonderful comparison video as always!!! So detailed and informative. I love the silk shirt in every color, sooo luxurious but it I have to choose it will be champagne or light pink. Thank you for everything you do 🌺🌸

[@gloriachan1333]

Very in-depth comparison Mel. Thanks! Love the interject for the giveaway. It was a nice surprise :)

[@babitam02]

Great comparison Mel, love it! I hope you do more comparison like these in the future. Very helpful! 👍❤️ I love both bags equally so it will be hard to pick which one but if I had to pick just one I would go with mini Lou due to the zipper and how wide it opens, also the chain strap which imo makes it more classy.

[@wtxd]

I love the Toy LouLou but wished it did not have the center compartment so it could fit more. I struggle with getting things in and out of the bag when its packed "perfectly" to max capacity.

[@nwannekac.1979]

Thanks for this video Mel I’ve been looking at the Lou Lou for sometime now. I love the gold and white lilly silk shirts, they are so elegant!

[@serenalee2091]

Everyone who need a new bag should come and have a look of Mel's review. Definitely help with decision making. MOD shots are gold, can totally envision the look and scale.

[@AlexaStyleBook]

Watching this makes me want to get one too...hehe

[@BryanHeartBreaker]

A lot of their bags are named after the house muses. Such as Betty, LouLou, Kaia, Kate etc. just thought I’d share that random fact :)

[@adi2009bm]

Kate moss ? Who are the others ?

[@BryanHeartBreaker]

@@adi2009bm Kaia Gerber. Betty Cattroux, Lou Lou De La Falaise.

[@reginanovy7225]

@BN thank you for that random fact !😊

[@schiech5293]

Hi Mel, like your comparison video of the YSL bags. It is really details and helpful. I like the Toy Lou Lou and in neutral colour like yours. Been thinking of getting it for awhile. Your video is kind of help me make a decision.

[@NRYNn12]

Yes, the intro is sooo cool!😍 everytime i watch ur video has something new!🥰

[@tammyy8848]

Love the mini Lou, it’s perfect for everyday and going out!

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I love the Toy Lou Lou so gorgeous! TFS Mel!💕

[@neerajharam7361]

Thank you so much for doing this video! I have been eyeing the toy Lou Lou for a while now (in fact I went to Chaddy this weekend to look at it!) and I was concerned a little about the capacity, but after this video you have me convinced! It does fit a lot! I might just go for it now 😍 thank you!

[@wabagland1095]

Hi Mel, My favourite videos from you has always been bag reviews and bag shopping😬😬.. keep them coming Mel. Have a good day..

[@imperfectionradiate]

Not sure if you’re going to read this but I just want to say I love the way you give the explanation of all the details of the bags, Mel! (I’ve been a silent watcher for a year now) I prefer the Mini Lou because of its scratch resistant, how it is structured, and it comes with back pocket (too lazy to open the whole bag sometimes to throw/take small things). I also love how it actually looks good and cute on you 😊

[@imperfectionradiate]

I never own a silk shirt before, but it definitely look gorgeous on you so I’d be very happy to have one 🥺 I love love love the white silk shirt that you wore and posted on your instagram 💕 IG: taniachristabel

[@cindimams4394]

OK the strap will definitely be a problem for me being 5’1” it’ll go down to my knees 😂

[@wendycheung5477]

Hi Mel, thanks for another great informative video!! Love YSL bags! My favourite lily silk blouse colour is navy blue 🥰

[@jamirishmama]

Love, love your in-depth. I've watched your later videos on ysl, but I'm still undecided as to what to buy.

[@jessicalemke4571]

Here’s what fits in my mini Lou: LV 6 Key holder LV Zippy coin purse (not the round one) Pack of cigarettes and lighter iPhone xs max Lipstick, small perfume as well as a separate card holder like the ysl one as well as a pack of gum. When I take my phone out I can easily place in my sunnies without case

[@Acckkes]

Very helpful, thank you ☺️

[@darlenezadoo176]

IG: darlenezadoo Emerald green is so pretty and the blue you were wearing

[@Catherine-ny1us]

The white silk shirt is absolutely beautiful! 😍 IG: abcstract

[@deniselim1772]

Thanks for the comparison video! Hope you are doing well. Love the Lilysilk navy blue. 😊

[@marissagonzalez3397]

Thanks for the comparison of these two beautiful bags.💕 My favorite lily silk color is the light camel.

[@IssbelleSlays]

Ysl is having sale on their website and there are some beautiful bags on sale.

[@J.i.a__]

for what country are they having a sale?

[@IssbelleSlays]

I m in Australia and the sale is on www.ysl.com. I think it should be worldwide.

[@virciuvlad8526]

Love every single one of these type of videos. The queen of comparisons. Favourite colour of silk shirt is blue!🙌

[@gwenlauryn5014]

I missed out on all the giveaways, but how generous have you been, as always! I love the lou lou toy, it has been on my wishlist for ages now. I hope one day I can get it as my first designer bag. Thank you for all the info Mel! 😍

[@shirleyjiang7065]

Hi Mel~ I want to thank you for this video and for the lilysilk promo code! I used it for purchasing two shirts on top of their existing discount! One shirt that I purchased is exactly what you wear in this video, love the navy colour and pearl button combo, so elegant~ The other one I got is their bow-tie neck blouse in dark grey. Too excited and can't wait to receive them!

[@m1nt]

LOL GIRL. How did you know I was debating between these two bags!!! Thank you for this comparison

[@anniepatrocinio7405]

Congratulations on your 4th year on youtube Mel. Its a fun video & my favorite color lilysilk is the navyblue.

[@rachealfoo4439]

[@lifeslittleluxury3541]

[@littlelz8022]

[@lillygirl7238]

Yes, I did add the mini Lou bag to my collection after your earlier vid of the bag. Purchased during the self-quarantine. Totally cute bag. My fav LilySilk color is Dark Burgandy. Take care Mel and family.

[@aflilly]

THANK YOU Mel!!! I love how this video is so informational and filled with surprises. I’m loving the Kale Green Silk shirt. It’s my lucky color for this Lunar New Year so crossing fingers! Sending good vibes and love from Southern California. Angie B.
