MINI BAG COMPARISON - BATTLE OF THE BAGS, YSL TOY LOULOU V'S CHANEL MINI RECTANGLE

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Which do you think is the winner? 🥰

[@debm9413]

For me the winner is the YSL. I feel the leather is more durable. The price is fantastic. You could buy almost 4 toy LouLous for the price of one Chanel mini! And the fact that the YSL chain is not only adjustable but removable opens a ton of possibilities. You could get so many different looks by adding different straps. Since I never resell my bags, the resale value doesn’t enter into my decision making. Both are great bags but I would most definitely choose the YSL. Great video!

Hey Vivienne, So, it would be the Chanel for me. I just love the things that have STOOD the test of time. Both are expensive bags to me. Interesting though, I have an old Picasso mini bag (thrift store find) from years ago... you would not believe the compliments I received... it's not the "IT" designer anymore but I Love it. I believe this ysl Toy Lou Lou will be a stunner to wear 20 yrs from now. Awesome, comparison hun... ALWAYS SO HELPFUL. 💕🌸🌼🌸

[@VivienneConnolly11]

@@mindbodysoul8214 Thankyou so much hon 🥰❤️, it’s Amazing , some of the most useful, easy and practical bags are not necessarily designer 🥰❤️

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Thanks so much Deb, I would have to agree with all your points 🥰

[@sylly654]

I love both; the Chanel mini is probably may favorite bag, and the style I have the most of in my collection (I currently have 4 after selling two thinking I had too many minis, and now I regret letting those go because they are such great little bags). But YSL is excellent value for money for more of an every day bag. My bff has that exact bag (so black toy Lou Lou) and it worth very single penny. Chanel minis hold their value so well, so even though it is over triple the cost, most people won’t be disappointed taking the splurge 😎

[@mariahadel28]

Based off your many videos I’ve been watching I finally purchased the ysl toy loulou & I absolutely love it! I was worried about it not having the adjustable straps since I’m short & it actually fits perfect & is the perfect length! I love how you can wear casual or dressed up.. definitely my new go to!

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Awww sooo thrilled Mariah, I wouldn’t put you wrong 🥰❤️

[@ImenBen12]

Vivienne you look like the CEO of a successful company! Beautiful Lady! Would lovee a Q&A to get to know you more :)) I absolutely LOVE your channel and you helped me in buying my Chanel Clutch on chain, would love to see her more on your channel

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thanks so much hon, will def do that 🥰❤️, will be doing more on her 🥰😍

[@jamelsydney2737]

Yes agree, pls do a personal Q&A Viv, we would love to know more about you, lovely lady!!!

[@marionalorente695]

hi Viv! Two great bags. Personally, I like chevron quilting more than diamond in chanel bags. Maybe that’s why I love the toy loulou. The toy is perhaps more versatile to wear all day, and the chanel is very iconic and stylish. You look wonderful. Well, better said, you are wonderful Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰🌈😉

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Hi Mariona, the Toy LouLou is def more versatile 😊, Aww thankyou so much hon 🥰😊

[@lisaszunyog7603]

Thanks for the video Vivienne. I recently gave up my Chanel rectangular because I feel like it’s just a bit stiff for all the items I want to stuff into my purse. I hands-down feel like the YSL is softer and would fit more so I go with the YSL.

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Your right hon, it’s a lot more supple 🥰❤️

[@theyoungs100]

Excellent, practical review! Thanks for the delivery.

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thankyou so much hon 🥰❤️

[@mindbodysoul8214]

Both bags are STUNNING. I also love the Chanel edge stitching. Just like you...I don't need much these days. You look so Gorgeous... love your blazer. TFS 🌼🌸🌼

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thanks so much honey, so freeing when we can down size 🥰❤️

[@WhatsForTea]

LOVE them both :) I have the Toy Lou-Lou already and love it...but would kill for that mini :D one day! Fab video as usual x

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thanks honey , you will get it 🥰❤️

[@mpram5522]

Lovely video. Beautiful. I've fallen in love with your toy loulou and will be buying it before end of 2021.

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thankyou so much, she’s a great little piece 🥰❤️

[@nikkiphillips9236]

YSL win on value, usability and possibly give more choice of SLG that you can fit in but the Chanel CC and strap are sooo lovely.( Hubby just saw the prices and asked if YSL means You Spend Less; thinks he is hilarious) Great comparison Viv and you are looking very smart.XX

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thanks so much Nikki , We are slaves to these beauties 😂😂💃🏼

[@patricebrown4939]

absolutely love your style and love the blazer! xx

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thankyou honey 🥰❤️

[@PEARLSJAM]

Didnt know the mini pochette fits in the mini chanel flap. Great comparison!💕

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thankyou so much 🥰❤️

[@cathyle-roux9648]

I have the same exact Chanel chevron, and didn't realize how long the strap are. Always love your video beautiful ❤️

[@VivienneConnolly11]

They are quite long 🥰, Aww thankyou so much ❤️

[@victorialozano9323]

Chanel bag because she’s a classic but the Loulou because I would use her every day!! I still would love to see a video with the all the Zoomoni inserts you use for certain bags. 🙏🏼

[@VivienneConnolly11]

It’s on the way hon 🥰

[@victorialozano9323]

Great comparison. I love both, they are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing darling ❤️

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thankyou hon 🥰❤️

[@chelseamanfredi3420]

Such a fab video! I’ve recently purchased the YSL but it doesn’t have the adjustable strap I got the black hardware as I expected it to have that strap 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Hi Chelsea, apparently on the new model it’s not adjustable but you can remove the strap and replace it with an adjustable one 🥰❤️

[@jamelsydney2737]

Yayyyy it’s my requested video, thank you so much for doing this! 😘 Fabulous review as always 👍 I thought owning the Toy Loulou would appease my craving for the Chanel Mini, but it hasn’t!!! The Toy loulou is an awesome bag and probably the best value luxury mini bag out there, but that Mini Chanel just has that little something extra, and such a classic and timeliness style. The price tag is the only thing holding me back (apart from the fact that I have 4 other Chanel bags 😁), but let’s see how long I can hold off before finally caving in haha 😆

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Hi Jamel, Aww your so welcome 🥰❤️, delighted to do it for you 😍, and I completely understand 🤗, we are all the same, the heart wants what the heart wants 😘

[@diva944lux9]

Hi! New Sub! Love ur videos! Thnx to u i finally got a YSL toy loulou! Velvet red w gold hardware! 🥰❤️

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Hi hon, Aww thankyou so much🥰, ooooh fabulous colour💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼congrats 🎉😍

[@marytackescangelose7532]

Hello Vivienne! I loooooooove your Balmain blazer!! It looks so sharp and stunning on you!! In regards to the YSL and Chanel bags, I want to love the YSL, but I still favor the Chanel. I need to keep an open mind because so many people do love the YSL bags and have nothing but praise for them. For me, I do like the contrasting hardware on the Chanel bags, and who knows may because my last name begins with a "C". The shape being more rectangular appeals to me also. I am however, getting somewhat discouraged with the price hikes and waitlists from Chanel and also LV. It may be time to give YSL a better look see.

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Hi Mary, I completely understand 🥰, but always go with your heart😍, ysl are great but don’t buy it for the sake of it ❤️🥰

[@tulipflower2744]

I love the Chanel Mini Rectangular bag. Can I ask your advice as to which I should buy? a Chanel Black mini rectangular or a Chanel Black Classic Wallet on a Chain (WOC) given that I already own a Chanel Classic Medium Black Caviar bag.

[@VivienneConnolly11]

I would def go with the mini hon, I love it 🥰❤️💃🏼

[@ameliarosescloset]

I’m going into this video thinking ‘I can’t be objective!’ 💕

[@VivienneConnolly11]

😂😂, brill 👏🏻👏🏻🤗

[@jamelsydney2737]

Come on Amelia, give us your official verdict. We all know you love your Chanel minis!!! 😂

[@nikkiphillips9236]

You are the Queen of the Chanel mini !

[@beautycrean4957]

I need both! What is it like shopping in the chanel in Dublin? Is it difficult to score a chanel mini? Do I need to have a purchase history? 🛍👜

[@VivienneConnolly11]

😂, I hear ya hon 🥰, I find it pleasant hon, but of course it always depends on who you get on the day 🥰, it’s hard to get the mini you want as they are seasonal, but you could always try on the second hand market too hon and no you don’t need a purchase history 🥰❤️

[@DaylesAddiction]

Great video Viv - I love love love your blazer!! I have to be honest, I can’t find a style at YSL that I’m drawn to, just because they appear so similar to Chanel or other styles LV Pochette Métis etc. What are your thoughts on this?

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Aww thanks so much hon 🥰❤️, I really like the ysl puffer in white with gold hardware, but once hooked on Chanel it’s hard to look elsewhere 😂😊🥰

[@jamelsydney2737]

I think many people (including myself) end up going for YSL because their bags look very similar to Chanel bags but at a much lower price point and possibly better quality, hence it appears to be better value. However Chanel lovers are loyal and stick to Chanel for its heritage, classic look and resell value.

[@DaylesAddiction]

@@jamelsydney2737 thanks for joining the conversation, I think it’s why perhaps I find that o feel like I’m duplicating when I look to YSL. I love the Canvas College bag because it’s so unique looking in material.

[@DaylesAddiction]

@@VivienneConnolly11 yes, the white bags are beautiful! A great way to do white luxury with a little less risk! Still an investment though!

[@rosepetal9067]

Hi Vive, I don't own either one but if I had to choose I would pick the chanel 😁. On a side note, I often wonder with big collections of lux handbags do they have them insured. Do you or any of your subies get your handbags insured and if you do is it a separate insurance you get specifically or can you put them on your house insurance policy? Thanks ☺

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Hi Rose, yes they would insured separately 😊

[@rjsluxcollection2611]

Hi Viv! I have a Chanel mini rectangular in caviar bag and a Chanel mini square in the crush pearl lambskin bag (both black) but still really want the toy loulou. Is it redundant to get the toy loulou? I also have three other Chanel mini rectangular bags. I just like mini bags lol

[@VivienneConnolly11]

😂😂, I hear ya hon, I use my toy lou Lou for more casual situations like running to the shops etc, so for that reason I would say it’s worth it, on occasions you don’t want to chance your more expensive bags eg rain 🥰❤️

[@cutieprincess431]

I think one key thing about bags: sure you can sell them but won’t most people have to sell through a major platform that take some of your profit? 😅

[@VivienneConnolly11]

Yes hon, they def take a commission, but you could sell through Depop or Instagram 🥰

My Toy Lou Lou doesn’t have that wristlet strap addition 😯 I wonder why...

[@VivienneConnolly11]

I think the new styles don’t have it hon xx

[@jamelsydney2737]

My Toy Loulou doesn’t have a wrist strap or thin middle slip pocket either. I believe ours is the new “Mini” version which replaced the older “Toy” version.

[@indycantu2270]

Love both bags, but chanel is too expensive😍
