Buying a pre-owned Saint Laurent College — FAQs
How does the College differ from the Loulou?
The College has a more structured, classic quilted shape, while the Loulou is softer and slouchier with a distinctive puffed quilt.
Is the chain comfortable to wear?
The leather-threaded chain sits comfortably on the shoulder and can often be doubled for a shorter drop.
Which leather wears best?
Calfskin resists everyday marks better, while lambskin is softer and more luxurious but more delicate.
