thank you so much for posting this deal! I was able to get the same bag as you, the black on black puffer:love: however, I noticed that when I received the item, the ysl tag was cut off the bag and then taped onto the outside of the shipping box. I found that to be a bit strange. Also, though the bag was overall in good condition, I noticed a few small, faint scratches. Perhaps it’s the nature of the lambskin? There’s also some debris in the bag and the inner zipper pocket. I’m hesitant to return it though bc I’ve been through a lot to get this bag (bought it 3x from saks, farfetch, and neimans; returned all 3 bc they were clearly used bags or displays. One of them had bad scratches all over and even had someone’s Starbucks receipt crumpled up in it. Smh. The box it shipped in had a giant gaping hole on it, so the dust bag was dirty! Anyway, I was wondering if your puffer had the tags ripped off and taped onto outside of the box as well? I’ve never experienced this with fwrd. I had given up on the bag, though I love it, the shopping experience was just so dismal, so I chalked it up to not being meant to be, and gave up on it until you posted about this fantastic deal so thank you again!

yay! so glad you were able to get in on this deal too. my box also had the black tag on the outside of the box, but it was inside a plastic pouch taped to the box so i was still able to take the black tag out. i am sorry to hear about your horrible experience with trying to get this bag. it's terrible how people will use a bag and the store will still accept the return. i understand changing your mind, which i have returned a couple bags, but i never use the bag and it stays in the box until i make up my mind. i did not have any debris in the bag or inner zipper pocket. maybe you can all fwrd and ask about it. my inner zip pocket only had the plastic pouch with the authenticity cards and info. i was fortunate that my bag was still wrapped up but there were what looked like a couple of faint marks on the leather, not exactly scratches but i think from the nature of the lambskin. i put collonil leather gel on the bag to protect it and am so happy with it. if you decide to keep it, i hope you will be able to enjoy it.

Hi. I’m want to get my first YSL puffer and was wondering what you guys think of black with gold versus black with silver hardware. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I think both are gorgeous! The hardware really depends on your personal vibe & which option you like most. I went with the So Black option, since I’m a casual dresser & loved the look of black hardware with the outfits I wear.

I have black with silver and just changed out of it after using it for a month straight. The bag is just a great wear. I do want the black with gold hardware. You won't go wrong with either one.

Help! I’m torn between the small black puffer in gold or black hardware. I want to use it as an everyday bag (I already have a gray with SHW bag so I don’t want SHW). I love the black on black but am worried about the hardware chipping. I’m also not sure if the gold hardware is too much for everyday. I also love the dark beige with GHW, but I’ll prob be worried about staining it all the time. Anyone have any ideas to help me decide please?

I have had the chain envelope with black on black for 2-3 years. No chipping and I haven't baby-ed it at all. I also have the classic Loulou and puffer Loulou with silver hardware as that looks more everyday to me. Gold hardware on black kind of makes it dressier in my opinion

I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to see if people have been using Apple Guarde to protect their puffer? Did it mess up your bag? Is it worth doing? How often are you putting it on? TIA!
