HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO CUDDLE YOUR HANDBAG AND LITERALLY TAKE IT TO BED WITH YOU?????

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Well, I have!!! I jumped at the LouLou Puffer in suede through MyTheresa as soon as I saw that the price on this cutie was increased by 350€(!) on YSL.de :panic:
So I got it for the old price :coolio:

I am so in shock. It IS SO beautiful and fluffy and soft and cuddly. It feels like carrying a soft toy under my arm! I just wanna pet it all the time!!!

I saw it last year and always pushed it for a later purchase. Don't know what took me so long!!!
ADORABLE!!!!!!:love::girlsigh::love::girlsigh::love::girlsigh:View attachment 5241489

Hey @DamierEbene how's your suede puffer holding up? I got mine today. Oberpollinger didn't have stock of the black ones, unfortunately.
 
Anyone have more than one puffer bag? I’m wondering if having more than one puffer in different sizes or colors makes sense or are they too similar in style regardless of size or color? Asking for a friend :biggrin:

I have a small in black w/ SHW. I gravitate towards this one in the fall/winter. I typically use mini bags in the spring/summer, so I also have a mini puffer. I used to have the blanc vintage, but recently sold it and bought the mini puffer in storm with SHW.

I loved the way the blanc vintage one looked, and I didn’t have any issues with color transfer or wear, but I was always hesitant to use it when I wanted to bc I was nervous about color transfer, so that’s why I got the storm instead. I’ve also found the darker colors are softer (I noticed this across brands, not just YSL, and I love the super soft and squishy).

I have three - suede, saffron and black on black. All the small size. If I really love a purse, I buy it in multiple colors. As long as they get carried, why not?!

I also noticed there are 2 different types of puffer leather— one is slightly glossy and soft and the other is matte and not as soft. The matte leather also looks a little dry, whereas the one with the sheen seems puffier. Is that what you’ve noticed? I’ve only considered black puffers and I’ve seen both types of leathers on the black. The difference was a lot more apparent when I was at the store and compared them side by side. It’s hard to see in the pic but the SHW is the glossy/soft leather and GHW is the matte/drier leather.

Totally agree! But I wonder how much I will use both. I am considering keeping the black in both small and medium.

Anyone have more than 1 black puffer or own both sizes?

Yea I noticed that too….so strange. My small is the black with SHW with the shinier leather, and it’s so luxurious feeling. My blanc vintage was the matte, and wasn’t nearly as soft. The storm one I have is close to being as soft as the black.

I brought my daughter in the COACH store to get her a bag for her bday, and we noticed it was the same way with their pillow quilted lambskin bags. The black ones were shiner and super soft. And the chalk were more matte and much less soft.

Are some bags made with lambskin and some with calf skin? I sort of remember this a couple of years ago. I know it was posted somewhere in this forum.

There are some that were made from calfskin. When I first noticed the difference I thought that may be why as well, but all the bags I had and I saw in store were lambskin.
