My Medium Puffer in black with shw from VITKAC arrived today and I’m in love. I’m in the US….I ordered it Thursday, it shipped and left Poland on Sunday, and arrived this afternoon (Wednesday). Crazy fast, and it was beautifully packaged and is flawless.

Only hiccup was finding a credit card that worked with the new EU authentication standards, so it took a few tries to get the order to go through. All that and a considerable savings from US pricing (and free shipping too!)

Here’s some photos.

It is, I'm so pleased. I was a little nervous ordering from so far away, but I've combed every inch of it and there's not a scratch or scuff on it. They even send a pre-paid shipping label if you need to return. It came in a beautiful VITKAC box as opposed to a SL box, but was in the original SL dust bag. Really great experience.

They’re great indeed, I got a pair of YSL flats through Farfetch from them and the packaging was impeccable, box and everything!

Ok so I’m really happy you posted this because a few weeks ago I ordered a beige toy puffer from Harrods which arrived really quickly but I didn’t even have to unwrap it all the way to see the quality of the leather was NIGHT AND DAY difference from the exact bag I had from neimans which I was planning to return bc it was more expensive. The Neiman one was really buttery and soft and the Harrods one had a lot more creases (and no it wasn’t the crumpled version) and wasn’t buttery at all. Have you compared the quality to a puffer from anywhere else? It looks buttery soft. Is it?

Mine looks and feels exactly like the lambskin ones I had fondled in the SL boutique. It's insanely soft. Are you sure yours is the lambskin and not the calfskin?

The listing on Harrods.com actually does not specify the type of leather and I never knew they even make them non-lamb skin!

I don't think it's a Harrod's specific thing, I've noticed there is a lot of variation for the leather on puffer bags even if they are all lambskin. Some are more matte, glossy, soft, porous, etc. The differences are more evident when you have them side by side obviously. I've also noticed that the lighter colored puffers (like the beige) tends to be more matte than the black ones so not as soft.

Alright, pulled the trigger and ordered a small puffer from Vitkac and could NOT be happier with it. Ordered it Tuesday and it arrived today (USA) and MUCH better quality than the lighter one I bought from Harrods.

Got my Small loulou puffer from the FWRD sale at 30% off - definitely exceeded my expectations, it looks even more gorgeous in person. Such a versatile bag, casual enough for everyday use and fancy enough for an evening out. So glad I decided to get the small vs. the toy b/c I have plenty of room! I'm a bit worried about the white lambskin leather so hopefully that hyper vigilance will wear off so I can just enjoy it!! tempImageQCfnlU.png
