Toy Battle: Toy Loulou or Toy LouLou Puffer

[nekkuliina]

I have been waiting a beige puffer to become in production since they announced the puffer line, and now it finally happened!! (I already own medium puffer so black which I absolutely love) So, I'm probably going to order the beige puffer in toy size for summer, but just wondered, is the chain in Toy possible to take off completely, or are the holes for chains too small? TIA!

Unless they changed it this season, you can remove the chain from the toy puffer. See the prior post in this thread. You can see how the ends of the toy puffer chain strap are a simple bar. The SL website also lists a detachable metal & leather chain in the description:

I've been eyeing the new matte beige with gold hw! It's so pretty!

i just got my Loulou Puffer Toy in December in lambskin and have loved it so much! I was actually in the store deciding between the Toy Loulou and the Toy Puffer and ultimately loved the Puffer more because it can fit more and the chain. It is also so soft and squishy. To me, i feel like it could stay a classic piece because it's not as puffy as the small/medium size.

Also, if you buy chain adjusters on amazon you can adjust the length on the bag to either be crossbody or even a short shoulder bag. But either bag is a great choice!

Wow! You can fit quite a bit in the toy puffer! Thanks for sharing! I love seeing WIMB pics.

It’s supposed to be detachable but I have not been successful at doing that and don’t want to force it.

If someone here owns the Toy Puffer and knows how to detach please share!

Of course! I also love seeing WIMB pics as well because it really helps me in deciding if a bag will work with my lifestyle!

I was hoping you guys can help me finally decide!

I love the chain on the Puffer Toy but I love the neat, clean quilts on the Toy Loulou.

Which bag do you think will have better mileage in the long run?

If you prefer the cleaner structure of the Toy, you can buy a chain strap for it. Or have you considered the small size?

I ended up with the Puffer w Chain! Couldn’t resist the chain for some reason! LOL

Thank you for posting these photos; I am thinking about buying the Toy Puffer and I was wondering if my LV mini pochette would fit and what room would be left. What are your thoughts on this bad after over a year?

Omg thank you so much for introducing me to this adjuster. I wanted to buy the puffer bag but was at a loss about how to make the chain length adjustable.

I still love the bag after a year! I have carried my mini pochette in it actually and it fits fine with my key pouch and card holder. The leather has held up really well and I’ve bumped into things with it on and there is only one faint scratch mark. But again, I wear my bags pretty hard.

The chain still looks great like the day I bought it, and the leather is still so supple/soft. No complaints or regrets with this bag at all!

Here are some pictures! In the bag: mini pochette, key pouch, card holder, mini hand sanitizer, mini lotion.
