I'm considering both above. On line, the dimensions look to be similar.
Does anyone have both? if so how does the size and capacity compare? which do you prefer? Appreciate your thoughts.

I had both briefly, and returned the small loulou. The only reason was I’m 5’3”, and usually wear bags crossbody, and it sat way too low on me that way. It was beautiful though. The small loulou definitely fits more than the mini puffer. I would say 1.5x more (maybe a little more than that too). I have the mini puffer for spring summer, and the small puffer for fall/winter. The small puffer is more on par with the small loulou, although the puffer fits a bit more since there’s no divider pocket.

Thank you so much for your reply. Maybe I should also be looking at the small puffer too. I am also 5'3" so may have the same problem with the small loulou. :)

The small puffer is a great size, and it hits at a great place crossbody or with shoulder wear. The small loulou hit at a good place for shoulder carry. So if you’re looking to mainly use it that way it would work well. Or if you like your crossbody bags hanging low. I wish I had a pic, but the bottom of the bag almost touched the top of my knee, and that’s way too low for me.

I am going to the Soho location tomorrow. I hope they have a good selection so I can give them all a try. Thanks so much for your insights! I'll let you know how it works out.

I ended up liking the small loulou the best. I didn't purchase but I am looking around to see if I can find a sale or atleast 10% cashback on Rakuten. :)

Oh, nice! I’m sure there will be a sale again soon. Farfetch always seems to have 10% off promo codes as well. What color are you thinking?

I want the dark beige. Most of my bags are dark and I need to change things up. :)

That color is gorgeous. I ordered the toy loulou from either Saks or Nordies a while back during a sale in dark beige. It was canceled due to being out of stock, and I was so bummed as it was before the price increase too. Such a pretty and versatile color.

I just ordered from saks as they had the gift card promo. I hope mine does not get canceled! I'm usually a Chanel reissue girl and was so pleased with the quality and functionality of this bag --and the price is so affordable compared to the Chanel flaps. Really impressed!
