Saint Laurent Puffer Review

This is one of those handbags that had me at “hello.”  I initially saw it at Nordstrom and by the time I went back to purchase it, it had sold out.  Thus began my quest of “oh yes, it will be mine.”

I purchased it on a hope and a prayer – AKA got charged for it while Saint Laurent tried to locate one – and luckily, it came through.

Check out the fun Reel I created to debut it.

The Saint Laurent Loulou Puffer comes in several materials and sizes and honestly, it’s a fabulous and very practical bag.  I can see myself adding another one to my collection.

Here’s what you need to know if you are considering one.

Sizes

They come in mini, small and medium.

I have the medium and it’s very roomy.  If you’re a mom (like me) it’s great for carrying all of your belongings as well as stuff for your child. That said, the mini and small still give you a decent amount of space.  This isn’t a bag where the smallest size is basically useless because it’s so tiny.

The long chain allows it to be worn as a shoulder bag or a crossbody.  This dual functionality is SO convenient.

I also love how malleable it is.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a structured bag, but the soft leather (or denim in this case) make it really easy for transporting. Plus, it’s lightweight.  It makes a great travel bag.

Puffer vs. Loulou

Saint Laurent calls this style the “Puffer” but many other retailers refer to it as the “Loulou Puffer.”  The “Loulou” is quite similar, but you’ll notice that the stitching is closer together making it a lot less “puffy” than the Puffer.

Personally, I prefer the Puffer over the Loulou.  It looks a lot more unique IMO and sets this apart as a style Saint Laurent exclusively created.

Materials

I’ve never been one to gravitate towards exotics or limited edition styles when it comes to handbags, but in this case, I think Saint Laurent nailed it.

I love that mine is made of vintage denim.  The shearling one is so fun too.  Even this metallic one is still versatile enough for every day.

Top 5 Favorites – September 2021

Advocate The Label t-shirtYou loved these wide leg jeans… I do too.

September is a transition month and your Top 5 Favorites were a great mix of summer and fall pieces.

Saint Laurent Handbag

This bag may not have generated a ton of sales, but it did generate tons of traffic.  I debuted it in a fun, 80’s inspired Reel.  I love the size, the crossbody/shoulder strap feature and that it’s vintage denim.  Pretty much my dream bag.

Wide Leg Jeans

These jeans are my first from the brand and I’m really impressed.  I love the wider leg, 100% cotton denim and the fact that the inseam isn’t super long.  They hit right under my belly button – the perfect height IMO.  Anyone else feel like high waisted jeans are getting too high?

Loafers

I did some major loafer window shopping in September.  I took home this pair and this pair.  I love the alternate colors they come in and how comfy they are.  While I loved them both, I ultimately returned them and went with this pair.  The crisscross leather looks so chic and the chunky rubber sole gives them an edge I adore.

Flat Sandals

These are truly the comfiest sandals ever.  They come in 10 colors and are on sale for under $70.  Highly recommend.

Loungewear Set

This summer loungewear set got a ton of wear (I’m still wearing it!).  I love that the top looks great with high waisted jeans and the shorts are chic enough to wear outside the house.

Bonus points: it’s currently 60% off.
