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.
