Why the LouLou Puffer is iconic
The exaggerated, puffy quilting turned a classic chain bag into a distinctly contemporary statement that photographed beautifully and sold widely. It defined a wave of soft, cushioned luxury bags and remains a signature Vaccarello-era piece.
What to pay pre-owned
Pre-owned LouLou Puffers typically sell for around £1,100-£2,000 depending on size and condition, with a median near £1,492; the soft leather means condition of the padding and corners matters. Size (small, medium, large, toy), leather type, hardware colour and any deflation or scuffing to the puffed panels affect the price.
Sizes & variants
Offered in toy, small, medium and large, in soft quilted lambskin or calfskin, with gold, silver or tonal hardware, plus seasonal shearling and metallic editions.

Buying a pre-owned Saint Laurent LouLou Puffer — FAQs
Does the puffy shape hold up over time?
The padded panels can soften with heavy use, so pre-owned examples with plump, well-kept quilting and intact corners are the ones to prioritise.
Which size is best for daily use?
The medium balances capacity and proportion for everyday wear, the small is a neat crossbody, and the toy is a compact evening or mini option.
Is the leather delicate?
Soft lambskin versions are more prone to scuffs and marks than calfskin, so consider the leather type against how you plan to use the bag.
