The last few seasons have largely been about playful fashion—from surreal details, platform shoes, to lots of denim. This also trickled down to accessories that have not only run the gamut in size but texture as well. The current mood? Squishy and plushy!
Puffer purses were the sac du jour late last year, but it appears this trend isn’t going anywhere. In fact, the fabric has even found its way to the enduring hobo bag. Aside from lending a fun vibe to your outfits, we reckon these squeezable, huggable puffer bags will also add some comfort throughout your day. Enough talk—you need to add these pieces to your designer bags collection!
