Move over puffer coats, there’s a new quilted hun in town and she’s the perfect year-round accessory.
There’s no denying that when it comes to fashion we are big supporters of all things soft and cosy. As die-hard fans of the much-loved duvet coat, we can totally get on board with the latest squishy trend. While a puffer jacket keeps you toasty warm, a puffer bag keeps you looking cool. If you’ve already bagged yourself the infamous Uniqlo shoulder bag (if you know you know) and you’re looking for your next piece of arm candy, we’ve got you covered babe.
Just like bomber jackets, puffer bags were a big deal on the catwalks and have been spotted on the shoulders of all the most fashion-forward street stylers. So there’s no surprise that we’re now seeing an array of quilted cuties popping up all over the high street. The cloud-like accessory comes in many shapes and forms. Pick up a roomy tote for shopping and trips to the gym. Or opt for a cross-body for brunch dates and weekend outings. Puffer bags aren’t just cute, they're versatile too.
As we edge closer to Spring and reluctantly swap our cosy puffers for lighter jackets, get your dose of soft and squishy with a quilted bag instead. Shop our pick of the best puffer bags on the high street for your cosiest arm candy yet.
