Fashion’s obsession with all things soft and comfortable has been well-documented over the past few years, but arguably anything that makes one feel cozy isn’t really a trend—it’s confirming a standard that clothes are best when they feel good on whoever is wearing them. So it stands to reason that puffer bags, one of the moment’s most plush accessory trends, have major staying power.
The puffer bag offers the same tactile delight and dimension as its popular counterpart, the puffer jacket. While the outerwear is known for its playful Michelin Man silhouette, squishy shape, and practical warmth, it naturally swings in and out of popularity as seasons change. The puffer bag, however, works all year round. The look is accomplished in several different ways, including with classic quilting, padded straps, and pillow-y volume—each adding a cushy, often whimsical element to whatever it’s paired with. Not to mention, it's something pleasant to grasp onto as it carries all your belongings.
Below, shop 22 of the best puffer bags that demonstrate why this comfy accessory trend is more than just a passing fad.
