Ugh. But I sure am enjoying my toasty warm feet in my new Kamiks!</p> <p>That Planetes bag looks like a great option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1159160 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 04:35:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1159160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh.&nbsp; I so feel you. </p> <p>I've been wearing my grey Nine West crossbody with my puffer.&nbsp; It's largish for a crossbody -- which works to balance the big puffer and my frame.&nbsp; I do find "wrassling" with the strap and hood to be a bit of a pain, so I like the idea of a tote, as long as I could wear it on my shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1159138 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 03:32:17 +0000 Suz 1159138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everybody. I really like these suggestions and I'm also grateful for the sympathy and commiseration. It does help to know that others are going through the same ordeal -- and also to know that some lucky souls are escaping it!!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;I am pretty set on getting a Planetes bag or similar -- loved that plum one, Diana. I'll do a search. I also found a pretty <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.danier.com/leather-handbags-all-handbags-131011318-P8014.aspx?lang=en&amp;colour=435|6dacca&amp;mc=yes">nice looking bag at Danier.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;But not waterproof and maybe a bit dressy. Still, it looks like a bag that could work well with my red wool coat also (should I ever get a chance to wear that again, ha ha) and might also transition quite well into spring.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1159101 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 02:43:27 +0000 Jaime 1159101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am no puffer expert but I like the idea of the Longchamp Planetes or something along those lines. Something that looks like it can withstand snow! Although I will add I am a recent convert to Zara bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat/page/2#post-1159098 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 02:40:58 +0000 shiny 1159098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This winter I am wearing the Bernardo packable puffer in Ocean Pearl:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bernardo-packable-goose-down-quilted-walker-coat-regular-petite/3566440?cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_ite=bernardo_packable_goose_down_quilted_walker_coat_(regular_&amp;_petite):940955&amp;cm_pla=outerwear:women:3/4_or_long_coat&amp;cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&amp;mr:referralID=2600781b-8ed8-11e3-9104-001b2166c62d"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bernardo-packable-goose-down-quilted-walker-coat-regular-petite/3566440" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/be.....te/3566440</a>?</a></p> <p>... without the belt (DH said "YIKES that belt is ghastly" and it hasn't been seen since)....</p> <p>with this Coach cross body in black:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/Product-madison_small_sadie_flap_satchel_in_saffiano_leather-10551-10051-27850-en">http://www.coach.com/online/ha.....leather-10</a></p> <p>And I'm really *loving* how the two look together!&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, there's no room to stuff gloves, hat and mittens into this bag.

It's not the most elegant or exciting bag, but it fits easily over the puffer and looks innocuous enough.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/steven-by-steve-madden-lighten-up-satchel/3542136?origin=related-3542136-0-3-3-4-DL_also_viewed&amp;PageCategoryId=PP">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/st.....ed-3542136</a> </p> <p>Dee reminded me that I do get annoyed because the hood keeps getting caught under the straps and I have to lift the bag up before I can pull it up.

Sounds silly to mention this, but actually, once you have done this gesture several times in a day, it's a bit of a drag.</p> <p>Or a banana shaped puffer purse! Yes, you can get those in Outdoor Gear stores.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1159059 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 01:57:54 +0000 Dee 1159059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a big fan of cross-body bags with puffers. I always manage to catch them on the collar or hood and end up doing this bizarre dance to get it off! But that could just be due to my own lack of coordination. I like totes with big enough shoulder straps to sit comfortably and sturdy enough to stay in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1159049 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 01:50:50 +0000 Debora 1159049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I usually carry a satchel with my puffer. I'm visiting NYC and I switched out to my Longchamp Le Pliage on Monday after a morning run to the coffee shop soaked my leather bag. The Longchamp tote is waterproof and it served me well the rest of the day as I trekked through snowy Manhattan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1159033 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 01:35:15 +0000 Angie 1159033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something large and pretty casual. I would head over to Zara and look at their collection of shoppers. Zara's bags are excellent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1159009 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 01:08:15 +0000 PamelaK 1159009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Diana's suggestion of the&nbsp;<span>Planetes.

I call it my Big Gun coat - it is the warmest coat I own. Last night the zipper failed and I was mortified. I got it working again thanks goodness,&nbsp;because I am in the same snow corridor as the lovely Suz!<br />We are also boot twins with the grey Kamiks.&nbsp;<br />I have worn my wool peacoat maybe one time. There is no room for vanity in a polar vortex! Hahaha.<br />Ok to the purse question: I am switching between 2 purses: a Roots black leather cross body, and a Le Sak black leather hobo style purse. Whatever you wear must be washable due to the salt and grime that gets everywhere. For me, I switched to the Roots because I needed my hands free for sports with children. The first purse Merwoman showed I also have and it is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1158966 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 23:44:22 +0000 Vicki 1158966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I feel for you, Suz, and sense you are ready for some better weather. &nbsp;Wish I could send you some.</p> <p>If warmer days are&nbsp;not around the corner, purse shopping seems like just the ticket and I agree with Diana on the Lonchamp. &nbsp;I had a black leather Longchamp tote, which I adored, for many years. &nbsp;A cross-body satchel could work, as well, and what about a pretty deep charcoal color to go with the blue-grey? &nbsp;Or, a cobalt blue or teal, perhaps?</p> <p>Stay warm and I'll send some sun your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1158958 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 23:35:29 +0000 deb 1158958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something like this with a zipper, a more rounded shape to accent the plumpness of the puffer, and a cross body option.

I didn't buy it for puffer pairing, but I've liked using my big grey ostrich skin textured tote from Target (MaryK has one, maybe in tan). The handles fit over a puffer-clad arm and it's big enough to function as a small shopper for me. They had one in navy that I wish I'd bought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1158930 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:55:07 +0000 Lisa 1158930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a bag with a very long strap, otherwise it will not stay on my arm with a puffer coat.&nbsp; The photo is old, but the brown/black bag on the far right is my winter bag since it has a long strap and is very wide.&nbsp; It doesn't get lost against my black puffer coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1158913 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:28:46 +0000 gryffin 1158913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love my coach annabelle with pretty much everything.&nbsp; I dont' think that's what you are going for Suz.&nbsp; But I've got the crossbody and top handle and since my puffer is black it blends in.&nbsp; I thought Diana's suggestion was a great one especially if you need a tote size!!&nbsp; Also you could keep a small day bag inside if you needed something more formal.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-style-of-bag-looks-good-with-a-puffer-coat#post-1158900 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:02:26 +0000 Kt 1158900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to prefer a smaller crossbody satchel....fuschia is a great bright for the neutral puffer.
