Want to hop on the puffy bag trend but can’t get your hands on insanely popular bags from Beyond The Vines or The Paper Bunny? These viral bags have been sold out longer than they have been available, and you might be anxious about not being able to snatch up one before the trend dies. Get onboard the trend with these 10 affordable puffer bags that you can easily find in stores and on Shopee, all for under S$17!
1. Cloud Pleated Underarm Bag (ransel.sg)
If you missed your chance to get your hands on the CARLYN bags that have been selling out on The Editors’ Market, here’s your chance to get a similar-looking one from ransel.sg.
CARLYN’s SOFT series is beloved by Korean celebrities like Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon and Seulgi from Red Velvet. Ransel.sg carries affordable puffer bags of a similar style from just S$11.43 in various colours ranging from khaki to pink, black and more so you can match with your favourite celebrities!

2. Large Capacity Hobo Shoulder Bag (FOCUS BAG.sg)
The bag that kickstarted the whole puffer bag craze — Blackpink Jennie’s COS Quilted Oversized Shoulder Bag has been sold out for the longest time now. But, you can pacify the fashionista in you with FOCUS BAG’s budget version. Of course, it can’t match the real COS bag in terms of design and material, but it’s been met with a ton of great reviews online, so you know it’s a good bargain .
True to size and available in multiple colours, the Large Capacity Hobo Shoulder Bag offers plenty bang for your buck. Depending on which shade you choose, prices range from S$10.85 to S$11.80.

3. Super Soft Tote (amart.sg)
This puffy tote bag by amart.sg caught my eye for its perfect size and poufy pillowy squares. It hits the sweet spot for people like me that carry around large water bottles who do not want to commit to a bag as huge as the Hobo Shoulder Bag.
Clearly, I’m not the only one who appreciates it — the bag has garnered hundreds of five-star reviews, all raving about the tote’s perfectly proportioned strap, size and vibrant colour.

4. Pocopoco series (Daiso)
That’s right, our favourite dollar store is jumping on the trend with their own series of affordable puffer bags! Although the bags won’t be S$2, they are still reasonably priced from S$6.26 to S$9.60.
The bags come in three styles: the Tote Bag, Marche Bag and Shoulder Bag. Each style is available in the mini and regular size, and come in three colourways: white, black and purple.
My personal favourite is the Mini Tote Bag Pocopoco (S$6.26) in black — it’s just too cute to resist! But if you are willing to invest a little more for better materials, you might wanna check out the other options in this listing.

5. Puffer Mini (QIYY Bag Store)
QIYY Bag Store has mini puffer bags that have a more cloud-like appearance than Daiso’s Mini Tote, plus they even come with an internal compartment and in 12 different colours.
The Puffer Mini can fit your phone, wallet, and some light make up — perfect as a little date night bag. QIYY Bag Store has many other affordable puffer bags in different styles too, so check out their store if you are looking for ones with a larger capacity or puffy messenger bags. They’ve got some pretty good reviews too so you know they’re reliable!

6. Gummy Poffy Sling Bag (darlingangel.sg)
Beyond The Vines’ Poofy Bag currently is running low on stock (and selling out fast!). If you weren’t lucky enough to score yourself one, don’t worry we’ve got your back. The Gummy Poffy Sling Bag (S$13.93) is a great alternative to the BTV bag, and is just a fraction of its price!
Though it doesn’t have the same extensive range of colours as the Poofy Bag, there’s still a decent selection of colours that will go with almost any outfit.

7. Rhombic Square Tote (amart.sg)
Rarer than any other bags mentioned on this list is McDonalds’ McGriddles Patty Puffer Bag that only had 200 pieces available. If you would not rather support the scalpers on Carousell selling it for S$100, why not get the Rhombic Square Tote (S$12.42) instead?
Reviews have guaranteed that the tote is as soft and fluffy as it looks, with more than enough space for a 12-inch tablet. Although, you’ll have to pre-order this popular bag, with a waiting time of up to 10 days — but that’s just part and parcel of a worthy bargain.

8. Timebomb Puff Tote (timebomb_official.sg)
This Timebomb Puff Tote might not be an exact Paper Bunny Tote Bag dupe, but this bag is still luxuriously puffy and super spacious. While there aren’t any inner compartments in the bag, given that it is priced at just S$12.42 and waterproof, it’s still a great bargain for those who are looking for comfy bags suitable for daily use.
The Timebomb Puff Tote comes in two sizes, a regular and a large. The larger tote only costs S$14.03, and is offered in the same seven colours as the regular sized puff tote.

Going for a classy look? This rectangular Woven Cross-body Bag on tmnfj.sg stands out as one of their best-sellers. Perfectly rectangular, it has a style similar to Bottega Veneta’s Padded Tech Casette.
The strap is also soft and well-padded, which means you won’t experience any aches on your shoulder from carrying this bag all day. The bag goes for S$10.80 for the iconic green and up to S$13.82 for other colours.

10. Soft Chic Satchel Bag (superdeals888.sg)
At the time of writing, The Paper Bunny’s Puffer Swing is still out of stock and doesn’t look like it’s coming back onto the market anytime soon. To tide you over while you wait for the Paper Bunny bag to be restocked again, why not add the Soft Chic Satchel Bag to your collection? There’s always room for more puffy bags after all.
At just S$16.30, this satchel bag is slightly pricier compared to the other bags on this list. but considering how no other sellers on Shopee offer a similar style, it is worth every penny. This satchel can fit your phone, wallet, lipstick, keys and more comfortably.
