C$950
This piece elevates a life-sustaining object that I have always resented needing and having to carry it around. When I reflect about what these puffers really mean to me, I realize they don’t deserve the rough treatment of being tossed around or squished into a bag. Their fading labels and odd shapes are fixtures in my daily life and should be appreciated as much as what’s on the inside.
