How is your Loewe holding up?

Hi! Can i hear your thoughts, having a hard time deciding whether to get the loewe puzzle in classic calf or the soft grained leather. I read that the classic smooth calf retains its shape more and will last longer, is this true?

I'm not sure but you can always get an organizer. I have the classic smooth in black and have used it so so much since late last year and it's marvelous. Any scuffs or scratches just buff out with a microfiber cloth and it develops a nice patina. I love it so much

I have a reddish orange small hammock in smooth calf I’ve used everywhere for the last month and it’s held up beautifully!

curious to see how do you make it more secure? Been wanting to get hammock but the opening is too wide especially when you carry it crossbody. I'm a mom of two so I guess I'll be carrying it crossbody a lot.

If it’s not overly stuffed it won’t gap open! I find the sides kinda close into each other! You can also use the interior hook. I personally have had no problems with it. In today’s world I’m not going to get close enough to someone to give them a chance to pickpocket! The secret is do not over stuff, it’s not a tote bag!
I’ve used mine for two months straight, no scratches, even corners look great!
Just switched to my zipper puzzle (like Megs) !

Here's my Medium Puzzle in the classic Tan/Gold colour, and I have had it since Jan 2020 and have used it consistently, at least twice a week, and I must say the quality is impeccable... absolutely zero corner wear, zero glazing issues, zero scratches on the hardware, minus the feet, etc. The only thing that has 'aged' is the softening of leather over continuous use, as well as being constantly stuffed with items inside - which can be most evidently in the body of the bag, and also the handle, as I like to hand carry it a lot). The only thing that has some wear is that the light coloured fabric interior has some dirt marks, but that could be easily resolved if I bothered to clean it - so that's on me.

Below is a side by side comparison of my Puzzle when it was about a week old (left, taken on the 8th Jan 2020) and on the right (taken on the 11th April 2021).

Hope this helps anyone in deciding! Long story short, I highly recommend it, and I am intending on getting the OG Small Puzzle, and the Mini Puzzle in the future - because I like the design and functionality of the bag so much!

Hopping on this thread to seek some advice on my new Loewe Hammock. I just received the bag from 24S but noticed the glazing on one side of the bag is incomplete. It is pretty obvious when the bag is being carried. Would the Loewe store be able to fix the glazing issue or should I return it ? :sad:

Personally this would really bother me and I would return it. :sad: Hope you find one in better condition.

Hi guys! A newbie here. I was wondering if someone could help me with an advice. I purchased a gorgeous Loewe puzzle in smooth calfskin about two weeks ago and have worn it maybe twice after that. Mind you, usually I am very careful with my bags. So I noticed that the area near the opening started to rip. From various YouTube videos I learned that it can happen with time, but I am very surprised that it happened so fast. Should I return it if possible?

I doubt it has anything to do with you carrying the bag. I’ve seen a few brand new ones in stores with such issues. I think it’s the artisan that didn’t finish the ends well.

Hi could you please update what did you do with the bag? Did you repair it?
