I'd been wanting a Puzzle for a while, but nothing that made me pull the trigger until I saw this beauty in the lunar new year capsule collection. When I saw this Spring Jade Small Puzzle in store, I understood what it means when a bag makes your heart sing, so here is my early birthday present to myself. The colour on the website doesn't do it justice, and actually this photo (no filter, natural sunlight) also doesn't do it justice, it's a hard colour to accurately capture on camera, I think. It's definitely more saturated in real life, and Spring Jade is an accurate name! It's almost got a luminescent quality to the colour, which is why I think it shows as more pale through a camera.
I'm not well versed in
Loewe leather, but from what I can feel, this bag's satin calfskin is buttery smooth and does not have a slick finish. It also smells like divine leather, no plastic or chemical scent. There is no grain on the leather, but it does show gorgeous characteristics of veining and other natural aspects. It most definitely has wrinkles, but they do not appear to be a result of pulling during the crafting of the bag. It appears to simply be the characteristics of the leather. I'm not about to try and scratch this bag, but I wouldn't say that this satin calfskin appears any more fragile than lambskin.
