I have wanted to add a Puzzle bag for a while, but kept postponing it, especially after the price increase. Recently, I ordered a small grained leather Puzzle in Artichoke Green from Browns Fashion as the price was really good. (I had never heard of Browns Fashion before a TPFer brought them up, and found via online research that they are a legitimate company out of Europe selling authentic new designer items). I placed my order on a Tuesday and received my bag that Friday. Nervous about what I might find when I opened the package, I was ecstatic to find the bag in mint condition: no defects at all whatsoever, and the leather felt as wonderful as all the reviews I have read. The dust bags and care booklet and informational card all look correct per the You Tube videos I have watched. Everything is absolutely perfect to my Loewe-novice eyes, and I am already planning my outfit to wear it with. Then I realized there is no leather tab inside the bag on the left-hand side of the pocket with the bag code, like what some of the You Tube videos have shown. I can't find it anywhere inside. I am really disappointed and stressed that I may have just paid for a dupe, and it is just so perfect in all ways except for this!
I did notice on You Tube that some of the puzzles of the same size have 1 pocket on the front and back interior, while some only have 1 interior pocket on the back. I am hoping with baited breath that this date code tab situation is just another variation maybe for this color, and that the code is somewhere else.
Can small sized Puzzle owners please check their bags for the tab and let me know if any of yours does not have it (or even to confirm yours does have it)? It would really be very helpful. Thank you.
Attaching a couple pictures of mine.
