i have one from a few years ago---and it's slouches but it is absolutely gorgeous. Not a scratch on it.
I always check out fashionphile if there's any bags I'm curious about how it would wear. I personally looove Loewe smooth calfskin and the way it slouches overtime, it develops sleek, beautiful curves imo. Not too fond of their grained leather since I saw some on fashionphile and some of the grained leather look bumpy/tired.
I guess it depends on how you'd care for it. I bought my smooth calfskin puzzle preloved bcs the seasonal color I wanted was no longer produced, and I know that even with preloved, the smooth calfskin maintains overall silhouette very well. If I ever want the grained leather, I think I prefer to get it brand new

The smooth calfskin and the grained calfskin both slouch the same in my experience. Both are also equally durable. I have read otherwise, but I’m speaking from my experience of owning both and treating both bags with the same amount of care or carelessness.
I have a large Puzzle in grained. It definitely slouches once it’s worn a few times but in a great way. I’m guessing that the large size is a big part of why mine slouches BUT I also foolishly stored it for just a little while folded the way it’s “meant to be folded” and it creased the leather a lot. Mine now has a huge crease across the large panels on the front and some on the side which make it slouch more. In retrospect, I would have never stored it this way.
I have a grained small puzzle from last year. Only worn it a handful of times and the slouch is developing nicely.
Also, it's such a durable leather, I was very nervous given the purity of white but it's not had any issues so far.

What I have the same one in mini size. Love it. It’s incredibly durable and functions as a travel bag
Is that the Tan that has the grained leather? That’s the one I’ve been wanting based on what I’ve read here (I think)!
So there's two types of leather- soft grained calfskin (what my bag is, you can see the grain in the pictures) and classic calfskin (smoother, slightly more sheen).
The classic calfskin has the Tan colour. The soft grained calfskin has Light Caramel but not Tan.
I am curious did you treat the leather to prevent color transfer? I have the same bag.
No I haven't treated the bag at all but I am mindful of what I wear it with. Have you had colour transfer issues?
