Loewe Puzzle colour decision

Honestly, I think both blues are fairly neutral and will work with many other colors. In my experience, bags that provide some contrast against your typical wardrobe colors look best. For example, I wear A LOT of black. Most black bags disappear when my outfit is almost entirely black, so I tend to buy bags that are neutral, yet also offer some contrast to make my outfit more interesting. My tan colored bags are my favorites to wear with black and navy.
Also worth noting, matching navy blues can be difficult, so I vote for Ocean. But both are lovely!

In color, hardware and leather ocean looks more fashion forward. Midnight looks like a fancy under de radar workhorse. These bags are meant to slouch. If this will be an every day bag, ocean will be a lovely puddle sooner that midnight.
I think ocean is beautiful but the gold on midnight elevates the bag. Silver just looks more casual. I would go for midnight.

Both beautiful but love the blue. I also really like the coat you were wearing in the picture.

The pebbled leather is actually known to slouch more easily, and you may prefer that. I have a Puzzle in the smooth calfskin leather, and it has maintained its shape with a Samorga bag organizer. The leather is hard wearing, and any scratches have buffed out easily with my finger.

As Loewe is said to be the Spanish Hermès I think it would be helpful to collect information on their leather types. I have never held their bags in my hands, unfortunately and the lockdown doesn't make it easier. So I figured any pictures, information on slouch, how it's holding up against...

May I know which organiser you purchased? The Samorga website has 2mm and 1.2mm thickness options (https://samorga.com/product/puzzle-s-lo-puzzle-small-bag-size-organizer/)
At the time I purchased my organizer, Samorga did not offer the 1.2mm thickness. I have 2mm, and think it is preferable for maintaining shape.
Depends on your personality and wardrobe, of course, but the navy bag seems more practical to me. The other color is nice, but just like with a car, I would eventually get tired of the lighter brighter shade of blue. I own a navy reissue bag and use it all of the time. It is a great neutral! Navy Looks great with denim imo. I have a bright blue goyard St. Louis and like using it only occasionally when I feel like carrying a bag that screams “look at me.” Maybe it’s just me ,but I prefer any bag that cost more than $2k to be neutral, where as if I want a fun color it’s usually less than $2k. Hope this helps!
Thanks! I got the 2mm too, to maintain the structure. I've only used my puzzle for a week but it's already a bit out of shape :/ hope the structure maintains well over time...
I think the Puzzle gets more slouchy when carried by the handle, regardless of organizer. I pick mine up by the handle often, but usually wear it crossbody. I like the Puzzle with or without slouch, but I think wearing it crossbody or on the shoulder delays the slouching most.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of the slouch. I even hang my medium puzzle by the handle on a hook overnight to reinforce the slouch!
