Does anyone happen to have a comparison photo or have seen both leathers near one another. I'm considering a Loewe puzzle in their classic Tan but I already have a Hermes Kelly 35 in Gold that I haven't used much. I plan to make more use of the Kelly because she's been a bit neglected recently and I don't want to be too redundant with the colors. Are they really as similar as others have mentioned before? I realize they are very different bags but I fear having a puzzle bag that is almost the same color as my Kelly will cause my Kelly to continue her lonely journey in my closet. TIA!
 
My mom has a classic tan puzzle in smooth leather. I recall it’s very similar to H gold. im not at home so cannot take pics.
I will say that my off white loewe mini puzzle (both crossbody and handheld) gets significantly more use than any Hermes kelly or Birkin that I own. Even if you got a different color puzzle, they are much easier, grab and go bags.

Thanks for your feedback and the link! Super similar in color but such different bags. I just got a small black puzzle and I already love the size. Since tan is a classic I’ll wait until I travel to Europe and will try it on.
 
I have the Tan puzzle in classic calfskin and a Gold Birkin 35, but in Swift from 2006, which seems to be darker than the Togo/Epsom Gold nowadays. And I agree with @880, my Puzzle (though the Medium size) gets so much more use than my H bags. It's lighter, hands-free, molds to the body when worn and won't get ruined if caught in a bit of rain. Simply perfect for most occasions, especially travelling.
