Re-reading what's on the website it seems like this is how the individually packaged charms/SLGs will ship while supplies last of the special boxes: the regular Loewe box with a HMC tag and possibly a bag.
Got my Howl strap from Sak's today, no special packaging at all. Debating if I should keep since I'm not sure if the black strap matches with my sand puzzle bag that much... what do you guys think?
I like the strap, but not with that bag. I guess you have to buy another bag :’D
Ahhh I’m so jealous I dilly dallied on ordering on the strap and now can’t find it anywhere in stores - agree with @cilucia, your only option is to get another bag hahaha
It's a stunning strap. If you can afford to keep for use in the future with another black bag from LOEWE or another brand, keep it.
Very unique and doesn't scream Ghibli collaboration.
That's so cute. What's the inside like? Is there a card slot? Does it fit a phone? I'm so jealous. It's so cute!
I visited my pop-up today, and had a very pleasant time.
Was not surprised to see that the majority of the items left over were Calficer items (even some people were vocally complaining about not finding anything other than Calcifer), Heen stuff was also available. I was surprised to see all of the Turnip Head stuff sold out, I guess JWA didn't anticipate how popular he would be.
Surprisingly, all of the charms (including dice) were in stock, didn't expect it. I saw the rock paper scissors Christmas tree one in person and fell in love it, so much for my "I'm only going there to take pictures". haha.
What was available was weird. Most of the RTW were out of stock, and they just had display units out, that they weren't allowed to sell. The 23 Amazona (light blue) was available, however, one of them had horrible creases on Sophie's face.. (it's too soon for her to get wrinkles!). The cow bags and charms were also available. and the big shocker... The Castle behemoth backpack was available as well!!
I also wore my new black puzzle today, and noticed that there was a black stain on my white shirt from the strap... I hope it's not permanent...

Uncertain, the SAs during the 2/1 evening event each had a different version of the story but basically there was only one left because however many that arrived had been sold by one SA who was selling way before launch or presale event. Also possible they just hadn't received everything but they specifically remarked the cow was impossible to get in and the one that they had would not be sold to anyone (would only sell during the general launch). I thought I was being nice waiting on items so my SA would get the commission so I didn't hunt for it during the website launch or Selfridges
Ooh is there any chance you could please share photos of the rock paper scissors? I have been going back and forth over it but there is no Loewe anywhere near me sadly. It's still ATB so I keep debating...
Sadly, I've packed it up already, but its similar to the images on the website, just more muted bright olive green. The product image on the LOEWE website is a really good representation. But the image of it on the Amazona 23 is really dark, but you can see how it looks like when attached to a bag.
It's one of those "if you know, you know" pieces. I've never gotten a charm from LOEWE, but this was got my attention, especially since we finally figured out where it came from. And I also think that unlike the other charms, you can actually add a lot to it from other collections without it being too much.
Thanks for the info! The photo of it on the Amazona is actually the one that is throwing me off. I like the way it looks in the other photos but when I see that photo, it makes me second guess. I managed to get ahold of the 2 brass charms from this collection but I don't have a strap for them so maybe I will grab it and use it for that
