this post makes me so happy - more photos people!!!
Most people probably were wondering, what I was doing, running around with a comic thingy on a pretty bright bag and a shopping tote with a pretty metrosexual looking anime guy…

But serious talk, what do you do with a heel pouch? It was so pretty, but I am not sure how to use it…
 
Ahh! The nugget is so cute on you! You’ve convinced me with your mod shots, and after seeing @cyncynn post of the Markl nugget, I want one too. What is the limit on purchases for the collection? From Loewe, I ordered the small Calcifer rust puzzle, turnip head card holder, and Magical Sky hammock. Puzzle will be delivered early next week, so I think I’ll return it for the nugget as I have the Bo puzzle. Hammock hasn‘t shipped. I don’t want to risk getting it cancelled by ordering over limit. Does limit count towards purchases on MyTheresa? I ordered the yellow Calcifer strap, Calcifer charm, and orange card holder from there. Omg, listing it all out here makes me realize I need to go to back to ban island :yes:
Just came back from the city picking up my coin card holder from Loewe! I finally choose the rust one over the blue one. Matches better with my Spirited Away Puzzle, too.

Took my Calcifer Nugget for a spin and love it! Easy to carry and spacious, so that I even could pack 2 grocery thingys into it. Sorfy for the weirdo photo again. Was in a cabin with my friend who was trying on coats!

The Loewe store was not superfull. But it is still awaiting pieces therefore there was not too much decor. In the middle section there were 4 HMC puzzles, rust and black. They still had a Sophie Heel (so cute, but kind of small, not sure how to use it) and the leather and brass dices. I probably need one…

One supercute SA, who showed me the Sophie pouch told me that they are still awaiting Amazonas, Bracelet pouch and I think the Tote with the castle, but I did not ask whether they are already reserved.

I was surprised how big the Bracelet pouch was! What a good size, thought it was tiny. The did not have the Heen one there yet… Probably I need that one, too… *sigh* Where is the money tree. The SA was so cute, she wanted to keep wearing the Sophie pouch and then went on to put it out for decor with some Calcifer brass dices. Saying those need to be seen. And better many than one Calcifer brass dice. Loved that attitude!

They keep claiming payment issues but my Amex is running the transaction easily, then just immediately returning
Yeah I tried it with my Amex and 2 different MasterCards, and tried through PayPal and my partner's Amex and PayPal, as well as my aunt's credit card (not sure which card). If you try PayPal, you'll notice that after signing in on PayPal, it already fails as soon as it returns to Selfridges. There is no fail message but if you look at the url, it says failure. Just seems like there are bugs in their system

Aww, thank you. :heart: I wasn‘t sure about the color first, because it is an unusual color for me, but when it came, I just love it. And the idea of carrying a fire around. :lol:
The cute SA actually told me she has a coat in that kind of orange and every time she wears it (very brave, bag yes, but I don‘t think I can do a coat in that color, but I am sure she looks great in it with her light complexion, envious), she gets compliments and people light up. And I think she is right. The bright color also makes me happy looking at it. Love that.

Love your selection btw. I think I read that limit is 5 pieces, but not everything counts? Remember Dice bags e.g. don‘t count. And I don‘t think MyTheresa is involved, but that the limit is just for the Loewe website.

Oh and I nearly bought sunglasses. Loewe has some fabulous ones.

Well your bag is literally fire. :D Does the skinny strap bother you? Maybe not over a thick coat? I’m still going to look for a better option for my Markl nugget.

As you said, not over that thick coat… I have to test it with thinner outerwear. But actually I like that the strap is not too thick, probably looks more elegant, less sporty, especially as it is orange…

What kind of strap are you thinking of for your Markle bag (so cute, btw. and such a gorgeous color!)?
 
For people who only received a shipping email from DHL but not from Loewe is there an easy way to figure out what was shipped before it arrives? Account orders still list everything as “in preparation”
 
It seems like the same items received the same packaging. The mini puzzles posted here and the one I bought came in the Howls box so I assume the card holder will be the white one with the tag. Not sure about UK, but I’m in the US and didn't receive any books/stickers/etc from Loewe in store and from my delivery.
bit disappointed it will only come in a white box, but still happy I managed to snag a piece from the collection
 
I’m not sure if it has been discussed here. According to the SA, it said that this will be their last collaboration. The ghibli asked to pick 3 fav movies. So since this the third, it will be the last per agreement. But who knows.
I imagine it depends on the financial success of the three collections, and how much a licensing extension would cost.

As much as I would love a Princess Mononoke collection, I think Totoro, SA and HMC are the more popular movies and the other Ghibli movies might be too niche?

I think all the collections were super successful financially, so maybe it comes down to the licensing extension, though I don’t think it’ll happen :( also curious to see where the brand goes though given the skyrocketing popularity in the US, and it already being a household name in Asia.

Haha maybe... It takes one to know one!! BUT also so wonderful when someone stops you on the street and asks, IS THAT A SOOT SPRITE?!?!

Heel pouch I have no ideal, the marquetry is so fantastic but so useless when you have two cell phones. do you just put your must-have credit cards in there, plus your ID?
