Selfridge also cancelled my order for the blueberry puzzle even though the website showed 4 in stock at the time of order

If you go I would love to know what they have!
I’m pinching myself for not getting the black puzzle or the yellow Heen one. I received my mini Rust Calcifer and I love it more than I thought I would.
Selfridges says the giant castle is an edition of 24, that's the only one I've seen
There's a small black puzzle and both Heen puzzles at the Rodeo boutique, uncertain if they can ship orders tho...
I called the Loewe in Costa Mesa and they said all calcifer brass dice are out of stock in the whole US. Fingers crossed they appear on the Loewe site again, since I've pretty much given up on Selfridges at this point and it's the last item I wanted.
FWIW my cow charm (presale) shipped, and turnip head brass dice (2/2) is still in prep.

Totally agree! I used the susuwatari puzzle bag in Japan and got asked the whole time, is that Makkuro kurosuke ?! I like that it's known for those in the know.
I also ordered the heel pouch. I think it will be good bag for anywhere that you only need 1 ID and 1 credit card. But mainly just for fashion like how the mini/micro bags are.
Fingers crossed! I would loooooove a Princess Mononoke collection so badly. Can already picture all of the wolf god bags I’d want to get!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
I hope the brand stays with its iykyk branding, as that’s such a huge part of its appeal. Jonathan Anderson has done a great job building this niche, artsy branding and selecting niche artists to be the face of Loewe. I don’t think they’ll change in the near future though unless JA leaves. LVMH has other flashy anagram heavy brands, surely having a diverse portfolio only helps their business.
I’ve had same issues with Selfridges payments as others! When I spoke to customer service they just said to try another browser and payment method. Even tried checking out as a guest on a new browser but didn’t work. So must be fake stock not allowing it to go through.
I’m in the UK and my mini black puzzle still hasn’t shipped from Loewe :/ Their customer care said it should be fine but I just want that darn shipping confirmation!

Same! I know Totoro, Spirited Away and HMC are usually the big three, but Mononoke is my personal fav. I would love to see some designs with the kodama.
Also a little after I made my post, I got my shipping notification for my coin cardholder!
That pop of orange looks great on you @fettfleck !
Dropped by Selfridges today for the Cloud Room. There was a queue for the Corner Shop and I wasn’t really keen to queue up so didn’t. I saw the black and rust Puzzles on display though, as well as the yellow Heen & blue Calcifer. There were still some charms left but I couldn’t see if there were any of the dice (leather or brass). I popped by the cafe for some take away cookies and a coffee.
Have an afternoon tea booking next week so will post some photos of the food then.
The Cloud Room was just 5 sections and could be done in about 10 minutes.

Still part of my Loewe x HMC day, lol, went to see this one at Marble Arch
And then headed over to Piccadilly Circus hoping to catch the 3D animation but couldn’t wait for it any longer as there were so many people and a group that looked rowdy which made me anxious so we left. I didn’t know that the animation is every half of the hour, but that would have meant waiting for about 45 minutes so I’m still glad we left as my anxiety with crowded areas would have been too much to bear. Loewe has the animation on their insta:
