(Yes, I stuck the cookie pouch in my Christmas tree to take a picture, because you can pry Christmas from my cold dead hands)

My order arrived in 3 different boxes. No additions with the cookie pouch (which I actually bought to put my beat pod pros case in because it doesn’t fit in any of my airpod pro carriers since I lost my airpods and replaced them with the beats- its a perfect fit!)

Scarf came with stickers and coal susuwatari tag, as well as sususwatari tissue paper

Flamenco bag came with outer box sleeve and stickers

So extras were kind of all over the place. I was hoping for themed sleeves on each box but they only put it in the most expensive item….

Overall quality of the items is excellent. I have no regrets!!

(If you can manage to catch it, I did put my unboxing on my ig stories, firstwenproblems)

My bracelet bag arrived from MyTheresa! It came without any Loewe packaging apart from the dust bag, but I’ve also just spotted that the pleating has a flaw. I’m not likely to get another based on the sales of this launch, but this is on the side which is likely to be on show. Would you keep it? I’m a little sad!

Not sure if this helps put your mind at ease, this bracelet bag (from Matchesfashion) also has folds across the pleats. Maybe it's a quirk of the bag? In which case - keep your bag :smile:
 
Comparison of this collab's susuwatari mini puzzle and the Totoro collab's heel bag!

Oh thanks for this side by side! I've been looking at online pics of the Totoro susuwatari puzzle to compare to my new mini. The shades of brown are different (finally confirmed in your pic) and they have gone for more detail amongst the soots. I quite like that you can tell apart which collection it is, they clearly put time in for a fresh design.
 
This scarf... Wow it looks fab on you! This launch has really made me pay more attention to the RTW and accessories, I'll have to prepare for a bigger splurge with next year's collab :smile:

thank you! It’s honestly so big I’m just going to use it as a shawl most of the time. Really warm and fluffy, though.

The one RTW I really wanted from this collection was the Kaonashi leather jacket, but I need to try on clothes before buying, especially for a collab like this with such a high price point and no way to exchange for another size as things will likely be sold out by the time I receive the order… when I was looking at a video of someone trying it on I was like yup there is high likelihood the sleeves would have been waaaay too long, too hard to get tailored locally.
 
(On a related note -- for anyone else who ordered multiple items in the same order that shipped at the same time, did you also receive each item in a separate shipping box (but same tracking number)? I vaguely recall my Totoro order (2 items) coming in separate shipping boxes, and my 4 items this time also came in 4 separate shipping boxes, even though I'm sure the smaller SLG boxes could've been combined at least 2 in 1 box, if not all 3 in the same box! Doesn't seem like the most environmentally-friendly way to ship these orders, and it also makes me wonder if that's why they are inconsistent with packing the stickers etc with each order (eg if different people packed the different shipping boxes for 1 order, and they all assumed the others would include the stickers instead, so no one ended up including the stickers :-s )...)

I ordered 4 small things, 3 in one order, 1 in a seperate order. Each one was shipped seperately (notification each different time) with four different tracking number. Not sure how they will arrive.
Missed UPS twice now because they keep changing the delivery slots over the day at least twice (I organized my mom to stay at my apartment), but showing up many many hours prior to the announced delivery time anyway. Cannot change it online (their webpage keep erroring for that purpose) and a phone call was not helpful either…
Hope it works out today, otherwise I fear the parcels will go back. So afraid of that…!
 
I would probably email them to see if there's anything they could do but otherwise would keep it. I'm sorry though, that's really frustrating :sad: Is it possible to see more zoomed out photos? Maybe it's not as noticeable as you think
Just bring it to a Loewe shop and see what they can sort out for you. At most, they can repair it. At worse, you can choose to keep it if they offer a refund.

After all, it is a matter of unstitching and restitching the part ,where the leather marquetry is, back onto the leather. It’s their QC issue.

Here’s a pic of how I’d normally wear it, it’s a shame the creasing is on that side and not close to my body! It’s as if it was beautifully done and then someone sat on it, but it was wrapped ok from MyTheresa.

Yeah I’ll contact MyTheresa first as that’s who I purchased through, but will try Loewe also as I did expect better from the quality! B418CE33-E6E2-4E95-8CDF-E44E16A1547A.jpeg
 
Best not to approach a cobbler but Loewe first. If it is touched by a cobbler, it may affect Loewe’s warranty on it.

Thanks for the advice and these images guys! It does look like a common issue doesn’t it? It just doesn’t make sense when the rest of the bag is pleated so beautifully!

Side note - that green colour :loveeyes:
