I'm currently looking to add one more bag to my collection that is more for everyday use. The ones I've been eyeing lately are:
Loewe puzzle bag (medium or small) in Tan or Light Caramel
Pros: Love that its leather. Love the unique shape/design especially when it slouches. Love that its pretty lowkey and can be taken to work or somewhere I don't really want a label screaming at everyone. Can't decide between medium or small since I am 5' tall and alot of "medium" sized bags look too big.

LV Speedy 25
Pros: I heard the canvas is really durable and that its a good carefree bag.

Tory Burch Kira in Cloud Blue
Pros: Love love the color! Love that its leather.
Con: I already own a Small Loulou which has a similar shape/feel

I don't have any of the brands in my collection yet so they would be firsts :biggrin: Any insights or advice would be helpful and appreciated!

Since the speedy was on every 5 bags to have and to hold and the market is flooded with fakes, you either love or hate this one. I don't think there is a middle ground anymore.

If you already have the Loulou, I think the TB is redundant. Also read heaps of bad stories about it and that turned me off. I don't know how you feel about Rebecca Minkoff but I love Edie and it looks very much the same. They don't have a blue one. I feel light blue is everywhere now so I get the need for a blue bag.

I would pick the puzzle. The tan with silver hardware feels more edgy. The light caramel with gold hardware feels more classic. But I am thinking about the light caramel to, unless they make something more taupe, so I am very much biased.

I agree with you on the middle ground for the Speedy. Its always just been on my list of maybes and figured it might be the time to own it. I have owned Rebecca Minkoff bags in the past.. I haven't looked at them in a long time. Thanks for the suggestion!

I did see that they came out with this color in the puzzle that is taupe-ish.

What else do you have in your collection? How would these choices fit within your whole collection?

Of the three options you identified, I prefer the Puzzle bag.

I have a few Coach collabs (Pac-man and Star Wars), Kate Spade crossbody (plain basic black leather), and a Senreve Maestro. I had sold off quite a few of my bags that I had lost my love for so I have a pretty minimal collection today.
I have been using my Coach Star Wars tote as my everyday today but found that its too large for my everyday needs. I tend to be pretty minimalist on what I carry.. mostly just keys, a bi-fold wallet, hand sanitizer and phone. I find that when I have larger bags, I stuff them with receipts and everything just gets lost in the mess lol.

The speedy is a classic but the puzzle is less recognisable. I love that. And you mentioned slouchyness. The puzzle looks better slouched. That taupe color is gorgeous but the straps are a little off putting, but maybe I can get used to it. I wanted a bigger size to use as a travel bag and unfortunately we're not going anywhere soon anyway.

I suggest you look on YOu Tube at reviews of each one of these. It is nice to see the pros and cons. I love the Puzzle but would not buy one because according to the reviews getting into it is a pain. But I confess that my biggest dealbreaker is a too small opening.
