Hello everyone,

I need some people who know Loewe small puzzle bag for help. I recently bought one (their last one) from a department store online. I THINM this one was out of stock for a long time, but it showed up (just one bag) on the website one day. When I received it today, I notice it’s the old style (four feet and a wide strap), which I love so much. However, it’s more like grained leather instead of smooth calfskin. I worry it’s not authentic because I have heard the white logo on top of the bag represents “smooth calfskin” vs. the embossed (non-colored) logo represents “grained leather”. My bag looks more like a white logo with grained leather to me. It’s hard for me to find the old version online. For those who know about this bag, have you seen “my version” before? I just worry about buying a fake bag. I don’t just want to return it because I got it in a very good price. Thanks everyone!

Huuuh, Im pretty unsure If Its authentic...the stitches on the picture with the strap look a bit messy?!

I can't comment on authenticity of this bag but I can say mine is white logo, tan grained leather with the old style (with feet, wider straps). I bought my original smooth Puzzle from Loewe in Barcelona but the glazing started to crack immediately, so I returned it to Loewe and they sent me a new grained leather one.
 
Hey guys!!!

Soooooo I bought a Loewe Puzzle bag tan small with feet on eBay and got an odd feeling when it arrived that it wasn't real. I checked it against my other two bought from authorized retailers (MatchesFashion) and I thought I saw differences. The bag came with authenticity papers from Real Authentication. I told them my concerns and they had me send photos of what I got and they said it's legit. The thing is, the interior serial number tab is much longer and the font is different to my two Puzzle bags. Also the leather itself is thin and stiff, slightly card like. My two Puzzles bags that I already own have buttery soft wrinkly leather that's puffy almost. Another PFer here shared pics and it's the same - soft puffy like leather. I told RA and they wrote this:

"As for the tag, again its a difference in textile of Calfskin vs Lambskin and brand variance. Below you will find a comp of the same textile to your bag. We find zero issue with your bag and stand behind the original determination of Authentic. We hope this new information will help ease your concern and wear the bag with confidence"

They included this photo. The right side is the bag in question. I don't know what the one on the left it. I guess another bag they have?

What is the leather and tag like on your Puzzle bags?

Below is what my stone blue puzzle bag serial number tab looks like on the right. On the left is the tan one that RA authenticated and said is fine. Also if you note from the above comparison photo that RA sent to me, the serial numbers are identical. I thought all serial numbers were unique to puzzle bags (and all designer bags actually)?

I have also been eyeing a puzzle bag here and there and noticed a big difference in front of the serial number and made in Spain located on the inside tag. I compared for example at Fashionphine which is considered to be reliable.
what would you say dear tpfers who own puzzles.
