Looks perfect on you! Is that charm Burberry? Too adorable but still edgy with the Puzzle. Love it!
Hey guys! I'm a huge Loewe fan and finally decided to join in when I saw how lovely you ladies are!! Loewe seems like a wonderful secret - I wish more people loved them, but am kind of happy they don't?I'm starting to obsess over the gate tote bag. I thought I would ask the pros in this forum.. Does anyone here have it and what are your thoughts on it? Does it work in formal office setting? Do you find it is heavy or light? Does it keep its shape? This model is going to be hard to find to try out where I am so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for being awesome as usual

Thanks so much for letting me know! I hope we're a couple of the lucky ones!
I asked my SA and they (as in Loewe) tend to keep things close to their chest regarding the ~process~ since they pulled out of China, but apparently, in your case, it's January 2018 and the last digits are the maker/person who QC'd the bag. Puzzles are the only ones with active serial numbers right now as they're the most copied I guess? My orange Puzzle (without the white monogram) is 061710 and my Fuschia Pink (with white monogram) is 011629. She also said sometimes the person code is first, depending on the workshop.Does anybody know how to read this date code on puzzle bag? I was just curious when it was made onPerhaps 2018?
TIA
Oh no I'm sorry to hear that! But thanks for giving us all the info. I'm gonna look when my bags were made nowI asked my SA and they (as in Loewe) tend to keep things close to their chest regarding the ~process~ since they pulled out of China, but apparently, in your case, it's January 2018 and the last digits are the maker/person who QC'd the bag.

Conversely, I accidentally ripped my serial number out while replying to you XD I'm a bloody klutz.

Oh no don't be shocked! Loewe don't make many of each bag (compared to other brands), so when it's bought by Bergdorf etc, they can't resell it back to Loewe. It's good news, usually you can ask if they have older styles at the back and find your dream bag. I bought the orange Puzzle in November in Hong Kong as we were chatting and I mentioned how hard it is to find full orange bags and she voila'd my beauty from their back room.Thank you so much for the info
I do know how to read other brands tc code but the Loewe lol I recently bought this bag from Bergdorf and pretty shocked that they sold me a year old bag![]()

Does it look like it will hold much? I found the Hammock too big but am concerned this might be to mini if that makes sense?Had to take a picture of these minis since they were so cute. Unfortunately didn't have time to try them on though...

There are Loewe "outlets" (one is in the next city over but I've never been) and a couple of online outlets too (not sure if we're allowed to mention their names here!) that are designated product by Loewe themselves. They're so tight about inventory control, which is good for us I guess! I was able to find my white whale bag through one of them.

I love the Heel! I think I'm going to have to pick one up, it looks nice for travel.Spring 2019 is available on the website; here's a quick rundown:
Here are the new bags…the Heel mini (although I've never seen any Heel bag in any size. Cool layout to the bag, hough!), a chair tote inspired by Mackintosh Argyle chairs, a simple Vertical Tote, and two sizes of messenger bags. More colors available on the website for some of these styles:

Updates to current styles…new Gate bucket bag and Gate pochette, plus a drawstring added to the Hammock, and I believe that the wider strap is new to the Barcelona:

And of course, the much discussed adorable new minis!
