Hi, long time lurker here! I just got a Loewe puzzle , marine, in small from Saks, and long story short, the first one has a lot of scratches and a mark in the logo, so I ordered a second one. I have both of them here, but they seem rather different to me. Firstly, the logo seems different. The second one seems a lot thinner. Secondly, the serial tags are different. There’s a ‘c’ stamped on it, and it’s a single piece of leather. Whereas the first one is double. I’ll post a picture so you know what I mean. And lastly, the handle feels so different as well. The first one is a thicker leather, and feels stiff when I try to lift it. The second is soft and I’d dare say, flimsy.
Now, I’m trying to decide which one to keep! The second one is pristine, but the thinner logo, single leather serial code, and the handle is bothering me. The first one has scratches, but feels more authentic?? Please take a look for this confused first time Loewe buyer!
