Yes Rexy is my favourite ! And it’s the best drawstring backpack I’ve found but from what I’ve seen can only be bought 2nd hand since it’s no longer in production.Ahhh love it! And I spy Rexy...
I was at Woodbury and the stock was awesome!! Lots of Hammocks, some Amazonas, Puzzles, animal bags and charms, Flamencos. They had ostrich and croc Flamencos. I tried on a croc Amazona that was gorgeous, and that adorable pastel Puzzle. I don't think the Puzzle is the bag for me. I'm very attached to the Amazona! I love it in all the sizes. I had to try on the 28 and 23 sizes, since I have the 36 and love it. One day I'll collect them all
Thanks for the photos. Very helpful. What did you think of the amazona 23? I’m about to pull the trigger but concerned that it might be too small? Crazy about the color but not sure about the size. I don’t mind mini bags without handles (camera, flap bags) but kinda hesitant when they’re small and have handles. I will have it shipped so I can’t try it on unfortunately.
Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!

I think it's a great size! Unfortunately I didn't try to put my stuff in it, since I didn't want to handle an exotic bag too much. I've actually never put my stuff in the 23! It is really deep though, which helps fit in more. I've never had to fill up my 36! What do you need to carry in your bag? And are you just concerned about capacity?
Hi there! Thanks for your reply. Actually, not really concerned about capacity since I’m used to downsizing on my days off. It’s really just about the look since it’s a mini bag with handles. I have tried the small puzzle in store. Seems like they’re similar in size? Ah, still torn if I should go for the amazona 23 I am in love with the color though.
I’ve used my Gate a few times already! It’s been super sunny in Vancouver! Not too sure what to do though when the rainy season hits. Planning on going to Loewe this weekend to ask about treatment and care! Will update you ASAP
Hello... To follow up.... Yesterday I called customer service at Loewe and the person who answered insisted that there was only one material. Today I visited Barney's and Saks for the mini puzzle. Guess what? Two leathers.
I got two tan mini puzzles, both in what is called "classic calf". One more textured, one a lot more smooth... None of the SAs knew what I was talking about until I showed them. Some websites online show the mini puzzle in the more smooth leather, some in the more textured leather, customer service told me she could see it too but that it was just the lighting difference. Nope! Here's pictures of them next to each other, the textured leather one is even slightly darker in color. I'm still "puzzled" (pun kind of intended)! Now trying to decide which one to keep, but probably the smooth leather one... For some reason, the worksmanship on the textured leather is more shoddy, the glazing is done messily in some areas and I can see the glue peeping out on the bottom...
Do you know if the regular classic calf used on the bigger puzzle bags looks more like the smoother leather or the textured leather?
Hi! The minis look lovely! I was also confused about the leather and posted something like this a page or two back. I think there are variations between the leather, but the actual grained ones would be more defined. Here is a picture of the two small puzzles that are the same item on paper, but look completely different in person.

Memorial Day mini haul with friends from WoodburyBtw you can see the difference between grained leather and classic calf on the gingham puzzle as it has both
What a great haul sonicxml! I want to get my hands on a Barcelona too!! What other goodies did you see at Woodbury?
Thank you
I think there were hammock bags in various sizes and colors/patterns as well as elephants, a couple of puzzles and Barcelona. There was a super cute small Barcelona in blue gingham at amazing price that I gravitated to, but I decided to pass since I had bad luck with light color bags
not sure how much stock they have right now after the Memorial Day promotion though.
Ooh, we went the same weekend, but you must've gone before me! I didn't see any of your amazing goodies at the store. Lovely picks, great haul! I still love the Barcelona.View attachment 4448705 Memorial Day mini haul with friends from Woodbury
Btw you can see the difference between grained leather and classic calf on the gingham puzzle as it has both
I posted a few pics from Woodbury a page or so back! Definitely check it out. You should also email them! They're so responsive over email and they'll send you catalogues of all their stock.
I didn't see that! Thank you for sharing!
I actually got a response from Loewe today. They are very responsive.
So there are two leathers. Both are called classic calfskin... But one is smooth classic calfskin and one is grained classic calfskin... Good to know.
