I don't find the small Puzzle opening that bad SGCW! Maybe it depends on your hand size and also the size of your wallet and other items? The bigger being harder to pull out? I've downsized my wallet to a MP and an Hermes credit carder holder and a coin purse.

Thank you, dear Atb. I prefer smaller wallets so I'm sure it'll fit fine. I'd only use it when I don't need to carry a lot with me.

But I just watched a comparison video between the new small Puzzles and the earlier version with feet, better shoulder strap etc and I just can't understand why Loewe would change it. Especially now that they have the mini Puzzle as well, which works well without these details as it's tiny. I think you have the original version small Puzzles?

I also don't understand why they didn't keep the wider strap and feet on the bottom for their small size. I have 2 small Puzzles with the wide strap and one small with the regular strap. I personally prefer the wider strap (because the thin strap keeps slipping off my shoulder) and like you, I don't understand why they ditched it especially since prices are creeping up

All, I'm considering a medium Puzzle in black, but in researching the bag, the tan and stone blue colors seem to always pop up, while the black rarely does. Do you think the beautiful design is lost, or significantly less evident, in black? I've seen a few photos where the bag looks really striking in black, but its very hard to tell how it would be in real life. I have an olive wool coat and was thinking that the black would look awesome with it in the fall and winter, but is this a bag that just looks better in lighter colors? I get that some bags do and, if that's the case for the Puzzle, c'est la vie. Honest opinions please.

Lizzy Hadfield used to carry a black puzzle and she admitted that other colors would do the design more justice. But another Instagrammer has a small dark blue one, like deep indigo, and it’s gorgeous and really shows off the design.

Thank you! I just checked the Samorga site. I wonder how the organiser would fit in a small Puzzle, if the pockets are so tiny you can't really fit anything in them, like a phone or a medium wallet, like the Chanel XL flap cardholder? I guess I could custom order to adjust the pockets, like I did with some of the others I ordered.

Is the small Puzzle opening really that bad?!

I imagine the small pockets are great for storing bits and bobs so that the big items could go in the middle. At least that how I intend to use mine so I don’t have to dig for the small stuff anymore. I think it would be nice in a small, as it’s still a very roomy bag.

Will you get one? I also regret that they changed the design of the small one. It was so perfect with feet and the wide strap.

I think the opening is basically personal preference. I personally don’t like bags where you have to peer in to see what’s inside and I also wear big rings and bracelets that I don’t want scratched up by the zipper.

I don't know. I was going to buy a red but changed my mind. I'd love one in Varsity Blue but Loewe doesn't seem to ever make them in small. Only in mini:

Blue is such a good color. It’s my neutral color.

Is this darker than Loewe’s stone blue?

Yes, it's in between the lighter and the marine blue. I even saw them in medium at Italist last year (?) but it was strange as Loewe didn't sell medium Varsity Blue:s on their own website and seemed to be unaware about the ones sold by Italist. IIRC, I think finally they acknowledged the bags were authentic after some back and forth e-mailing. Maybe they were one-offs to test the market? Italist sometimes sells unique Balenciaga:s that can't be found anywhere else.

ETA: I forgot to say that the Mini in Varsity Blue seems to be sold out on their EU website.

I purchase the hammock several years ago then suddenly I became obsessed with Loewe again. Can’t wait to wear the bunny bag when the weather is a bit cooler.

Anyone love the discontinued Avenue bag? 5 colours including a Red was on 30% discount at the local Loewe store.

Yes, the Avenue is one of my faves and one I am constantly scouring the web for as I only have one! The embossed print is back on small SLGs so I snapped some of them up recently. Edit to add I do wish the strap was longer, but no biggie.

Thank you Hun!! Will take note if it! in my hindsight It’s a bit of a smarter move to get a different size yeah?

I have the stone blue in small and am thinking of getting the tan in small as well. I say stick with the size you like most unless you need more space for your stuff. The small is lightweight. And looks great worn as a crossbody. I find the medium a bit heavy and bulky to wear as a crossbody. Maybe that’s just me.

Yes... IMO I think the puzzle bag looks better in lighter colors. Have you considered the tan? It would go well with an olive wool coat and you can easily wear tan all year round.

Hi guys - can a Macbook fit in the large Hammock bag when wide open? I’m considering getting one.

 

[midniteluna]

It’s so gorgeous! I have a thing for orange color too! *high five*

Meaning they no longer have a leather tab inside the bag? There’s no indication of any sort inside the bag though...so am a bit confused. Ohh you will do that for me? I will truly appreciate any info you are able to share with me I will share mod shot when I carry the gorgeous puzzle

Hi, did you manage to find out about the codes from your SA? Sorry I've been MIA. I read through the forum and someone mentioned it imprinted on the leather? I searched my bag and actually found the code!

Owe you a mod shot! Couldn't get a mod shot but here it is..absolutely in love with it!
