Hello everyone! Loving all the pics of your beautiful handbags. I’m new to Loewe. I just purchased the medium puzzle in the new tan and pink version. It’s a total beauty, but I’m torn between this bag and the traditional tan color. I have a million tan and brown bags which is why I gravitated to the subtle pink on the bag as something a little different. And I love pink. Despite this, I don’t have a ton of pink in my wardrobe, although I do wear a lot of neutrals. Also, the bottom is pink, and I’m a little worried about getting it completely dirty. Not sure what to do....return for the tan or keep. Any advice?

I say keep it as the bag is tan AND pink. You got your tan (which you are comfortable with) and a little bit of a pink to stand out. It looks super cute! And I would not worry about the bottom being pink as the bag has feet, so nothing should really touch it.
Hope this helps

I got my new Puzzle Small in Tan! I bought it from Neiman Marcus, they were able to apply the 15% new customer discount to it and I also used the cash back site (Rakuten) so at the end the price was not too bad.
I don't see any issue with the strap being too thin as to me its actually comfortable. And I also don't have any issues with the opening (only took the bag out once so maybe that will be an issue more I use it?).
The leather is so SOFT and the bag feels luxurious. Also the small size fits actually quite a lot as its so wide. Bag itself is very light (similar to balenciaga city).

Return for the tan. I think you’ll get more use out of it and in the long term you may grow tired of the two tone handbag. This would be the case for me. I love pink too but you’re better off buying a separate pink bag if that’s something you want to add to your collection. People buy multiple black bags....I don’t see anything wrong with owning multiple tan bags as long as you love and use them. Good luck!

Has anyone seen the light caramel puzzle bag and the tan puzzle bag side by side IRL? If yes,
Is there much of a color difference between both shades? Also, In your opinion does the gold hardware on the light caramel bag make the bag look more elegant?

yes, I have looked at these two bags for almost over a year until I splurged on a tan one. The two colors look very similar IRL but the light caramel is a bit more yellow or orangey than the tan. The tan is said to be like Hermes gold color. Both colors are simply stunning.

The gold hardware does make it more “elegant” or “formal”, but silver ones are just as nice. I personal like silver hardware as i find it hard to use gold hardware (I own a fendi mini peekaboo in black with gold hardware)

The biggest difference for me, however, is on the leather. I love the classic calf because it’s so smooth and buttery soft. The grained leather on light caramel is just as soft over time but you won’t have that almost lambskin feel to it. Also, the logo on grained leather is embossed but on classic calf is printed in white. Personally I prefer embossed...nothing can be perfect, right?

I have no doubts that I would buy light caramel if they come in classic calf and silver hardware...but now I love my tan puzzle to death!

Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it. I currently own the stone blue with shw but am pining for a tan puzzle. I actually ordered the tan one from Saks a few days ago and was thinking about ordering the light caramel from the Loewe website to compare. The light caramel looks so luxurious on my monitor, but I am hoping I love the tan more and find it more wearable, because I got it at a discount.

I love the smooth leather also!

My new addition to my bag collection... the classic Tan Puzzle Bag in size Medium.

Been looking at this bag ever since it came out, but I was always interested in the Extra Large size. A reason for that was most likely I was still at university, and I needed a big bag to lug around all of my stuff. However, times have changed and I don't need a bag so big all the time (I always have my trusty LV Speedy 40B, or my Keepall 50B for those days I need to carry everything and the kitchen sink).

Never really considered Loewe as an option, until I was at Changi Airport bored out of my mind and happened to stumble into the Loewe concession stand and was (re)looking at the Puzzles again, this time in the Large, Medium, and Small sizes. I wanted to carry the bag crossbody, and still carry all my essentials - and felt the Large was comparable to my Speedy, and that the Small without the thicker strap and no feet was a bit of a downside - but the Medium was perfect. I was initially looking at the classic black Puzzle, but felt that the true beauty of the bag would be hidden if it was black, so I opted for the tan.

Must say I love this bag, the quality of the leather is so sumptuous (and thick) and those zippers! People say LV zippers are buttery smooth, but they honestly pale in comparison to the zippers on the Puzzle, or any Loewe bag. However, I really dislike the long shoulder/crossbody strap in the sense that hardware doesn't swivel, and you have to be really wary when you put the bag on, otherwise you would be standing there trying to adjust/fix the strap!

Based on the size of this post (I don't really post that much around here anymore, more of a lurker nowadays) - I really like this bag!



Heres's a pic of my beloved Puzzle! Mind you it is never going to look this neat and put together ever again! Cannot wait to see the bag age and be even more slouchier!

Hi ladies,
I just bought a small Loewe puzzle on an Italian website the other day and I got my bag today. I do see the authentic paper and it’s all written in Spain. However I noticed that the inside of the bag only comes with the Loewe logo and it doesn’t have the tiny tag that says the code and the made in Spain sign. The bag also has only one slip pocket, which is under the Loewe logo. I believe the store wouldn’t sell replica items to its customer but I just want to make sure is it only mine bag or the others’ would also have the similar situation.

I just bought one in December and mine has only one slip pocket too! I did wonder about it. I bought mine from saks 5th Avenue so assume it is real!! Also the serial number is under the zip , kind of hard to see. Open the bag and look under the zip on the leather side , there is a number embossed.

By any chance are you referring to Italist.com?

Has anyone purchased Loewe from Italist.com?

Ran into a good selection of Loewe bags on sale via Gilt but note that they're final sale and low in stock. Discounts range from $100-600 off. There's a small and mini black Hammock, a black Barcelona, etc. I wish I wasn't on a No Buy cause these are so tempting.

Here's a link or use the search bar, you need an account to access it: https://www.gilt.com/boutique/15295...e8bde3ad&page=1&brand=Loewe&hideSoldOut=false
