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!

I received both the tan and the light caramel puzzle bags. After looking at both in real life I have to say that I agree with pretty much everything you said. The light caramel is definitely more orangey-tan than the tan. Both are gorgeous colors, but like you, I prefer the smooth leather on the tan bag. The gold hardware blends in more with the bag, but both silver and gold hardware look great. I also preferred the embossed logo to the white painted logo, but it's not really a big deal since the branding is so minimal.

I'm keeping the tan! I love it and it's the first and only tan bag in my collection! I am uploading pics of both bags so anyone considering both colors can compare.

Thank you for your help!

The tan was also significantly cheaper. I bought through Saks when they had a promo of $50 off every $250 you spend. That combined with 10% cash back through ******/rakuten and a $50 saks gift card made the bag about the same cost as buying it in Europe. For anyone who loves this bag and does not want to buy preloved, I highly recommend waiting and watching for promos/gift card events from the department stores.

I got my first Loewe bag a couple of weeks ago. It's a black Puzzle in size Small and I have to say that the quality has blown me a way. In my opinion, it's better made and higher quality than my YSL, LV, Celine or Chanel bags. The leather is extraordinary, the stitching immaculate. I'm so impressed. Also thrilled with how much I can fit inside, and how lightweight it is for a leather bag. This purchase was practically a coin-toss between a Puzzle and a Chanel Boy and within a day of using the Puzzle, I'd completely lost interest in the Boy. It has to be my most practical, easy bag - the kind you toss around and never have to baby. If anyone is torn, I would really recommend it.
I really want a blue, burgundy or tan one now!

I’m thinking of getting the tan puzzle in the size small as an everyday bag. I was initially considering the Gucci soho disco for this purpose but came across this beautiful bag. I know many have attested to the carefree-ness of the soho disco (ie. carefree leather, crossbody carry, good capacity, light weight) but how about the small puzzle? I live in a rainy city and would also want to carry this on rainy days. Is the buffed (non-grained) calfskin easy to scratch?

Thank you for any insight!

So glad to hear this. I am going to Spain on holiday and might pick up a small black. You’ve not had trouble with the opening

I just carried mine all day on a snowy day and I just dried off the leather and it was fine.

I think the calfskin is easy to scratch but the scratches kind of dissolve into the leather. It is not like caviar leather which is indestructible, but for the softness of the leather it is quite good. I have been using mine daily for almost 2 months, it is so convenient, I take it on the train and everything. I do see a few small scratches so if you want it to be like "Pristine" it won't be! I am saying this cuz a lot of youtube reviews kept saying it is 100% scratch free and I was like what is going on! But,that is my experience! I love it!

Hi all, I previously bought a tan medium puzzle and returned it because I thought it didn't look good with my skin tone. I saw a red medium puzzle and it was such a beautiful color but I am almost 50, is red too much at this age?

Definitely not! It's more about your wardrobe colors being complementary. Age does not have a thing to do with it :tup:

Red is not too much if it goes with your wardrobe. You may want to consider stone blue also. It’s such a versatile color that can be worn year round.
