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!

I used to own the red Gucci soho but I sold it. Even though it’s a practical bag, I didn’t like how ubiquitous it is in my area and how it loses shape over time. I love love love the small puzzle! It is not common in the real world, lightweight and luxurious and has a top handle. I have a varied collection of bags and my stone blue puzzle has been my most used bag since I bought it about 6 months ago. I don’t baby this bag at all. My baby has chewed on the strap and scratched the bag, but it still looks great. It has very light scratches which are barely noticeable and probably will disappear if I apply some leather conditioner...I just haven’t gotten around to doing that yet. I just purchased another puzzle in tan a couple weeks ago.

I cannot express how much I love this bag as an understated and casual everyday bag. Hope this helps!

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

The opening is a minor con in my opinion. I don’t carry a lot...phone, keys, lip balm, wallet and my wallet is compact. I can see how it would be annoying if you have a full size wallet .

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! I keep looking at red for a splash of colour in winter but it doesn’t work with my wardrobe. I carry lots of bright pink in the summer though. If you love it and it works for your wardrobe you should not even consider age as a factor. It’s a great bag.

Thank you! I never carry a full size wallet. The only things I'm in and out of my bag a lot for are phone and sunnies

Any color you love is the color to buy! The red is stunning

I only own small-ish black bags so I really need an everyday black purse (small puzzle on my list) but I SAW THE LIGHT BLUE on youtube and it's stunning.
But I also love the chic simplicity of the black and I am much more of a neutrals gal.
But the blue. ugh

Exactly the opposite, in my opinion. I read advice not too long ago that as we age, we should wear more color, not less, and I think that is right. I’ve thought about it when I people watch, and have to say that overall, I think older women generally look confident, strong, and fantastic in bold colors. Just my two cents. I recently bought an orange Loewe mini Lazo and will post pics soon. I adore the color and the bag, and I wouldn’t have carried it as confidently when I was younger.

Thank you, this is super helpful. I think as I ponder more on this bag (vs the soho), I keep coming back to the puzzle. I have a couple of top handle + shoulder strap bags and I’m finding the top handle super handy when I quickly grabbing to pick up my bag. It also just looks so chic I feel carrying it this way. Although I don’t see too many soho bags where I live (it’s most LVs and Chanel’s here), I feel the soho is a “younger” looking bag. I think that’s why I haven’t pulled the trigger on that bag. The puzzle seems under the radar and practical. Now I just can’t seem to decide the color and the leather. I love the slouchy look so I’m thinking I want the grained leather since it looks more soft, but I also love the tan in the smooth. Decisions decisions.... which size tan did you get if you don’t mind me asking?

What....no way! In fact I think it’s so alluring when I see anyone, regardless of age carrying a red bag. I think everyone should own a red bag and I feel it’s the most neutral bright color if that makes sense. I have seen the Loewe puzzle bag in the red and think it’s a beautiful shade of red. I say go for it and have fun planning cute outfits with it!

I own a loewe mini puzzle in tan and I absolutely adore this bag. Actually I got this bag by mistake as I ordered the small size ..its a long story but its still a happy ending [emoji4]

I can’t decide!!! Black or Stone Blue small

I just bought a small black puzzle a week ago and sold my black Gucci Disco to put the money towards the puzzle because I don’t think I need both bags. No need to have money just sitting on the shelf. I had the Disco for 3-4 years and took great care of it so it still looked new, but the small Puzzle is bigger and has the wonderful top handle. Having the top handle for a quick grab makes a big difference imo. I also have complete faith that my puzzle bag will still look new in a few years.

Yes I don’t think the puzzle compares well to rhe disco. The puzzle compares more to a lv speedy or Givenchy Antigone or Fendi by the way

I can’t decide!!! Black or Stone Blue small

Think about whether you’d regret it if you didn’t get the blue. You can’t always find another bag in the same color and shade but you will most likely be able to find another black bag which you like.
On the other hand if you would be kicking yourself if you got the blue after the initial novelty wore off then the black would be a safe choice.
Also consider the rest of your collection. If you already have a few black bags then adding a fun color might add variety.

what do you think between puzzle and postal bag??

practically and iconic

I have a few of each design, so I guess I'll pop my head in! Puzzle is more practical, and will be the brand's iconic bag for a while. The Postal is preferable aesthetically to me, I love the design and how classic it is. My grandkids if I were going to have any will be able to wear the Postal! The small is tiny, be aware, so functionality is low if you carry a lot. The standard size isn't much larger but I do use them a lot more than any of my bags recently bar my work bags as they go with a lot and are great for when you're on the run.
