As for the bags, there were lots of variations on the ballon bag, XXL Hammocks, and the classic Flamenco was adorned with ceramics by Japanese artist Takuro Kuwata. I just love all the focus on craft. The puzzle made an appearance too.
I used to work for The Camellia Brand (hint hint no suing pls) and that bag should be pulled from Fashionphile.Would this sort of "damage" to a second-hand bag be a deal breaker for you? Fashionphile says it's an "employee or sale stamp"
It's been a long time since I worked for said brand, but these techniques are used at Target, Walmart, The Gap etc. It's either:
- A return which is faulty and needs to be send to head office and cannot be sold (usually recycled or used for troubleshooting reasons)
- A sign there was staff theft in the store so they needed to mark it as such (Camellia Brand slashes them in this and the above situation, so nice)
- A sample used for staff training so would be over-handled and have no serial number except for educational "this is where the serial number is" and everyone goes "ooh yes" and thus can do their jobs
Don't buy this bag unless it's $10 max. I'm shocked as Fashionphile is usually aware of these things :/
THE OG FLAMENCO. MY SA has already called and asked what I want, our stocks will be delayed alas due to being int he middle of the Corona Virus, but my list is still being curated XD
Thank you @doni for putting everything in one place!!
Thanks for the inside scoop, I had a feeling it was sketchy. They must be turning a blind eye to it.
Fortunately I didn't buy the bag (Loewe Barcelona in Raffia for $1000).
Green balloon and green-suede xxl hammock look great! hope they will release the green one in small as well. having the balloon on my radar now

Just discovered this black mini puzzle with white stitching
I already own the midnight blue/back one and i don't plan to get another "dark" color but this one is really tempting
I've only had mine a couple of months, but I've used it every day and it's immaculate. I actually *want* the slouchy dip in the middle though, so I've started putting less in it, as when it's full it's pretty square. If you like that squared structure on the topline, it's worth packing quite full or getting an organiser. Mine has lost zero shape or definition in the base.
It wouldn't put me off at all if it was inside the bag and the discount was substantial.Would this sort of "damage" to a second-hand bag be a deal breaker for you? Fashionphile says it's an "employee or sale stamp"
Went to Nordstrom today and saw the small balloon bucket bag in vintage khaki. Was it a cutie!! About the size of small puzzle. Beautiful colour and beautiful leather too. But I really was disappointed in the workmanship of the bag. I’m not sure if it has to do with the fact that the leather isn’t lined inside but the caramel tan colour piping is really unevenly done and this is especially obvious for the pipings around the base. I really was tempted until I saw that...
Does anybody own the puzzle in the medium and the small size?
I have a hard time deciding between the two sizes and I have heard so many pros and cons about each which totally confused me.
Before I saw it irl I thought that the medium is the one to go for because of the D-ring, the feet, the shoulder pad and the wider opening.
So a few weeks ago I ordered a medium tan puzzle but I was somewhat disappointed after it arrived. I love to wear my bags crossbody and it was kind of stiff and bulky wearing it this way. The strap annoyed me, the color was not what I expected (to me it is a somehow „muted tan„ if this makes sense?) and it just wasn’t the dream bag I had hoped for so I returned it.
Should I give it another try with the small size? I saw a one in the caramel color online. It has gold hardware (which I love!), the color looks warmer and the leather more slouchy (or am I wrong?).
If it only had the feet and the D-ring I would have ordered it already but I am thinking back and forth.
Should I give it a try? Or do you think I should forget about the puzzle?

I have the small puzzle in tan and I never regret buying it. I’m just 150cm so medium to me it’s too bulky and big anyway. However, the leather does soften up so eventually wearing it crossbody will feel a lot more comfortable.
The lack of d ring doesn’t bother me at all as I am not going to wear as a “backpack” anyway. I have been wearing my small puzzle for around half a year now and the base still look brand new.
Regarding the color and leather, I like the glossier finish on classic calf and so I got the tan. However, if you prefer grained leather, light caramel would definitely be a good choice. I like how understated with the embossed Loewe logo for grained leather puzzle bags!
Puzzle bag is something that I have craved for years (yes, since then they still have the d ring and thicker strap and feet) but only took the plunge last year. It has become my favorite go to bag because it’s so light and the leather is so soft. It’s just a bit sad that I stopped using luxury handbags because of coronavirus these days (it’s impossible for me to spray alcohol on it!)
