I also agonised for months over size. In the end I went for small because the bottom line is that I wear my bags crossbody most often, and the medium doesn't look good crossbody on most people (I might get a medium in tan in the future, for travel, but I couldn't have a hand held design as my everyday bag). I'm glad I went for the small because you can fit so much inside - way more than any other bag in the small category - and it looks just right. I don't really care about the feet (there's zero scuffing or damage to the bottom of my bag), but I guess if I could choose, I'd have the medium strap on the small bag, but I never really think about it - the thinner strap certainly doesn't dig or feel uncomfortable, and it looks smart in the evening. I do wonder if they might bring the wider strap back at some point in the future, because I think it's lots of people's preference. Or maybe sell it separately, like Louis Vuitton do.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I decided to try and just ordered the small puzzle in caramel with 20% discount. If it doesn’t work for me I can return it so there is no risk.
Same as you I had an eye on this bag since it was released. In the past few months I also took a look at the preloved market. But realizing how many fakes are out there let me stay away from buying.
I will post pictures after the puzzle has arrived.
Glad you are feeling the same!
I found one on Ebay a few weeks ago, here is the listing
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.de/ulk/itm/254512542201
I was suspicious because of the plastic piece on the tag you can see on one picture (it was a metal piece on the raffia bag I bought at Matchesfashion and also on the puzzle I bought and returned) and asked the seller for more photos.
There I noticed differences in quality of the dust bag (the inner seams looked completely off, I have a LOEWE dustbag to compare) and also realised that the angle of the leather piece on the back zipper was mirrored. Furthermore the bag had the new stamping on the inner flap bit the 6 and the 9 looked different than on the clearly authentic one I had in front of me.
Seller had no receipt and claimed the bag was a gift... I reported this to Ebay but nothing happened. The bag was sold last week...

I just want to say I am so pleased with Loewe customer service! I had a quick question about my Mini Puzzle shipment; they answered right away; they were detailed, helpful and warm. Honestly Hermès could take a lesson from Loewe.
Please share pics of your new Mini when you can
And maybe a mod if you don't mind? I'm thinking of picking up the mini peacock one.
Absolutely! As soon as there is daylight. Even my DH who is all Hermès all the time likes this bag.Please share pics of your new Mini when you can
I know it’s a very random change of topic. What do you think about hammock zipped and the drawstring version? Which one do you prefer?
I am thinking about getting a hammock but quite undecided if I should buy a hammock. I already have a small puzzle but I feel like hammock is more versatile in terms of what I can fit into the bag.

Here’s the black/taupe mini puzzle. Apologies for stay at home jeans and turtleneck! For reference I’m 5’2”/157 cm and about 97 lbs/44 kg.Please share pics of your new Mini when you can
I have NO idea why it is called black/taupe (it's called that in Spanish too) - it is black and white with a little bit of brown that does not look taupe-y at all. What I like is that it works with EVERYTHING. But I think the peacock version is very special.
I would happily own lots of these

Is the strap adjustable or is it fixed like the mini Lindy?
Off topic, but love your wood floors

Every time I want to not wear all black, I see a pic like yours and am reminded of how good it looks with accessories in any colorway or shape, but esp with this mini cutie.
It's a fixed strap. The length happens to be perfect to me, might not work crossbody on a very tall person. The bag is so light!Oh that looks so cute on you QuelleFromage!!

Thanks about the floors, they are reclaimed from a barn! 10 inch pine planks.
I'm not tall so not a problem for me. 5'1" on a good day
Oh nice, barn floors. The color is lovely too.
This is the mini I'm considering. I'm not usually into floral or busy patterned bags, but I love the colors.
