Hi Everyone! I am a TPF OG but new to Loewe. I recently bought the small tan puzzle bag and am debating if I should keep it or not. I’ve read all the posts about the different leather types but mine seems to have both classic and grained leather. Is this a thing? The sides are smooth and the front and back are grained. Here are some pics. It was the last one left at SSence, and priced at $1800. With their 20% off recently it came to $1544 after tax. I really prefer the smooth leather but is it worth another $1000?

Only the top flap of yours looks a bit more textured than I prefer. I own two small puzzles—- the tan and the stone blue and both look similar to yours. I would keep it. At that price it is a steal! I thought I did well when I went through Rakuten.com and bought it from Saks during a gift card event for about 1900 usd, equivalent to the European price. You should definitely keep it. The tan puzzle is my most used bag! Congrats!!!

It’s perfectly normal. I got mine from the Loewe shop and mine has a side with slightly more grained leather. I was a bit sad at first for not noticing it when I bought it, but I now love my bag too much and love its individuality!

[edit] it’s actually different from the normal “grained leather” like in the sand/ mink or light caramel color. The one we are having are just having a bit more textured to the leather.

So glad to hear that you love your bag! If they had any more would try to exchange it but this was the last one with this model number. I see what you’re saying that the graining is not as much as on a mink or caramel bag. Maybe they just used two batches of leather on this bag.

Thanks! I almost pulled the trigger on the Saks deal that you got too but waited too long. $1900 is a great price too...FP is selling a preloved one for more than that. I think I’ll keep it. The leather is going to soften up with use anyway I don’t think it’s worth spending $400-$800 more for an all smooth leather bag.

If you had to decide between the caramel color in grained leather with gold hardware and the tan smooth with silver which one would you prefer and why?

And does anybody know why the grained leather version is pricier than the smooth?

If anyone wants a pink or red small puzzle bags, or some camel or black hammock bags, they're 40% off on Nordstrom right now. I think one seasonal mini gate as well but I can't remember the colour now.

Still out of my budget, but seems like a good deal for those who are wanting to take the jump! Maybe one day I will own a Puzzle or Gate :)

I prefer the tone of the tan color over the caramel. I also prefer the smooth leather because it looks more luxurious IMO so for that reason I’d go with the tan with silver HW. I mix my metals so gold or silver doesn’t really matter to me.

Yes, it is the tan. I also love the color!

I am so undecided because I tend to wear GHW most of the time...

I like the lighter colored one against your dark clothing and yellow shoes. It stands out more, and seems more "youthful and vibrant", while the darker one is also lovely, but gives me a more conservative vibe.

After reading your comment I looked at the pictures again and totally agree. The tan looks a bit „dull“ in comparison.
