I have not and probably will not be able to see it in person anytime soon (nothing is open where I live) but I LOVE it in photos!!!
I love LOVE the new Flamenco Clutch. The size is so much more manageable than the BV Pouch (which I own and really like). Plus it has a detachable strap! It is true that it milks on the Pouch popularity, but it does not feel like a copy as it is such a classic Loewe style (I have a Flamenco bag from the early 90s). Interior is suede. I may not be able to resist this...
I just recently received the mini puzzle in Tan and rose color
I got my preloved puzzle bag in the mail today and I have a question about the strap. I noticed that it only has two holes. One at the button and one on the thick shoulder piece. The buyer told me the bag is from 4 years ago, so I don't know if the older models only have two holes because the newer versions have multiple holes on the strap.

Please welcome on board, Cushion in Small with a fancy sanitizer hanger [emoji85]
Hello everyone! Happy to join Loewe lovers club
I’ve always been a LV girl, but recently I started looking for a more spacious bag, and came across Loewe Cushion in Small. I really love the practical but stylish design, and what I’ve read about the brand and craftsmanship is inspiring.
Question is should I go for all leather or leather plus canvas? Both should be delivered to me on May 11 to choose, but prior to looking at them in person I would highly appreciate your inputs. Both look great to me, canvas looks a bit more cozy.
How durable is Loewe canvas and leather? I want to use the bag as an everyday piece after the lockdown is over, carrying a cosmetic pouch, notebook, maybe 13” laptop sometimes. Would be great to use is across all seasons. Should either be more durable from your experience, and how heavy are Loewe leather bags?
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the Loewe Clubbb! So funny, my journey is completely opposite, starting from Loewe now we shop some LV =))))!
TLDR: LV's coated canvas is a monster on its own, but leather bags, Loewe will absolutely not lose in term of quality.
In term of durability, because LV Bags are treated canvas, they are sorta immortal. However, Loewe leather bags top-notch in quality (confidently, can be compared to Hermes). So similar to leather, it is susceptible to wear and tear and still needs some love. Also, it heavily depends on the type of leather as well, such as box-cut will just attract scratches. Canvas is similar and it is uncoated, so stains are difficult to get off (think coffee!!!!!).
Personally, I'd like their leather bags more because of price point and quality, you get extremely good value bags for a much better price than LV/Hermes (let's not talk about Chanel). My first luxury bag is a Loewe nappa calf skin messenger. I was always afraid it would get scratch... it turns out to be quite scratch resistant :3! Of course, they will always give you an attentive recommendation (for legal reasons), but I can tell you I'm 100000% a loyal fan.
They also offer in-store services for a goodie clean-up and maintenance. Every time I received my bag, they just become sooooooo soft and luxurious. My 4-year old messenger is still in great shape. Tho, the manager did recommend not putting tooooo many (heavy) things in the bag.
Hello! I’m new to the Loewe thread! I’ve always been a fan of Chanel and LV but recently hooked onto the puzzle bag! (A few years late I know!)
I was going to look for a preloved small puzzle bag in tan but it’s so hard to find in the preloved market so I was thinking to buy new.
However, I’ve heard that Loewe are going to have a price increase in June! Does anyone know if this is true?

yes, the resellers that I know told me that it seems they will have their price increase on June 8. If you really like the bag, just go for it! I was about to make the comparison of my small puzzle wear and tear after a year of abuse...
The conclusion is, get it now and you won’t regret it at all. I can hardly see any wear except the corner glazing of the flap! I didn’t baby the bag at all and I did use the bag VERY often. It’s a good everyday bag that just brings me joy every time I use it.
The upper photo is taken exactly a year ago. The lower one is how it looks today.

Oh so the rumours are true! I will need to really think it through!
Your puzzle looks amazing! Still looks on great condition! I love what you done with the strap and handle too! What size have you got? And would you rather have bought a different size? as for the leather are you happy with the smooth calf skin or would have rather gone for the grained? Thanks!
Mine is in the small size and it’s the only size that I would consider as I am very short (only 5 feet tall). Also, small size itself fits a ton already and I can even put my kindle inside!
For the leather, I struggled for a long time between the grained and the classic calf for a long time as I thought grained would be more scratch resistant. So I bought a tiny card holder from them and I realized even classic calf can hold up quite well. That’s why I just go for the classic calf in tan. Originally I considered the light caramel in grained but I guess I am more drawn to silver hardware for an everyday bag. And now I am thinking if I should add a hammock in smooth leather into my collection...I just can’t get enough of Loewe leather.
This is totally off topic but few days ago when I heard Celine is going to have a price increase, I thought about getting a black Celine nano in smooth leather. I asked for a friend opinion and asked if I should get a Celine bag, and her reply is...Loewe has better leather. That reply basically ended my conversation and my desire to get the nano. And every time when I thought about getting a new bag, my beloved puzzle would kindly remind me that “I can just serve the same purpose!” It basically destroys my desire to get a new bag for a year.

That’s really good info! Thanks!
I’ve always been a grained leather girl but the amount of praise I have heard about the calf leather is unbelievable. I think I need to try it out myself! Will definitely think this through before the price increase!! Thank you x

They just had a price increase! Considering Loewe wants to position themselves on par with the other luxury brands (in term of price), it makes sense. Tho, they are currently having a sale on their website
!For those who are still wondering if classic calf can last, this is how my card holder looks 1.5 year ago and as if for now.
There is some small fraying at the edges, the leather has soften a lot and a bit of stretched out because I do use it every single day. But I would say if you see any scratches, you can simply buff it out! The SA told me that because Loewe leather is not stretched as much as other fashion houses do, so it has retained its flexibility, thus can be “healed” from scratches more easily. Hope this comparison helps!
