My small Mint Puzzle with gold HW is about two years old and the metal still looks fine. I don’t use it constantly though.

It doesn’t feel or look bulky to me when I wear it but that’s one of those very subjective things. I’m 5’4” and I generally don’t like bulky bags at all. Obviously it does have a boxy shape. Wherever you’re buying from make sure returning is easy just in case.

Both bags you’re considering are gorgeous neutrals but if you want to change shoulder straps with other Loewe straps you might have more options with platinum hardware - that’s been my experience anyway.

Thank you for telling me your experience :) It's nice to know that the gold doesn't tarnish/fade easily. Initially I thought about using it as an everyday bag but with the pandemic I don't really get to leave my house much haha

The advice regarding the silver hardware is very helpful and I find that silver seems more modern.

Thank you again :)

Hi! This is my first post on the Loewe page and I was hoping I can get your opinion :) I've been considering getting the Loewe Puzzle bag in a neutral shade for some time now and I'm stuck between these 2 colors. These 2 are just so lovely! I am curious though, does the gold tarnish/fade over time? Did some of you find the size small bulky? I'm 4'11 and I've never tried it in person and due to the pandemic I'm just planning on purchasing it online. Let me know what you think and thank you for your help :) View attachment 4787556View attachment 4787557

I thought the mini would be too tiny on me, but it's actually not since I'm taller than u. Just tried one mini, small and med in person today.

It actually may be perfect for you, but do consider if u will need to carry more than necessities, eg keys, small wallet or card case, travel hand sanitizer and phone...

It's like me trying the medium and it's like a messenger bag on me since the rectangular shape sticks one when new, but I'm sure will mush down after u use it more. So if u was looking for a bigger bag, it'd be big on me, but worn crossbody it's fine. I also like the wider straps on it too.

Sharing my experience with Loewe bags. If u go back to this thread, you'll see the QC issue posts I had with their shoes. Well now, I can add bags to it. I ordered the bag below from Saks and its beautiful in person, until you look at the stitches where the handle meets the bucket. You can tell the unevenness and one was slanted like half of a V and the other side was more vertical. The stock pic below shows one of the stitches area from the angle taken.

I think you have to be careful to inspect their bags that are not their top sellers, like the puzzle. Seasonal ones could be hand made by less experienced associates.

Thanks for sharing, doni. Could you please share some modeling pics. It’s good to know that the material is hard as I was worried that if the bag is too soft and with that wide opening, things would fall out easily once one of the straps is pulled down from the shoulder. I have the classic medium basket in tan...so considering if I should go for this or the Shigra basket.
I forget to take mod shots but I have this one of my daughter (ar 170 cm). The bag looks perhaps bigger than it is because of the perspective, but you can see it does not collapse on itself, it is quite rigid.

Hi thank you for your response :) I might consider getting a mini instead. If only they would come out with a mini in a sand/mink or beige shade. Thanks again!
 
I have been lusting after the basket bag for a couple of years and finally decided to purchase. I ordered the newest model with the orange label, but then the brown became available again briefly so I snagged it. I actually might like the orange better (Pros:Seems newer, fresher, a bit edgier...cons: isn’t sold out (‍♀️), might not be AS classic or versatile, possible lower resale value) but am having the toughest time deciding! Any help is very much appreciated!

I like the second one. The slightly different shades makes it look more luxe. I also think it’s A bit darker than the first so less chance for color transfer.

My Puzzle arrived today!! I’d originally ordered the Gunmetal color but realized afterwards that it’s actually pearlized leather (slightly metallic) and so ordered the classic tan thinking I didn’t want a metallic bag. But now that the Gunmetal has arrived, it’s actually a lot less metallic and more beautiful than I expected!

Now I don’t know which color to keep! Help! I want a classic neutral for all seasons and don’t have a bag in either color. Which do you think is more versatile? Durable? The pearlized Gunmetal is also grained leather while the classic tan is smooth leather.

Wow they are both beautiful, but I personally like the tone of the brown, and see it being much more of a classic to get years and years out of! <3 Can't really go wrong though, both look great!
