I have it but in the mini size, so for me it is a casual day crossbody and, as a clutch, an evening bag. I also have the old Flamenco.
I think the standard size Flamenco Clutch could work very well as an everyday bag. It is extremely versatile. If you like buttery soft bags, it is just the thing. As a clutch, even with the strap removed it’d be much more comfortable that the BV Pouch (which I also own but considering letting go) because you can hold it by the knots too. It doesn’t feel as luxurious as the BV though.
I am not in the US, but I have used the Loewe website in Europe and it works very smoothly.
I will start with the qualifier that I am NOT an expert on Loewe puzzle bags, but I own an authentic medium puzzle bag and I compared your photos to my bag.
In your 4th photo of the underside of the strap, the stitching looks sloppy and the Loewe stud doesn’t look centered.
In the 5th photo of the strap clip, the letters on my authentic bag look much more crisp.
Your authentication code looks like it’s a tab. On my puzzle bag, the authentication code is not on a separate tag but is imprinted on the inside leather portion of the lining, under the piece that lays below the flap.
The tag on my “Loewe, Made in Spain“ has stitches only on the two sides (East and west). Your photo shows the stitching on all 4 sides.
Again, I’m not an expert and perhaps tags and stitching, etc. have evolved over the years with the bag. If you live near a department store that carries Loewe (Saks, Neiman Marcus) you might want to take a peek at their inventory to see how it measures up. Also, I remember seeing a YouTube from a woman who replaced her stone blue puzzle knockoff with an authentic one that she bought on sale at Saks and she described some of the differences, which might be helpful to you.
Good luck.

I gave this Loewe to my
Mom for her birthday on Friday. The woman who never wants anything “cuz I don’t need anything“ was actually petting the bag while cooing about how soft the leather is. She told the family around her to feel it. Since she is recovering from brain cancer and has had a really rough time of it, it made me so happy to see her that excited/entranced with her gift.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Now I feel so relieved knowing that it was probably caused by the hand stitchings on the thicker side of the leather. Loewe Puzzle is such a beautiful bag.

Best wishes for her full recovery.
Thank you. She will be ok, but it’s a longer and tougher road than we were lead to expect. We take it day by day.What a lovely thing to do for your mom

I’m loving the look of this bag too! May I ask how you’re finding it? Would you have any thoughts on it vs. Evelyne TPM? TIA!
Mine is the mini size so not really comparable to the Evelyne (which I don’t own). I did not get the standard size because I have the BV Pouch.I’m loving the look of this bag too! May I ask how you’re finding it? Would you have any thoughts on it vs. Evelyne TPM? TIA!
The mini is a very easy crossbody that I take with me to go for walks mostly. I love that it has minimal hardware so it is easy to combine.
As a pouch I love it to go out. You can carry it as a clutch or by the knots. the strap also just about fits the wrist so you can also carry it hands free. Very handy.
I kind of like the new ones with the tassel. If the burgundy had a more interesting tassel I would be quite tempted....
