Thanks for the response! I wound up buying the larger Flamenco Clutch in Warm Desert. Got it from Neiman Marcus and managed to get the 15% new customer discount. It’s a beautiful bag and very comfy to wear as a shoulder or cross body bag. No interior pockets so definitely need to get some pouches.

It is true that it has no pockets. But then, my old Flamenco (the 90s iteration) has I believe 4 pockets inside, and because of the shape of the bag, and how it folds and scrunches, the pockets end up getting together and you never know if you are putting something in a pocket or the body of the bag... It looks and feels messy, so I actually think it is smart that they make do without the pockets in this bag.
And what a good excuse to get some nice pouches
Hi guys! I'm new to this thread and I've been on the hunt for a small Loewe Puzzle after getting a beautiful medium indigo one! During my search I found a "forest" color that Neiman Marcus has here: https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/loew...0000_cat000730_cat48090736&page=0&position=16
I can't find any other mention of a forest color or a better picture of the color -- have you guys seen this elsewhere? Does anyone know what this looks like in natural light?
Thank you! I've really been enjoying reading over this thread!

Thanks so much! It ended up not working out with the Jomashop order
so it was returned.I did end up finding another deal (not as good as the one I thought I was getting) that is through Farfetch/Browns and purchased a current season gate with their new colorway and pebble grained calfskin for the gate -- I purchased it for $1400 including tax down from $2250, which I was happy about. The color is also a lot more practical for me for as I tend to dress with more neutral colors. https://www.loewe.com/usa/en/women/...X28-1100.html?cgid=w_fw20_collection_bags&p=6
I just received it today, though, and I'm a bit skeptical of it. I know that Farfetch is a reputable seller, but, when opening up, it felt like it was returned or some display item with some stains on the dustbag. There is also some wear by the interior stamp, and "O" in LOEWE looks a bit more narrow that what I've observed in other bags. There's also this minor QC issue that I found on the exterior near the bow. I was also surprised by how light this bag is; the soft leather of other Loewe bag I handed felt so luxurious! But this defintely feels more rugged, a bit plastic-y. Maybe this is just the how this grained leather is?
These are all very minor and part of me just wants to be happy with it and live on with my life, but even though I got a deal, it's still a lot of money, and it's my first designer bag (!), so not sure if I should just return it. Appreciate any advice you all have!!Here are some photos
The bag!!
A bit of the brown on top of the leather at the tip of this (lower tip)
The L is a bit washed out and not darken fully in the middle. For some reason, the O actually looks a but more narrow and less round compared to this photo I took, too.
Thank you, all! Stay safe
Farfetch is reputable but they are many shops (usually well known brick&mortar) under the umbrella, so I guess you never know 100%Thanks so much! It ended up not working out with the Jomashop order

But about the leather, this looks not grained but embossed? Loewe’s nappa feels very luxurious, but also their grained leather feels very good. Embossed leathers though are generally hard and feel plasticky. To me even Hermes’ Epsom feels that way...
If it doesn’t make your heart sing return! There will be other deals.
Some super great advice. Thanks so much! I've grown to love the bag over the past few days and wanted to keep it, but I just wanted to visit my local Loewe store to verify that it's all good in person. But, I just noticed today that the leather sealant on the edge is peeling a bit -- is this normal for a new Loewe bag? I wonder if it is more obvious because the bag is black and the sealant is a contrast color, but I'm just worried that it will get worse. If you guys think that it won't, I'd rather just keep it! I'm quite anxious about returning this bag, haha.
Here's a photo of what I am talking about (circled in red).
Actually both of my Loewe bags and my card holder have a similar glazing problem. Not particularly pleased with it but 1) I am too lazy to return or at least ask the store the fix it, 2) it doesn’t seem to worsen to a point that it cannot be used, 3) I just love the bags too much, so I just leave it as it is.
I do think it’s a rather common issue with Loewe bags and SLG, but if you are anxious about that, you may actually want to return it...its quality is good in terms of the leather and construction, just not the sealant! Since my Loewe bags are the ones I am planning to use (abuse), it doesn’t bother me as much...
Thanks so much, Chrissie! That's such a relief to know that this is a common issue. Just so I get an idea, how much has it worsened? Is it mild fraying as I pictured that seems to become more frequently seen throughout the bag, or does the entire sealant peel off?
The puzzle (which I have for around a year now) looks like it’s still holding up quite well. The “vertical” part of the sealant is still holding the sides well, it’s always the part where it should be laying flat on the “horizontal” part peels off.
However, I just checked my card holder and there are few serious injuries there. I don’t baby it though...
I’m sorry I tried to take a photo but it seems very unclear...so I give up lol
Thanks, Chrissie! Super helpful and such a relief. It's really great to become a part of the Loewe community here and adds a lot to the excitement of getting this new bag.
I also heard that Loewe provides great after sales customer service! Is this still the case for me? Even if I purchased my bag from Farfetch?
Hi, I'm new to loewe, but this bag caught my eye and was wondering if anyone has seen it in person, or any feedback on it, I sort of wish it had feet...

My beloved small tan Puzzle arrived today! She is such a beauty and I’m sooooooooooo in love.
There’s one thing I’m not totally sure about and it’s that the little loop on the strap that’s meant to hold the loose strap down seems quite loose and the loose end droops when I let the strap hang. Is this normal for you small Puzzle owners or is there something wrong with mine? I’ve tried moving the loop around to different positions but the loose strap seems to slip no matter what.

Hi, everyone!
I’m choosing between small and medium puzzle. And though I know that both bags can fit a lot, I can’t figure out weather any of them will fit an ipad 10’5 or larger.
l’ve watched tons of ”what is in my bag videos“, but none of them featured an ipad.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think it’s normal. Mine is pretty loose too but it doesn’t bother me.
Your bag looks gorgeous!
