Thank you! Good idea to get both and see! I am glad to hear that the opening is not an issue. I think the medium would be too big for me--and I would probably put more in it too! Which would make it heavy!

I have (and love) my medium puzzle bag, but I’m 5’8” tall, so it fits me well. The medium also has metal feet and a wider strap which the more recent small puzzles lack. KarenBritChick on YouTube does a good side by side comparison between the medium and small puzzle. I’ve seen the mini but I also feel it would really be too small (and it doesn’t have the back zip pocket, which I love). It is a good idea to try them on if you can. Frankly, you can’t go wrong with any Loewe!

There is not much info out there on this brand and I am very new to it. Wonder why it is not more popular. I have been looking at the small and mini puzzle bag in tan. I saw someone with the tan small puzzle and thought it looked great! I'm trying to compare the mini to the small--and I'm concerned about the opening. I've read that it can be annoying for some. Kinda hard now to just stop by a store to look at it.

I sold my small for medium because the opening was a pain for me to use, I felt you have to put effort into opening the bag to get things in and out. The medium is so easy to use, and I also like how the medium slouches, I don't think you get too much slouch with the small size. For reference, I am about 5'2" and it doesn't look big on me even when wearing crossbody. I really think the opening is a personal thing, some are ok and some find it annoying.

I am born in Bilbo, North of Spain, a city with a huge Loewe shop that were closed a few years ago. I love the Loewe Amazona handbag since I could remember, it is the best handbag that attracted my attention as young kid. But then when I started collecting handbag it was not in my priority list. It was there, I thought, I could always go and buy one. It was like something accessible and therefore I put my focus on the difficult ones, the Kelly, and others.
The covid time has made my think about it and considering that there are a few pieces of the history of the handbags that are not going to be there for ever. The new releases of new model, new colors is just a question of paid for them and arrived in time but if the brand decided to stop the manufacture is over.

Therefore I put Amazona in my priority list and I have been looking a new Amazona 28 cm in the classic golden suede and dark brown (similar to the original design released in the 70s that was 36 cm) for months. I love that model so much that was a bit desperate to get a new one in Loewe shop or Loewe on line. However, they only offer now 28cm in a few solid colors that I do not feel resemble the spirit of the original Amazona design. The original model with 36 cm is still in the homepage but as unavailable. I have been called to Loewe in Paris and Madrid several times during the last 4-5 months to figure out if they will make it again, but they could not offer any positive answer so I gave up this week. Instead I decided to buy a puzzle just to calm my anxiety for the Amazona. It was a kind on second choice but I was in peace with my decision at the end. I went to the shop and they did not have a medium puzzle in new tan and pink that it was the only in my wish list. My first lucky event arrived just in a few days and they called me and reserved for me that version of puzzle. I went this afternoon to picked up the puzzle. I just turned my body several degrees to pay when I saw in a side shelf that they actually they had one Amazona, my wish one. It seems that it has a just-arrived today, a classic suede Amazona 28 cm that was my dream. It was a explosion of happiness after I have already accepted that I would only find it in the pre-loved market.

Therefore I finally bought my dream Loewe Amazona today and I went home to celebrate that sometimes serendipity is the only factor that could make it happen. I am a very rational and pragmatic person and I have explored all the available options and there was not any rational sign to support any longer my wait for it. However, it arrived one and I was just there in the moment and I turned and I saw it, and we could go home together. I share with you my happiness as you are the community that could understand it. I add also my pictures ( outside view and inside view, because this handbag is one of those few that are still adorable from the inside view and touch too).

Wonderful bag. I so totally understand. That is my mum’s Amazona although hers is completely battered, so just kept for sentimental reasons at our family home in Pamplona

I’m also a fan of the slouch. I think the small bag would pack up too tightly (at least for me).

I have a medium one, and when I wear it crossbody I find it annoying to open the zip while holding the flap up anyway, but when I finally manage it, I find that even a big continental wallet is not an issue. I think because the bag is soft, it is easier than say, Lady Dior, which is truly annoying to get into. When I tried small on, I was definitely thinking that I would switch to a compact wallet.

Hello everyone! Here is my latest Loewe purchase, I’m absolutely in love. This is the medium size hammock and it’s perfect. Thanks for letting me share.

Guys, this is such an awesome bag. Have been using it non-stop and the leather just softens, it’s amazing. Issue is, I want another colour now!

Hello Loewe folks! I am a huge fan girl.. have a grained small puzzle, small gate in smooth leather and now have added a smooth medium puzzle in black, and a cushion tote (pictured)..

I’ve got a couple of q’s if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Will the leather on the medium puzzle soften? I purchased it second hand and it just feels a bit stiff and dry so want to make sure it’s not just going to stay stiff.

Any feedback on the cushion tote? Size medium I believe, I love it but want to know how it wears? Do you get much use out of it? Absolutely no reviews online! I got the all leather.

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...

For those who have a Flamenco. The leather is soft so I'm worried how it will hold up years from now. Any feedback or photos?

I have my mother’s Flamenco from the early 90s. It is light blue and green (photos are here somewhere). It has got quite a bit of use over the years and it looks absolutely perfect.

I cannot say for the modern Flamenco. I have the mini clutch but have not worn it anymore. The leather is not as soft as in the vintage Flamenco, but only time will tell.

Jumping in the Loewe bandwagon here. Just bought the medium puzzle in tan today. I'm a male about 5'11" but I find the large one for men looks too bulky for my liking so I opted for the medium size. I love how light weight it is (compared to my YSL SDJ tote which weights a ton, although just as lovely). I like the cute metal feet although I find it quiet amusing because the middle bottom of the bag still touch the floor anyway haha, but they're cute nonetheless.

Been eyeing the Puzzle bag since 2017 but never purchased it because of the price tag. Only feeling the regret when Loewe increases their price every year after.

Finally decided that enough is enough. Enough of 2020 and all the **** I've put up with this year. Hopped onto Mytheresa and purchased the Puzzle Bag in Small, Smooth Tan leather.
VAT free as I live in non-EU country. After the import taxes, I saved approximately USD420 compared to buying it in the local boutique.

This brown is such a perfect shade on a bag. I love it so much already! It's my new favourite bag.
