Looking to purchase my first Loewe - preferably the Puzzle in the small size - but was reading about how Loewe removed key original features on the small size like the D-ring, feet and wide generous shoulder strap, in order to cut costs while increasing the price! Could old stock of the small still be available in stores which don't move stock as fast, or would I have to turn to the preloved market?

I really don’t think the absence of those is to cut cost, but because it will suit the smaller style better. I have the small puzzle after the revamp and I have to say I still like it to bits! I had my eye on the puzzle since it was released, while the d ring may sound very mind blowing, I don’t think I will use it as a crossbody anyway.
it’s a pity that it doesn’t have feet, but my corners and bottom are still very much intact anyway.

it seems that they are not selling the old models anymore, even in the outlets, so you may want to check out the preloved market. But I think Loewe did something about the structure of the bag as the older models seem to lose its shape rather quickly while mine looks perfect after a year of abuse. Their leather is still impeccable but I think they stopped using Nappa on puzzle.
And regarding the strap, I do like the older thicker strap but I always like using my fendi strap...I dislike how Loewe straps buckle are not “turnable”...

Hi all! Looking to purchase a canvas balloon bag but conflicted over whether I should get the small or the medium! I'm pretty petite (5'4") and I really don't like how 'low' some larger bags sit on me. Any advice?

I'm leaning towards the small size, but only if I can find one that has the top handle (I think the newer releases all do..). xoxo!

Hi, all. I just joined the Loewe club, by purchasing a small gate bag in Rust :smile: It will come tomorrow! It's also the first designer handbag I've ever purchased. I purchased it from Jomashop for $900 (still available for purchase on their website!), which is such a steal from current retail $2500! Really excited!

Hi how did you find your new bag? Also looked at the site and wow so many bags at a steal! I am worried though that it might be too good to be true?

I am not very optimistic about this considering Moynat doesn’t have their own sub forum. I have decided to get at least a card holder and a strap from the totoro collaboration. I am tempted to get the yellow mini puzzle but it could be hard to style with...

We did a while ago and @Vlad said he’d look into it.

Recently, regulars in the Moynat thread were offered a premium designer forum together with Delvaux, but they said they preferred not to.
At that point I reminded Vlad of the proposal for a Loewe forum but got no response.
(In my opinion, Loewe has both more heritage and more fashion creed than Moynat)

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 have had mine, also leather and M size, for a year and a half and it has worn really well. It fits a ton and is very confortable. I got it a period where I would fly every week to go to class, so I would take it in the plane and fill it with papers and books, and then bang it around town. I also used it for work. Obviously, that ended sometime around March, but until then, it really got a beating and did not show it at all, so very happy with the performance.

My only issue with it is that originally I had wanted the caramel/tan color but I didn’t like the contrast of the black pipping (that is an issue I have with some current Loewe bags, too much black pipping...), so I got it in black which is very functional but a little bit dull. I love the color of yours.

It ended up being a listing error and I ended up with the gate belt bag, which I returned. The belt bag appeared to be completely authentic though. Jomashop seems to be a reputable seller, so I would feel comfortable purchasing from there (if it’s the right item).

Have any of you seen the Totoro x Loewe collaboration? It’s so whimsical! I love the balloon bag!

The changes were made in 2018 so I'm not sure you'll be able to find the older models in store anymore. I have both the older and newer small Puzzle and I like them both equally. I like the comfort of the thick strap but prefer the look of the thin strap. I never use the D-ring on the older model. My personal preference is without feet - I like bigger bags that I would set on the floor to have feet, but on smaller bags I'm worried the feet will scratch tables/other surfaces!

I feel like Loewe might have changed the leather? The leather on my 2016 small puzzle is ever so slightly thicker but seems to lose shape quickly, while my 2020 puzzle has maintained its shape despite me never babying it. Both leathers are amazing quality + gorgeous colours!

I will say one thing that I've noticed is that the glazing is not as good on the newer puzzle. The older puzzle I have is pre-loved and has gone through at least 2 previous owners but the glazing is immaculate. The newer puzzle has a tiny bit of flaking (peeling?) glazing in a few places. Not noticeable unless you inspect it closely but a little annoying considering how expensive it is!
