It kind of looks like the sand/mink in reverse (i.e., the handle is the lighter sand instead of mink, and the body is mink instead of sand)
Can someone please give me advice on the tan Puzzle relating to hardware and leather type ?
I'm looking at the medium size with either gold tone or palladium hardware. Am I right in thinking that the palladium HW 'classic calf' leather is smooth https://www.loewe.com/int/en/women/bags/puzzle/puzzle-bag-in-classic-calfskin/322.30.S20-2530.html and the gold HW is grained calf https://www.matchesfashion.com/au/products/Loewe-Puzzle-leather-cross-body-bag-1386702
And is the leather in the tan Puzzle just a matter of personal preference or does it look better in one or the other and same with hardware? Is the grained leather more matte and is it tougher??? Apologies for the basic questions - I'm buying online and I'm not familiar with the grained calf.
My small water green Puzzle is smooth calf (with gold HW) so I'm familiar with that leather type, just wondering if the tan colour is preferable overall in a particular leather/ hardware combo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The silver hardware comes in both smooth and grained. I think the gold hardware is only for the grained. I have the medium grained leather with silver hardware ordered from 24S. In the medium size, the grained leather will soften and slouch much more than the smooth leather. I personally think the SHW + tan makes the gold of the tan pop much better, but it does come down to personal preference. I think all but two of my bags are in GHW and for some reason, I liked this with SHW better than GHW
Extremely cute but the nano sizes... what would fit in that balloon, a couple of coins?
I love the colors they have chosen, a bunch of minis would have made more sense to me.
What a beautiful color combo! Looks like their mink with sand handle and trim. One of the preview photos is the opposite; sand with mink trim.
Went to check out the newly opened Loewe store at South Coast Plaza over the weekend and asked if they had any Totoro items... was expecting a no since they just opened two weeks ago, but the SA pulled this out from the back and I couldn’t say no especially with it being in my size.
Wasn’t expecting to buy two clothing items from this collab, but the embroidered Totoro on the hoodie is just too cute.

I keep wistfully looking at the heel bag (not totoro ones though, as much as I'd love one the resell markup is so insane) but I didn't realise my phone wouldn't fit! This has made me rethink it.... I really thought I'd be able to juuust squeeze it in lol but my phone is the same dimensions as yours, roughly
I have a black medium puzzle with gold hardware but it was a special edition from a few years ago. It is a mix of leathers and suede.
Awesome, thank you!!
From my research I’d wrongly concluded that the medium tan with SHW was only available in the smooth leather - which is acceptable - but my preference is for grained leather and definitely SHW, not gold.
I’m usually a fan of SHW more often than gold, with the exception of tan colour bags which seem to suit GHW, but the tan Puzzle with SHW is outstanding, a classic IMO.
So now I know what I’m looking for - thanks again for your help
There's a Loewe store at SCP? I'm in trouble
Yep! Just opened - took over the old space where Celine was. About time CA got our own store!
Wow! How lucky.
I kind of regret not getting a tee or hoodie, I did not even realized on the first day it was embroidery.
Just saw this new bag on the Loewe website and quite like the simple design. But I want to ask if Loewe’s canvas quality is any good? Thanks!
