Hey Loewe lovers! I was wondering if anyone owns a Puzzle in midnight blue/black? Is it easy to style? Is it not too blue in real life? I am in need of a black bag, and so was considering getting this one as an alternative to plain black.
We don't have a boutique where I am, so my only option is to order online. There are also not so many youtube videos featuring this colour.
I'd be also super grateful if you could post photos, if there are any. Many thanks in advance!

Hi Thea,
I don’t own the midnight/black combo but I did see it in store and tried it on. I was in the same boat trying to decide between this combo and plain black.
I think in pictures & videos, it does pass as black. However, I do see the navy in real life - it’s a very dark navy. My friend said under the store’s direct light, she saw a purple tint. I ultimately went with the plain black because I feel like the smooth leather gave it a nice “shine.” Versus the grained leather of the midnight made the color look a bit dull to me. Although the contrast stitching on the midnight & the gold combo were very nice.
I’ve attached some modshots of when I went to the store. Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures of the 2 colors side-by-side but hopefully it’ll help.

Black:
(This is a picture of the bag charms but I think it captures the shine of the leather & color very well.)
Thank you!
I just received my preloved small sand/mink puzzle from Brandear so I will get an organizer once I send to legit grails. I used legit grails recently for a bottega bag, I realized it was fake while they authenticated it...so I’m a bit nervous now from that experience! They were very nice and gave me a credit to use their service again so I will use it for the puzzle.
Everything on this puzzle looks good to me except the gold logo on the strap appears a bit crooked...I checked many pics online and it seems straps are not completely identical since it is handmade. The gold logo on the Loewe and Net a Porter sites are crooked too. I know we don’t have the official authentication thread anymore so I will search for other third party authentication.
Oh wow, my experience with LegitGrails was the opposite at least for Loewe...they seemed to prefer ruling a bag to be fake if even 1 feature is off/unclear in photos.
yes I’ve only heard great things! The fake bottega seemed really good, I caught it because I checked the authenticate bottega thread and there was a fake bag posted there a little while ago with the same serial number! One of the Authenticators there said that this serial number has been used on a lot of fakes. I shared that with the legit grails team so they are aware in the future.
Out and about with not-from-current-season-but-new-to-me small puzzle bag in Stone blue!

I love Stone Blue and have been keeping an eye open for a pre-loved small one, because I want the feet and D ring, not to mention the color. What I really need to do is confirm that I would be happy with the small size, but whenever I walk into Saks (the only store near me that carries Loewe), they don’t have any small puzzles on the floor. I have a much-loved medium in tan and just want to be sure that I won’t find the opening of the small too cumbersome.
Anyway, wear your new-to-you gorgeous bag in good health and thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I had a large puzzle bag that I eventually let go, so I totally understand your concern about the opening! To me, it's not too bothersome but yeah, fitting a normal size book would requires tilting it a bit to get in (Gone are the days when I could just throw everything I need, heck, a 13 inch macbook air, to the large size)
That being said, I absolutely love the lightweight factor of the small size. I did worry once about missing the feet, but from a design standpoint, it is a cleaner look with the thin strap (which quite important to me). Also, the thin strap doesn't fall off my shoulder! (which was the case for me with the large puzzle, especially lugging it around over a thick coat during winter)
Lastly, I thought finding a mint condition in the older design (in stone blue) might be tougher since it's been around longer, which something that frustrates me more because I want the color so bad, but I do understand having feet would make using the bag a little more at ease. Nevertheless, with all those factors in, I decided to bit the bullet with the newer design and glad to report it's been an absolute bliss using it! Hope it helps
