Hello, everyone! I purchased a small Loewe Puzzle in black smooth calf from Bergdorf Goodman online and the bag came from Dallas NM warehouse. One thing that .. puzzles me is that is has ZERO leather smell. I don’t have Covid LOL. So nothing is wrong with my smelling senses! I even asked my husband and my friend - they both agreed there’s absolutely no leathery smell.

I tried a tan puzzle at the Saks once but smelling the bag didn’t come to mind LOL. Please tell me your puzzles don’t have any leather smell as well!

First of all, SUPER excited Loewe is an official thread now! I know it's old news at this point, but I've been MIA a while with work/family, so it was a pleasant surprise.

Well... I'd been eyeing the Balloon bag (small is on sale now at loewe.com), but came across a small Puzzle (that's right, only 1) today at my local Nordstrom Rack (of all places ) and was VERY surprised that I... didn't hate it?

When the OG Puzzle first came out, I HATED it - it seemed hard to get in-and-out of, and looked perpetually deconstructed (i.e. for casual looks only); the only Loewe bag I liked back then was the Amazona. I tried this small (in midnight blue) on today and it actually reminded me of a small version of my med Givenchy Pandora (which makes sense since they're both basically soft boxes).

Hemmed and hawed a little, but the price was too good to pass up (has dustbag and cards; maybe was a return?), so I snapped it up. Will post mod shots soon when I've got some time during daylight. Would love to know how the small pebbled Puzzle held up for those who already have it!

By the time I knew of Loewe, the old style small Puzzle with feet was done, but today I scored a preloved one off ebay. I am going to have to get the edging fixed at some point, but it’s usable once it arrives

It could be a display piece or returned item. I personally like my bag brand new and purchasing online has one of its disadvantages, one of them is this, we can't control on what we'll be getting nor we can't choose the bag ourselves. My mini gate has a divine leather smell.

Agreed on the gate bag. I had a small gate and it is entirely different and has that “raw” suede like back of the leather on the flap. Mine smelled of leather as well! Puzzle is constructed differently though. Do you have a puzzle bag? It was very brand new looking - no signs of handling. Just no leather scent.

My new small Puzzle smells quite strongly and beautifully of leather... maybe it's the finish? My Puzzle is pebbled leather; one of my Loewe drawstring Hammocks is the smooth finish, and also smells of leather but not as strongly.

Thank you! Yes, grained version is also not exactly what I have.
I’m seriously will be going into the store next week …. to smell smooth calfskin puzzle bags. Can’t believe I’m saying that! It’s probably is fine as the bag is fabulous. And I know for sure that Chanel 19 lambskin is treated to the point that there’s no leather smell as well. So, it’s not a new thing. Just need to make sure.

Hi, what color is your puzzle? Love it. Looks like “Tundra” color.

It is the Sand/Mink colorway, really perfect neutral taupe with tan strap and zipper pulls.

Check out Mercari, hundreds of counterfeit Loewe! Be wary you can’t buy an authentic Loewe for $200 to $300 or less! Most sellers are brand new to the site! Some sellers with balls are trying to sell counterfeits for big bucks. You’ll notice all of there pics are taken off internet! They are all trying to pass off the crap as the real thing! I emailed Mercari they don’t care!

I'm so jealous! It looks so good on you! How much did it end up being? (please further inspire my jealousy XD) I also see that Bottega Veneta bag you have

Ha - thank you! Yes, I'm definitely mostly an old BV, previous season Givenchy, Saint Laurent bag fan... but obviously moving into Loewe.

A little hesitant to share how ridiculous my luck was, but... I paid just slightly over $1,000. Including tax. I saw it locked on a rack with some other less expensive bags the second I walked in the store and made a bee-line; once I confirmed what it was, I flagged down a staff member to ask someone with keys to unlock it for me and I stood next to it guarding it from any possible looky-loos until it was in my hot little hands. (Shockingly no one seemed to notice/care.) Trust me, I checked it over again and again to make sure there wasn't damage or missing pieces... totally fine. It's also the newer style. I really do think it was a return or a floor model... I did see a small crease in the corner (you can see it in the pics), but after laying it on its back for a day, it smoothed out. I expect it to crease again and in other places anyways once I start really using it.

Hope that scratches your curiosity itch!
