Now I'm in love with the new Puzzle Hobo. Have to go try it on.
I have the warm desert mink puzzle. I love this colorway. It is beautiful for Fall and Winter but works well in the Spring and Summer too! I usually prefer monochromatic bags, but I couldn’t resist this one.....the neutral colors beautifully complement one another. I love it more than I loved the tan puzzle and I catch people looking at it all of the time. Most probably don’t know what brand it is but it looks so luxe!
I don’t baby my bags at all and haven’t had any issues after about 6 months frequent use, but I may spray the bottom with leather protector just in case. Thanks for drawing my attention to this potential issue!
The right colour tan is an excellent choice for all seasons, but all the more so with this very contemporary shape. In fact the puzzle is ageless.
I'm looking at a Celine right now and although it has pressed suede, the point is the colour which is really similar to the one you refer to in the ultra desirable Loewe.
It really lifts a dark outfit. Who needs more black or more navy? Most of us already have more than enough of those in our wardrobes, time to let it sing! IMO.
I couldn’t agree more on all your points and I think I love prefer the warm desert over the tan because it complements my skin tone more than the tan...but I still love the tan whenever I have a sighting IRL! I also have the Celine nano belt and though I love the design and suede interior, if I had to choose between the two bags hands down I’d choose the puzzle. In fact if I had to narrow my collection of fifteen luxury bags down to two bags, it would be the puzzle and the Chanel reissue size 225. I love reissue as much but use the puzzle more. It is such a comfortable, carefree and effortless bag!
No worries. It's really good to know that you haven't had any issues after such frequent use. I slightly regret not buying the bag last year now because it is so beautiful - in the shop I kept staring at it and taking a ton of pictures! Often in the past I've not bought bags that I've really liked because they were in a very light colour, yet when I see other ladies carrying light coloured bags they look fine. Like azure5 says: how many more black or navy bags do we need, especially when from a distance they are indistinguishable from each other. Next time I see a cream or light coloured bag that I like I will buy it and throw caution to the wind! I've always liked the sand/mink small puzzle as it's a very versatile neutral, but again have steered clear due to its lightness but I may take another look at it now (the latest version is all sand, they've removed the mink trimmings which of course makes the colour of the bag even lighter).
Oh my goodness - is this the Anton backpack? How are you liking it?! So hard to find reviews on it.
I’m curious about thoughts on the new Loewe color Atlantic. I was considering buying the small Puzzle in this shade, but the hardware is gold and I’d much prefer it in silver. I wish I had purchased an old style (with feet and wider strap) small puzzle in stone blue and am wondering if Atlantic is as close as I can get (and obviously without feet, which is a big loss IMHO). Do you think Atlantic is a relatively useful/neutral shade?
Yes it is! I love it. It is named ‘small’ but it is fairly large (and note this is not the ‘sling’ version which is much smaller). Even though it is large, I try not to put too much in it since it looks best when it is slouchy and not sticking out. I get a lot of compliments from it because it is low key but looks very luxurious and sculptural but also quite sporty with the single strap. It’s just a great bag and yes I found 0 reviews/commentary on the internet when deciding to get it but so glad I did.
We have both the Anton sling (the very small one) and the Anton backpack. The backpack has lovely buttery leather but gets extremely heavy if you try to fully load it - and with the single strap carry it can press quite heavily on your chest and shoulder. It also looks quite different (in a bad way) if packed full and really looks best half full with the slouch of the flap. The closest cousin to this Anton backpack will be the Isar from Cote et Ciel (which we used to have as well) but two straps vs one makes a lot of difference in terms of load distribution. It's also a challenging bag to store - we ended up having to essentially store it half folded or it takes up too much space - so far no additional crease lines though.
Wouldn't recommend the Anton sling - the conical nature of the bag means it actually can't hold much despite looking like it could, and is a bit fiddly to use. Its proportions also can look weird on some body frames.
