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.

Anton backpack - agree that it does not look good when it is full. It sticks out way too much when it is full especially when worn. This bag needs to drape and slouch to a look good. I do not really find this bag that heavy but I usually wear it on the shoulder and holding on the strap. I find that’s the best way it looks, more casual and sporty.

Anton sling - same here, I think the proportions are not the best.

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?

I like the Atlantic colour more than Stone Blue to be honest! I loooove my cool-toned blues haha. I'd say Stone Blue is a warm light blue, whereas Atlantic looks like an icy, almost lavender-y light blue. IMO a light blue bag is basically a neutral with how many colours it goes with! I wear mine with a navy blue coat, but it matches grey, black, camel, burgundy, lilac...the list goes on.

I know people miss the wider strap and feet but personally I prefer the look of the newer small Puzzle bags...less busy.

I'm feeling like the color Atlantic is somewhat close to Blueberry (which is the color of this Loewe charm I once had, inserting pic for reference). Next to it is the color stone blue

Hope this is somewhat helpful. I feel like you can't go wrong with either, personally I know stone blue serves me better bcs of my warm complexion (I think there's plenty of youtube vids explaining about how you determine which complexion you are and what shades of colors would suit you best, pretty interesting to check out)

And yeah totally agree with @totally that light blue is basically a neutral! Never have to think twice about what colors I'm wearing the stone blue always complements my outfit really well

I love this tote and am thinking about getting it! Do you have any thoughts on how you chose the small over the medium size tote? Am debating between that, and would love to hear how you decided on the small size!

Great question! I adore the bag even more than the much more popular puzzle! The grained leather is getting softer and dreamier over time.

Actually, recently considered purchasing the medium tote in tan classic calfskin as well. However, I compared the sizes (small and medium) on the Loewe site and found the medium at almost 7 inches deep was far too wide(as in bulk) for my taste. Here are size comparisons so you don't have to do the work I've already done. I was still tempted for a bit, but I don't use organizers, don't carry much and didn't want my few items essentially tossed around like a salad all the time.

Medium: 11.8H 12.8W 6.9D
Small: 9.8H 11.4W 5.5D

Replying about the Puzzle in Atlantic blue as useful. I have been in my Loewe shop yesterday searching for another model "Surplus leather woven basket" but I showed the puzzle in classic calfskin and flamenco in nappa calfskin both in that Atlantic blue and are beautiful, the nappa with the adorable super soft touch. Color and utility is something very personal but I can tell you my experience with that tone in two handbags from other brands. The first time I bought that color was not my first choice, I wanted one model and there were not another color. It was such a great surprise to observe how useful that color is for me. It is between light grey and baby blue and it matches nicely both with light jeans, or provides some light to a back coat or contract to a warm dark red coat, just some examples. After that experience, I search for years until I bought my Hermes Kelly in a tone as similar as possible to that one and there are very few years when Hermes has offered that one and I am very satisfy because it is very discrete, neutral and useful. Anyway, colors and utility is very personal.

I wondered if anyone has experience with the Surplus leather woven basket, the small one from this spring with mixture of colors and textures.
I wondered if the shoulder strap could feel too long as it is not adjustable and if you think that it is comfortable. Any opinion is appreciate because, this model is not available in the Loewe shop from my city so I would have to buy without seeing and I feel always uncertain of the feeling in the shoulder. Thanks.

Thank you for this very helpful analysis. I just wish the hardware were silver colored, rather than gold. I feel silver blends better with the blue/gray.

Well, I just went ahead and ordered the small puzzle in Atlantic blue from Neiman Marcus! I pulled up the listing on my desktop (rather than my phone) and I just LOVE the color! Yes, I wish the hardware were silver but I’m afraid that if I wait much longer, the color will sell out. Plus, I had a 15% off coupon, which helped!

I’ll report back when it arrives. Thanks to all who helped me make this decision. I love my medium tan puzzle; I think a small one will find a place in my rotation. The design of these bags just takes my breathe away.

I can’t wait to see your pictures of it. When I first spotted the new colorway last week I was immediately drawn to it because of how similar the color is to my steel blue one. Just like you, I do wish the hardware was palladium as it’s my preferred hardware tone.
