Hi!
A small or mini tan puzzle bag
Asking for my cousin ☺

What does she regularly carry in her handbags? I have both sizes and I consider the small to be more practical. I have to switch down from a mini pochette to a micro pochette when I use the Mini. Other than that I carry a small tube of hand lotion, a card holder, a small Bastia coin purse and my iPhone 11.

Sort of interested in this brand and love the look of this bag but is there a problem with that zipper on the back side snagging your clothing? Also, for the price the canvas lining looks a little cheap - does it hold up?

I went to my Loewe shop to try the new Puzzle Hobo some weeks ago. I was initially excited because I have never been completely satisfied with the Puzzle in my shoulder and I hope a lot from this variation. Here my views.

In the positive side, it was easier to open and manipulate stuff in and out. It is medium but it looks smaller than the original Puzzle and is flexible and light.

In the less positive aspects ( for me the design is my most important) the beauty and uniqueness from the Puzzle irregular parallelepiped architecture was not visible, just dissapear when it is transformed in hobo and it required a wide shoulder strap. It looks like another handbag model from Purificacion Garcia form maybe 10 years ago.
My personal conclusion is that if one person loves the unique Puzzle design, should go for the classic, this Hobo variation is not that as unique as the original Puzzle, I think.

Thank you very much for your detailed and substantive insight on this new bag from LOEWE. I've been so curious and slightly tempted, however, visiting a boutique isn't even a remote option. I was able to imagine the bag in an almost tactile sense from your point of view. You are appreciated!

I haven't purchased this new Hobo Puzzle nor have I seen it in person yet but I do own 3 small puzzles and a mini. So far I've had no problems with the bags I own. The lining appears to be the same cotton twill they use in the regular puzzles and I've never had a problem with the lining. I am hesitating on this new Hobo Puzzle because the bag looks really long and I'm only 5'1 so I'm more concerned about the dimensions.

100% agree with your opinion on the lining. While I appreciate leather-lined bags, I am almost as pleased when the interior is well done in other quality material such as what LOEWE uses in the Puzzle. I much prefer this over microfiber that some other houses use; I cannot abide that stuff.

Nice find! This bag was part of a limited edition line celebrating Chinese New Year in 2018. Here’s the Loewe Facebook post announcing it:

Thanks a million for identifying it and also the year. When I first saw it, I kept thinking that it must be both limited edition and also to celebrate a holiday. I like the colors in it and also the festive design. Plus, it was in mint condition....like new. Now to see if the bag charm might eventually pop up on a resale site. The bag will look great with some of my modern cheongsam dresses both store bought and custom made in Southeast Asia. I love my dresses as they fit in really well here in Los Angeles in the warm weather and are also really easy to wear. Smiles.

Thank you for posting!

Not living near a Loewe boutique I'm (almost) interested enough in the Puzzle Hobo to buy one online and see how it is in real life. I don't mind the look of the wide strap and the hardware free simplicity appeals, but I don't love the look of it and I do love my original Puzzles. Your conclusion that it's just not exceptional and unique (unlike the original) is well put.

I'm still considering it though and I'll probably always be wondering until I get to see one in real life and try it on.
