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.
Oh, but how true the bolded section of your comment! I must experience some things *in my hands* before I can get them *out of my head*!

Please come back and share your thoughts after you’ve put eyes and hands to one.
 
That purple is gorgeous! Why are you hesitating?
I think firstly the colour and second the price. Size is fine for purpose - it's bigger than the Paula's Ibiza raffia cylinder pouch I use all the time.

If I was absolutely won over by the colour then the price would be fine, and if the price was several hundred dollars lower I'd probably keep it on the basis that occasional use was enough reason to err on the side of keeping it.

But (to my eye) the Bright Purple (orchid pink-purple) has a lot of grey in it and in dull light I actually find it a bit gloomy :lol:

So I have a feeling that it's likely to be one of those bags that I reach for and pack and then suddenly change my mind as I'm about to head out the door ... :rolleyes:

Still undecided though.

Well I do think purple is kind of hard to match n if it doesn’t pop, then,.... maybe another color? So many gorgeous ones to choose from if u like the style. I’m sure if u return this one, you’ll like something else better soon. ;)

I saw this on the website and was intrigued. Do you mind me asking how you plan on using this? That's what I couldn't figure out for me.


Last year, I bought an open top Loewe summer Rafa bag. I thought I’d use this as the drawstring pouch inside the bag. I used a drawstring organizer, which wasn’t great.

I’ll try it out and then decide if I keep it. This is not the first time I had an impulse Loewe purchase — I bought a preloved (but pristine) zipper pouch with a tooled Art Nouveau rose that I have yet to use, but I LOVE looking at it. B2B5C05A-E192-441D-90E2-1B7731D911CB.jpeg
 
I was asking about Surplus leather woven basket a few weeks ago.
I could not stop thinking about this bag, the color combination and the structure, and for the first time I decided to buy online without waiting for the model to arrive to my local shop. My local Loewe shop is not big and SA could not know if they would ever get it. I am very satisfy with this online process ( at least here in Europe). It has arrived in just a few days with a very safe home-delivering system, calling and confirming the exact day and time for delivering in only my hands.

Surplus is medium size for my standards, and I am happily surprised because I was a bit worry that it could be too big for the type of size that I like. It looks perfect for my at a first view.

Conclusions for online: very satisfactory. I still prefer to go a try in the shop but it is an advantage to feel open to go for the specific color and model that you want when it is not available in the local shop. Enjoy your weekend.
This is the exact bag and colorway that's been haunting me lately. Would you please consider posting more pictures and let us know how you like it after a week after purchase? It's something I'd have to buy online as well, so I'm trying to gather more info on this bag that isn't talked about much that I can find! Thanks so much!
 
I adore elephants and admire their intelligence and loyalty. So I started with the yellow elephant years ago and it was immediate love; she was my literal everyday bag for over a year. The perfect pop of happy whimsy here in the snowy mountains where I live. She began showing her wear quite a bit (recently refurbished and looking like new) and the next winter I got the shearling bunny and now she has been my “most days” winter bag for about four years. Last winter I came across the large grey elephant and had to bring her home. Her leather is dreamy and she is so cute. Not the most practical (as you can see I usually use little bags) but so fun to carry when I do and always great to gaze upon Then, last summer I found the woven elephant, proceeds from which save the elephants!!! And I have loved wearing her all the time, so light, easy and fun and carefree and makes people smile. And while I am back to my little bunny most days here in the snow, I am headed somewhere tropical and came across the perfect tote last week. My SA was able to send this floral love quickly across the country in time to make my holiday dreams come true ✨✨✨✨9BA6447A-58AA-4BF6-BF37-764CDA74BFC7.jpeg

I love the XL elephant bag and am thinking of ordering the new one in Apple Green. What are your thoughts on the usability? Does it lose its shape when you carry the bag? Does it protrude out a lot when you sling it as a crossbody, or do you use it mostly as a hand carried bag?

Any other inputs would also be appreciated!

Usually I hand carry it; it is a bit bulky to be Crossbody, fine if you need your hands, but I think super adorable hand carried. And, as for usability, despite the size it does not hold quite as much as you would think. This is because there is a lot of material in there to help it hold its shape and structure really well. There’s about enough room for me to put one of my smaller bags inside of it and have it nestled in comfortably without being restricted and maybe a couple other items like a sunglass case or water or something. That green is gorgeous

I was hoping that it would be able to hold a reasonable amount of things, maybe the same capacity as a medium puzzle, but sounds like it holds less than that. Thanks for the input!

I do think that it probably has the same capacity as the medium puzzle, just less capacity than its size would make you think. The small elephants and rabbit hold a surprising amount but both are less structured than this piece.
