Hi, wanted to ask for some opinions here -- I just purchased a small puzzle in Artichoke which I LOVE, but there is one issue with it. The top triangle piece on the front is not sewn all the way to the point of the triangle, so it sticks up a bit when the bag flexes. Does anyone have the same issue? Is this normal? Is it worth getting it exchanged? I'm worried about wear and tear at that spot and trying to decide what to do is stressing me out. Thanks for reading!

I just checked my small and medium puzzles (both are in soft grained leather and in seasonal colours). As you can see - they both have the triangle part stitched to the very end, hence, nothing sticks out when bags are opened.

Edit: both of my bags are a few years old now (soft grained leather puzzles used to have smooth shiny leather and contrast stitching on their zipper pulls, side tabs, handle and shoulder strap), so I don't know if that was also part of a design change.

thanks for your reply! i contacted my SA for an exchange. i definitely think the puzzle pieces on this bag need to be sewed down completely...

I’m biased towards Sand as well, as I gravitate toward anything in a taupe-y color. I would only suggest considering your collection as a whole, however big or small, and where this one would fit for you. I went with the small sand because it was my favorite color of everything available, but I realized there’s couple Celine bags I’d rather have in this color. The gold hardware makes it kind of dressy for me personally and the puzzle I want for more casual everyday wear. I also realized I would rather have sand in a mini so that I can also use it for dressier occasions and have the small in a more casual, edgier vibe. Just some things to consider from someone who is aiming to have only a few very intentional and functional bags. That being said, I saw the artichoke green in person and it is so lovely as well. It’s really hard to go wrong!

Same here! I usually gravitate to taupeyish colours which is probably why I am having such a hard time to decide hahaha. Thank you though for this message because it's helping focus more on the purpose and intention of the bag! Especially how it is functional for my life, what I want to use it for, and how it will suit my style! So thank you perribee33 :)

Just got my exchanged puzzle (context a few posts back) and she's perfect, but the little Loewe booklet I got in my first bag is missing from the new bag. For more experienced Loewe owners, have your bags always come with this booklet/authenticity cards? Saw some posts from a few years ago here saying their bags didn't come with authenticity cards but wasn't sure if that's still current. Thank you!

My puzzle is from one of the first years they were made, in 2016, and it came with a little Loewe booklet and authenticity card

Glad that was helpful! There’s bound to be some trial and error. I think sometimes you need to just try something out for yourself to get that extra perspective you need. Good luck on your decision:)

Hello everyone!
I have been eyeing small hammock for quite some time now and finally I am down to Sand (soft grain leather) and Avocado Green (classic calf). I am in need of some advice as I cannot choose one over the other (and unfortunately getting both is not an option :smile:). I find both colours very neutral that would work very well in my wardrobe; I don't really have a preference in leather (like both soft grained and classic calf) and I don’t have either colour in my handbag collection.
Avocado Green is a seasonal color whilst Sand is a permanent one with Loewe, however I don't think I will be purchasing more than one Hammock. I am really torn - since it will be my one and only Hammock bag (though never say never :giggle: ) , I don’t want to regret my choice of one over the other later on :panic:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated (I have attached pics for reference)

My vote is for the avocado green. It's such a lovely shade of khaki green and classic calf is my favorite Loewe leather.

If there's a store near by, you should try on both and see which color/leather you like better.
