They're gorgeous in any colour, I'm glad you like this bag, too. I haven't given up on a pristine old red City yet, but until then a smaller red bag like the Puzzle would be a great addition.

I read Meg's review and the whole Loewe thread, luckily not one of the longest threads :lol: I think there are others who aren't bothered by the opening, but some, like Meg, are. I have to be honest that I find all my "finer" bags to be a bit of a pain to get in and out of, compared to my Envirosax:s and backpacks. For me it just goes with the carrying of designer bags, it's a bit uncomfortable but that's OK because they look so good :smile:

I had a look at the gorgeous black one as well, it's the first Loewe that caught my attention, but I already have a smaller black everyday bag in the Pouch so a red Puzzle would be a perfect complement. I love the darker red colour of this one but am not 100% sure about the pebbled leather? Their other red Puzzle (from 2015?) called Primary Red is a smooth calfskin but the red is much brighter. This one is still available new in Asia. Pebbled just feels more dressy to me, whereas the smoother leather doesn't. This bag will ABSOLUTELY have to go with jeans and sneakers or I can't wear it! :lol:

Here's the Primary Red (photo by tPF:er Amanda630, I hope she doesn't mind me posting it here :flowers: ):

do you think you can manage this complicated opening? with jeans i usually want something easy and hassle-free
while it looks cool on the photo, it might be "l'infant terrible" in real life :confused:

I don't think it's that bad of an opening? I think all my "fancier" bags are a bit of a pain to get in and out of compared to a backpack or similar. In the Loewe thread there were more posts that said the opening is fine than said it wasn't. I'm more doubtful of the pebbled calf leather for an everyday bag for me, I love the dark red colour but would prefer the smoother calfskin of the brighter red. Mainly I think I need to see the Puzzle irl again and compare. Have you tried it on or seen it up-close?

Hi, everyone! Would you please help me identify the color of this City? Someone offered this to me and I wanted to search online of when worn pics of bags with the same color in order to decide whether it is right for me or not haha

Btw, do you think the color is a staple? Or should i stick to black ones? I am looking for a bag, which I can use at least twice a week. :)

Thanks in advance!

FYI, Ardoise is well know for it's yellowing, and i can see that there are already some yellowing on the bag. If that doesn't bother you, go for it if you like the color ;)

Hi. Just wondering if I can get some advice/ideas. What is the best way to carry a City while grocery shopping etc? I refuse to put my bags in the yucky shopping cart (or really any surface that is slightly or possibly dirty, lol, yes me uptight). I find it not too comfortable to carry it in the crook of my arm while pushing the cart and grabbing stuff off shelf etc. Carrying on the shoulder with the short strap is slightly awkward for me. I try not to use my Cities on the days I have to do grocery shopping (or similar two-hand activities). Thanks in advance.
