Dare I even say I choose to use it over my Puzzles?!I fully agree! I have the same experiences like you! The best bag ever
Thank you!! Yes I plan to get a chain strap and a short black handle for the mini as well. That’s why I think I’m going for black though all the colors are soooo tempting!
I have a flamenco knot I bought in 2017 and the corners have worn a bit and there is some wrinkling of the leather on the side that goes under my arm. I think it’s normal wear and tear for a bag with such soft and somewhat delicate leather. I don’t throw it around the same way I do my puzzle. I’m hoping to purchase a mini soon.
Recently bought this medium flamenco in the new dusty blue shade! The leather is so supple, and the color is a nice sky blue with a hint of gray. I also like that it has palladium hardware instead of the GHW that flamencos typically have. I’m around 5’8-5’9 and it drops around my hip at the longest setting. Really excited to use this bag during the summer! 
I agree. It’s indestructible and only gets softer and smooshier with time. The leather also starts getting this patina and shine…absolutely gorgeous.
Alright, so I returned my Hobo Puzzle and just got notification that a new one is shipped to me/my local boutique They processed an exchange instead of a return, which I think is my fault.
Luckily, it’s been shipped to the Loewe boutique nearest me and I’m hoping I can exchange for a flamenco in store and pay the difference.
I’m really love the dusty blue but I always love the Rosemary color. I have a green Bulgari Serpenti bag so I’m telling myself I should get a bag in a color family I don’t already have.
I wouldn’t wear the dusty blue mini a lot but I plan on getting a medium one of the dark brown color for daily wear,
But idk, rosemary or dusty blue??

Get what you’ll use! Don’t get blue if you won’t use it. Unless you are ok with just rotating it sometimes. If you like green and want to have another alternative to the Bulgari, get rosemary. For me the blue is gorgeous…and the rosemary is pretty.haha!
Both colors are gorgeous!! The green Bulgari bag is a completely different color shade to Rosemary imo despite both of them being in the same family. I'd say, go with the original one you fell in love with first! Also, I think you should go with the mini bag color that you'd wear more (between the two colors)--if you'd wear the Rosemary more than the Dusty Blue, I'd go with that! As I age, I find that my favorite bags are always those that I can grab the easiest because they coordinate with my outfits more easily, etc. The thing I love about the Dusty Blue though, is that the glazing is tonal (not black) like the older Flamenco styles. My SA said that the Flamencos are going to start coming out with tonal glazing from now on, and moving away from the black glazing. Just something to think about if that matters to you!
Helppp! I found out that the back of my brand new Ash Grey mini Flamenco came with a weird white "spot" in the middle that won't come off after gently wiping/dabbing with a damp cloth. In fact, this white spot darkens when wet then dries white, and seems to be a permanent part of the leather. I got it in sale from Saks at 40% off, and I know that this will be near impossible to replace if I returned it since it's discontinued and out of stock. Would you keep this? I keep telling myself that the bag will pick up wear/tear over time anyway from being used, and that this spot really isn't that noticeable since it's in the back (not on the other side where the logo is stamped), but I have never settled for bags with defects before! What would you do--keep or return? I'd love to know your thoughts!

Thank you! I think I’ll go with the dusty blue because, and this may sound weird, the color legit made me feel happy :’)
That would drive me nuts. I would return it or contact Loewe.com customer service and ask them if it is something they can repair. As long as you have proof of purchase, if it is ”fixable” Loewe will do it.
If I had to pay full price for a bag, that would bother me and I would return it.
But with 40% reduction I would accept the little spot. It's really not noticeable in reality I think.
I personally would keep it for this price!!
Hi! Does anyone have any insight into using the mini flamenco as an everyday all-purpose bag? Is the leather too delicate?
I'm deciding between the mini flamenco and small puzzle (before they phase out the old design)...having a really hard time deciding between the two. Would love to own both, but not sure if it's financially sound for me hah!
I usually carry my iPhone Pro, a small cardholder, keys, a pack of mini wet wipes, and on occasion, a small waterbottle or a mini umbrella (I believe the small puzzle would fit both, would the mini flamenco fit both? is the strap strong enough to take the weight?).
Thank you in advance!
