Really! Inlove the puzzle and find it easy to wear. When I tried the flamenco it seemed kind of annoying to close with the strings? Do you use as clutch too?

It has a magnetic closure, so if it's not overstuffed, it closes. To dress it up, I have a gold chain strap. I also added a black handle on my white one. I like how I can hand carry it or wear it cross body that way. I love my Puzzles as well, I just find the Flamenco is perfect for travel. I took my black one to Europe and it was great all day cross body, and dressed up to go out at night. I carry a card case, phone, reading glasses, brush, small zip bag with lippy, compact, hair tie, perfume sample, bandaid. hth
I totally agree!
If I could have only one LOEWE bag, it would be the Mini Flamenco! It's my grab and go bag, and it's really a bag from day to night. I also have a golden donut chain for it for diners and evenings. I love it very much!
The Puzzle isn't very practical to go in and out for me (I have a small one). But it's a cute bag too! And now LOEWE produces only the Edge version, which I don't like at all. So I'm happy to have the small Puzzle in the original version, and maybe I will buy an other Puzzle in Mini also in the original version.
honestly, i think it's mostly FOMO that's making me get the small puzzle, but the mini flamenco is absolutely adorable.
No color transfer issues but I've only worn it a few times and those times were not with a dark denim. it is definitely much more blue (and much less grey) than the Celine bag you showed.
I take this back. I absolutely love the mini flamenco now and prefer it over the mini jodie! It is one of the most practical bags I’ve ever owned! I prefer the tonal glazing though. Sometimes you just have to see a bag in the right color to fall in love with it! And boy have I fallen!
honestly, I've been getting FOMO because of the puzzle, but after a few days of letting the feelings cool, I'm sadly not as in love with the puzzle. I do like the mini flamenco, though. Might end up getting that in the deep aubergine color.
The puzzle will always be available on the resale market. In fact, I’ve noticed that prices have been higher for preowned puzzles lately as resellers are likely hoping people panic buy. If you’re not in love with the puzzle, then just hold off on purchasing. People always get bored of bags and sell. I’ve done it many times with bags that I thought were forever pieces.
At the moment I’ve put away both my small puzzle and mini puzzle and have been alternating between a goyard St. Louis and my mini flamenco. I didn’t think I could love a Loewe bag more than the puzzle but here I am! I want another one! I love the suede interior..reminds me of the old Bottega bags. The leather is just as luxe as BV bags, but the mini flamenco offers more versatility in terms of how the bag can be carried. I‘m actually perplexed as to why the mini flamenco is priced lower than the mini puzzle. It’s a much more versatile and practical bag.
Hi all! Thinking of getting my first Loewe bag, specifically the mini flamenco and I just love the dusty blue! I’m worried about color transfer from denim. I like to have a bag I can use without worry. Those of you with lighter color flamencos- any issues? Appreciate any help!
I bought the angora (off white) and the black. One for spring/summer and one for fall/winter! Love them both!
I haven’t had any color transfer but my flamencos are fairly new. I plan on carrying it as a clutch or handheld if I’m wearing something that could transfer color such as dark denim. You could always spray it with Apple guard. The dusty blue is such a pretty color! I was tempted to get it also but I had to draw the line somewhere!
