Yeah the studs system can be quite a pain to adjust but luckily it’s not often that I need to adjust them. The only thing I don’t like about strap buckles is that the hole tends to show more wear and given this one is lamb skin I don’t know whether of such a buckle system would cause the strap to weather more quickly than the old system. The rotatable clasps are long LONG overdue though.

I’m getting a new small in a couple months but none of these colors are perfect for me so I might get an edge instead
If you search featherlight on the Loewe website the new puzzles come up as coming soon. I can only see the nappa ones no croc It looks like the measurements are the same as the other small puzzles. It's a bit lighter 0.5kg vs 0.52kg for the others. From the photos on here I was drawn to pecan or black but from the website photos dark butter appeals because the colour of the hardware and loewe stamp is very tonal. It's probably too light to be practical though. It's also currently showing as £3250 in the UK which is a bit less than I was expecting from the US price
Now I'm debating whether to order one if i can bring myself to spend that much on one thing and alow myself to actually use it. If so which one Or do I hold off for other colours just in case i like them more. I am curious how much the croc would be.
Seeing the lining and extra touches makes me see why it's more than the others and the change to the strap appeals to me. Also @despair describing it as like the P9 speedy but half the price is some bag math I can get behind.

OK so I just noticed a croc puzzle on the harrods website its not the featherlight version and it's nearly £20,000 so unless the featherlights are mock croc that's a definite no for me
My SA here in Hawaii told me that all the featherlight puzzles were in stock already and available for purchase! They said that the red one was already reserved and sold out but who knows if more stock will come since it’s still before the official release date. I really wanted either the grey or the burgundy that we saw from the runway but I guess those colors aren’t releasing anytime soon or maybe later? They also didn’t have the aquamarine at all. The Hawaii price was $3,990 which is better than the mainland $4,500 price. After seeing the colors I settled on the black one! They won’t let us actually pick up the bag until the official release date on the 20th but that’s not too far away now! I recently purchased the green large deerskin puzzle so this will be the second one haha and I feel a little crazy about that but I’m excited! Still wish they had that burgundy or grey though!
FYI the feather lights are now available for purchase in the website. I snagged the aquamarine since that color doesn’t exist in my handbag collection at all; I’m hoping the lighter lamb skin ages ok though 😬
This looks like the original puzzle, not the new slouchy ones?I have seen and fondled the new soft Puzzle, in burnt red, this one.View attachment 6130371
And I have pre-bought my first PuzzleIt’s a Small.
No “scraping my hand” zipper problem, the leather is deliciously soft (texture is like deerskin but thinner) and opening is wonderfully wide.
It may not be for every current Puzzle fan but it is for me!
I feel like it looks like the ones that have been posted here. I can't get over the price. $1000 more... is that worth it?
Oooohh, how are you liking the green deerskin Puzzle? I'm still considering one day going for the Puzzle or the large Flamenco Purse. I love the color and size so much. And deerskin is always such a treat.
I really love it! It is VERY slouchy when it’s empty and is super soft to the touch! I would say the actual color itself is a lot darker in person than how it appears on the website which I personally really like even more! First picture is how it naturally slouches when empty and second picture is with the tissue paper stuffing inside! I really love the suede interior and I think it looks great with the green!
Only thing I’ll say is that I think they changed up the size of the large puzzle in general? I remember that some people were saying that you could fit a 13 inch MacBook Pro in the large puzzle (with some fiddling still) but that it would fit, but with this one you definitely could not fit a laptop, but I’m sure with the soft leather you would not want to do that anyways haha. But just a thing to point out! Does fit an 11” iPad tho and much more! I think the overall width is like 3 inches smaller than what the old puzzle large was like? I could be wrong but something like that!
But yeah I’m very happy with it and the color! The oxblood was sold out before I could ever see it but apparently that one is like a burgundy but on the website pictures it just looked brown to me so it was never on my radar but I bet that one is super nice too, not sure if anyone has pictures of the oxblood puzzle?
All the deerskin puzzles tho seem to be almost gone! The oxblood is completely gone both online and instore and I think only the Honolulu store and one of the CA stores have the green one and I think it’s something similar for the black one, so hopefully if you are interested you can get one before they are completely gone!
Hawai’i price btw was pretty great! I got it for 3,750 which is a lot nicer than the 4,350 mainland price.

I am very interested in the durability because my other Puzzles wear like iron
