The Loewe Puzzle

[Greentea]

How has the wear and tear on everyone's puzzle been? I just got a mini puzzle in the classic tan color/leather and wondering whether it will be fragile... the leather is suuuuuuper soft. Even with a new bag, I see some marks on it that are fine since they're small but make me scared about long-term wear. See example below. And fyi Neiman Marcus gave me $100 off for the wear which is why I'm OK overlooking it.

The bag will patina and scuffs that don't rub out will blend in. I have the black smooth and finding that to be true. It gets a nice sheen

Has anyone heard anything about a price increase? The medium puzzle tan is on FWRD for $3,150 USD right now but I'm not sure if that's a glitch. It was still $2,990 last night, which is thankfully when I ordered (5th times a charm? wish me luck).

IDK what FWRD is doing because they are all 2990 on the Loewe site. They recently increased all puzzles but I'm not sure of any more impending increases.

Oh when was the price increase? I’ve been looking at the prices since December and I don’t remember seeing an increase. What was it before?

All the puzzles went up a bit a few months ago. The mini used to be 1850 now it's 1950

whattt?? what's the source of this info? I feel like there hasn't been a lot of stock available recently, so it's unfortunate that they're planning a price increase at this time

Most brands increase prices twice a year. The next one should be soon.

When was the previous one?

The tan medium puzzle (smooth leather) I bought in October still costs the same 2.350€ today. I'm based in Europe, maybe there was none here recently.

Guys, I honestly feel like my relationship with the Puzzle bag is cursed. I originally bought a preloved one that turned out to be fake (thankfully I got my money back from Paypal), then I tried to place two orders on Neiman Marcus, both of which were canceled because the bag went on backorder with no estimated delivery date, then I placed an order on 24S for it but they sent me the large one instead of the medium.

At this point, do I even still want the bag?? It's been beyond annoying.

Updated to add: This was the listing from 24S that I ordered. There was a 20% off code last week that I used and worked on this bag. At first I was skeptical because the listing says large puzzle bag, but the dimensions were for the medium. I did a live chat to confirm which size and they confirmed it was the medium, and then today it arrived and it was large...

So sorry this happened to you. I would still try to find one. My mini is one of my favorite bags and holds a ton of stuff

Hi everyone! I just bought a new Puzzle bag with palladium hardware. I noticed that the hardware scratches and dents pretty easily. Just wanted to ask if this is expected? This is my first bag with palladium hardware. Thanks!

That’s terrible!
i mistreat mine by traveling with it
No dents or scratches

In the U.S. the price increase per my SA will be April 01, 2022.

Any word on what the new pricing will be?

I actually looked on the website a few hours ago and already see the price increase. The small puzzle bag I’ve been eyeing in tan has gone from 2650 to 2850, so that’s a 200 increase. I also could’ve sworn that the mini puzzles were around 1900 and they now start at 2100, so another 200 increase. Pretty sure the price went up too for the puzzle bumbag so I’m thinking the Puzzle line definitely saw a lot of the increases.

I guess my Loewe collection will stay at just 3 bags for now, HAHA.

The PI for APAC/Singapore is apparently in a couple of weeks and we were told the puzzle edge in large (which my partner was eyeing) would be going up by S$200 from $5,150.

The mini edge did not go up and neither did the nano
