Is this the bag? I've been eyeing Puzzle for a while and something about this colorway makes the bag so extra special!
This is on my radar too. And I was wondering similar- what does Nappa calfskin mean? And can someone attest to how comfortable the bag is when worn crossbody? I’m wondering if it’ll be too long on my 5’4 self.
I usually see nappa refer to lamb skin so my best guess is Nappa calf is a much more supple and perhaps delicate version of the smooth calf. I have smooth calf on mine and it’s soft but also quite thick and hearty
So I’ve been using my Puzzle for a bit now and it’s amazing. Just wanted to share my husband’s take on it. He doesn’t usually care about my bags, why would he, but he actually noticed this one. He said “I really like that bag!”, which surprised me! And then “it’s really cool, looks like a basketball”. I’m dead. Never thought of it that way but… he’s not wrong! Lol.
Hello everyone 
I recently bought a small puzzle in SAND color GHW. Can i ask if there are any issues so far regarding color transfer to those who own the same color? Im thinking of changing my wardrobe to more neutrals..since i usually wear dark colored clothings. thank you so much. Hoping someone will share their thoughts

There's this youtuber that I watch - PiecesofCeline who has the sand combo and she said she's never had any issues with colour transfer.Hello everyone
Should be ok, just steer clear of deep dark denim.Hello everyone
Could anyone tell me what their opinion is of the difference between Loewe classic calfskin and soft grained calfskin? And how the edging on their puzzle has held up?
I've fallen deeply for the Small puzzle in Soft White (it has tan edging) but just wondering what the difference is between the two leathers is like- feels like? (apart from the obvious that one is more grained than the other) Also wondering how the contrasted edging will go over time... it wouldn't be an everyday bag but it would be in regular rotation.
Unfortunately there is no place that stocks Loewe in my state so I can't check it out in person! TIA for any advice

Both leathers are so beautiful, I was choosing between the smooth tan color and the grained sand color, but ultimately went with the grained sand because the hardware was gold, and the strap I was getting for it had gold clasps. (On the smooth tan calfskin the hardware was silver). I also think the size of the bag is the more important factor of how the bag will wear over time, I've seen a medium sized puzzle bag in the grained leather look extremely smushed and structureless at the airport (but I'm guessing that bag was very well loved which I like to see).
As for the edging, there is a spot on my puzzle bag that the edge glazing was applied quite thinly..I was worried about rubbing and exposing the leather over time but so far it's held up well.
That soft white with the tan edging is stunning! I hope you get it.
Just received my small tan puzzle in smooth calfskin, and noticed there’s a lot of variation in the amount of graininess between the pieces. For example, the flap is quite a but grainier than the front. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?
I’d prefer to not have to exchange, since I prefer the white anagram and that is getting harder to find since they changed it to the embossed anagram. Any input is appreciated! Thanks!
