Currently browsing Bergdorf right now, and I ran into these beauties! I love these new small Puzzles with their monochrome look. The thicker strap is also a plus for me as well as it suits my style better, though I’m not sure if they’re adjustable. The canvas lining is matched to the color of the bag as well. The main difference I see compared to the current puzzles is that the back pocket no longer has a zipper. The pecan color has my heart right now :lol:

•Mini Puzzles

Edit:
They have quite a bit of new items on there for preorder. The new Goya puffers can be viewed as well!

wow! Did you touch it? Does the leather feel the same as the old one? They look more shiny and possibly softer which would be a huge pro in my book
 
hi can you let me know where did you get your bag from?
i've seen that they have changed the logo, the smooth leather is no longer with the white embossed logo.
I returned the one with the more pebbled flap and ordered another from Net-a-Porter and it still has the white logo. The new one has much more uniform smooth leather.
 
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 :flowers:

did you end up buying the soft white puzzle? I am considering it in the small size. If you bought it, have you found it to be durable? do you use it frequently? I’m not sure if I should purchase the soft white but I love the white with the tan edging.

It’s really beautiful in real life. i have the grained leather puzzle in another color but I think this leather type makes it less prone to dirt and color transfer. So if you don’t wear dark denim often I’d say this is the best white bag you can get. :tup::girlsigh: I’m considering it too.

Thank you…I just bought it from BG. 15% off from bergdorf Goodman for new email sign up (used my daughter’s email since I’ve done this before) and an additional 10%off by going through rakuten. I hope I love it! This will be the fourth puzzle bag I’ve owned…I get bored of the color but never of the style so I keep buying and selling!

Let me know how it goes when it arrives! Excited for you!

Yes I did buy it (I got the small too!), have I used it yet? Unfortunately no as it's middle of winter here and I'm a tad nervous about colour transfer with all the dark colours I tend to wear in winter. But I'll try to take some pictures of it this weekend when it's meant to be sunnier!

First impressions- the white has a slight greyish undertone like @viewwing described when I asked (thank you viewwing!) but it's not overly cool. Leather is beautiful and thick, I definitely think the soft grained calf leather is very durable- it's not going to scuff/mark up as easily as a smooth leather. I think this will be a go-to bag during the warmer months for me.

I am considering getting a twilly to wrap the handle with to add some protection to it as I think this would be the main area that might show wear and tear (with all our hand oils etc.)... I do wish Loewe hadn't gotten rid of the feet as that'd protect the base a bit more but I'm really happy I got it overall!
 
Went down to the boutique to check out the new mono-colored puzzles but sadly this release is not going to be for me. The colors are ALL lovely and the uniform hardware color etc (even the interior herringbone cotton canvas lining is color matched!) really gives the bag a different look from prior puzzle releases. The back of small puzzle does not have the zip pocket and is a slip pocket instead (less difficulty in matching the hardware color I presume, as the opening zip is the only hardware that remains gold in color, though it's not visible generally vs the back). Unfortunately the beautiful non-adjustable leather strap that comes with the mini and small puzzles in this release are very very short, and totally unusable for myself and my partner. It hangs awkwardly mid-torso and isn't able to sit at the hip like the typical straps included with the puzzles (set at close to max length). Very sad to miss out on this release, and hoping that they would release a variant for men's sizes!!

I feel like they definitely fumbled this release with the non-adjustable straps. The new bags could’ve catered to more clients if the straps weren’t very limiting.

Yes, I am really not a fan of non-adjustable straps in general. Even the men's jacquard strap which I got (there's a non adjustable one two seasons back) is a tad too long for me and has resulted in significantly lower use of that strap vs others...

I bought one of the current season mini puzzle bags with color blocking. Now I want to sell my bag. The mini is cute but it’s too cumbersome to get in and out, especially my phone. I thought the mini does fit everything I need but it’s hard to get in and out. I can’t open the bag and grab stuff with one hand. I can’t return it because I bought it overseas. Does anyone feel this regret with the mini?
