I have both the small and medium puzzle in classic calfskin. If you prefer the size of the small, I’d recommend you buy that because the medium is so much bigger. I bought my medium first and then bought the small a few years later. I’m consistently wearing the small now and not wearing the medium, but I won’t sell it because I know I’ll start wearing again at some point. The slouching depends upon how much you stuff into the bag- obviously the more you fill the bag, the less slouch you’ll get. My small started slouching within a few months of use. I don’t think you’ll go wrong in choosing either bag!

Ah thanks for sharing, this is my first time seeing this version IRL (not a stock photo)!
How does the satinated calfskin feel in comparison to their usual smooth calfskin? Do you feel like the hardware will be prone to chipping over time?
Thank you for your reply! I think I would get more use out of the small too. But the pictures of the medium I see on pinterest slouches so beautifully!
I had trouble finding a IRL photo also! This calfskin is gorgeous. It’s extremely smooth and almost and looks luxurious. It doesn’t look overly shiny either, which i was worried about. It almost looks like a rich smooth matte. I have the mini puzzle in Ocean classic calfskin and I do feel like the satin calfskin is firmer and will be less slouchy. As for the hardware, it seems much thicker than a light coating and I don’t see it chipping easily. To compare, I have a YSL with the black hardware and the Loewe seems much more durable and thick. I love the new strap with it also! For me, the original mini strap was too long and thin. The new strap is significantly shorter though and might sit too high on anyone tall. I’m only 5’3 and it is slightly above my waist, any shorter would be too short for my personal preference.
Thank you so much for the detailed description!! It is soooo gorgeous!!
I have a mini puzzle in the mink colorway and I love it so much I've been considering a small puzzle. I originally wanted the tan but it just seems a bit too common so I've been heavily considering the pecan.
I actually ended up getting Loewe puzzle in dark blush (just couple of weeks after I definitely decided to pass on it). I had very busy last few months (back to work, baby+toddler...), so didn't have time to post it here.
I am so happy I added this bag to my small and loved classics collection!
My second Loewe piece, but definitely not the last one. This color is magnificent!

Love this Puzzle bag in dark blush color! Great choice
I know I struggled to find an actual photo of the new solid puzzle bags as others have mentioned. Just received my small and the matching donut chain. Hope this photo helps for anyone contemplating getting it.
It has a super modern and sleek look to it. I’m super happy as it doesn’t look like anything else in my closet right now. I know black isn’t the most exciting color but at this price point I prefer to stick to the classics.
Congrats to everyone else and their new purchases! All gorgeous!!!

I saw this in store and think you’ve made a very good choice. It has this dark, mysterious vibe that’ll go with anything and will stand the test of time. The colored ones were too bublegummy for me if you know what I mean. For sure, the black is a true classic!
my brand new tan baby. 1st day of “slouch training”!
