I actually ordered the one for Anagram Tote Bag Medium because there was one on sale, the size measurements are a few millimeters off but still fits perfectly.

I LOVE this.
I tried this XXL on when I was in Singapore and really liked it.
But it dragged on the floor when hand carried, so it can only be carried on the shoulder for my height.
Plus, trying to reach for the bottom of the bag was a real hassle, even when opening the bag and reaching into it with one strap on my shoulder.
I am 164 cm.
All of the other smaller puzzle totes in the boutique were North-South in style, not East-West. The XXL was the only one, and I really only want an EW style for this tote. When I was there I think it was the FW 2023 collection that was in the boutique.
After months of thinking about the bag after I left Singapore, I decided to get it. By now of course it is the SS 2024 collection that is in stock, and I was buying it online, since there are no Loewe boutique around me. So I was not able to see it in person.
Long story short, I think I have mistakenly bought the XL instead of the XXL
Having said that, I think the XL was actually the size that I was asking about when I was at the boutique.
But, aside from never having seen the XL in person, I have the XXL in my mind when I made the purchase.
So now I am now super nervous about how this XL might look like. Even if both EW in style, sometimes a slight difference in size can make all the difference. With only 10 cm difference between the XL and XXL I doubt there will be much of a difference visually. While functionally, I think it will be better.
Any of you have any photos of each of the XXL and XL carried by someone about 165 cm or 5'4'' ish that we can compare and get a clearer picture on...?
Thanks in advance!

As it turns out the XL is perfect for a smaller shorter frame, and I ended up having my own comparison photos for both sizes carried on an average height of 5’4’’ or 165 cm ish
I might post the two photos later in case any of you are interested.
Thanks for reading me talk to myself!

This post was made with the idea of
(1) sharing my experience with the XXL as someone how is 164 cm (5'4'').
(2) sharing the fact that the XL and XXL are often confused with each other, not only by me, but by online sellers as well.
(3) hoping to have more posts and info about the differences between the two.
I've started another thread to focus on XL and XXL puzzle fold tote from the men's collection for those who might be interested. So far, there does not seem to be much interest, but I thought it might be useful anyway, maybe for possible future reference.

For those who are interested, photos have been posted in a new thread:
The XL and XXL Puzzle Fold Tote
There are no dedicated thread for these totes, and being this big and being east-west rather than north-south like their smaller cousins, it is a whole different beast...! I just received my XL (not XXL) Puzzle Fold Tote and I can not be happier! Originally I thought I was ordering the XXL...

thank you for the history, it is amazing and a more sophisticated design calling for craftsmanship.
how are fellow puzzle tote owners storing their puzzle totes? folded or stuffed/upright? hanging? in or out of dust bag?
i know the bag folds very nicely by design but some part of me irrationally worries about always storing it folded haha

We store ours flat but without anything sitting on top of them - but this had led to us forgetting about one of our large puzzle totes which has hence not seen any use since we bought it. LOL
I’ve honestly not stored mine because it has become my default bag. When I do switch it out I usually stuff it and put it on my closet shelf. Long term, I would probably fold it but be careful not to stack anything on it.
