Honestly, can't go wrong with a small puzzle 💙💙💙 mine's from 2018/2019 and the leather is still so buttery soft and have withstood rain/snow/water spill. Yours is def a FOREVER piece!! Kinda sad that their collab w/ Ghibli has ended but finger cross they come up w/ something more droolworthy 👀👀
i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they do something else amazing soon, but i pray they give it a year or two because the HMC collab murdered my bank account lol
when i managed to snag it i actually cried a bit cus i felt like part of my childhood was fulfilled somehow. and the charm was definitely the icing on the cake 💖💖
I feel like investment wise, the Ghibli collabs have kept their value. I’ve been wanting the small puzzle bag from the Spirited Away collab (same colorway as yours but with the little stars) and finding a small for a decent price was IMPOSSIBLE (there’s a bunch of minis listed but mini is too small for me). There’s a mint condition one on eBay for $9k but I waited a couple of months and a gently used one popped up for $3.9k and I got it Side note: have you used any leather care on your bag? With the different leathers/textures, I’m not for sure if I should even apply anything on it
amazing you found one for a pretty decent price!!! also good choice on size. i love the mini but it’s literally just sooo small. i really can’t use that size for more than a simple errand. i have not used any leather care because i’m terrified hahaha i’ll eventually ask my leather person because i’m sure there’s some like colorless leather moisturizer that can work on any leather but i’m not sure. (let me know if you find out)
I’ve worn my HMC puzzle lots already and no scratches! I’m not even particularly careful about it I got colour transfer / dirt from it rubbing on my navy coat and a damp, white microfibre cloth took it right out!! It looks brand new again

Your puzzle still looks amazing. I’m scared of the potential wear and scratches on my satin puzzle from the HMC collection 😢
Also, there are a ton of fakes now on eBay for the ghibli x loewe collabs. It’s quite scary 😢
thank you!!! but i’m sure it’ll wear just fine!! loewe leathers are so amazing

@@Trianglify oh that's great to hear!! what color puzzle did you get?
@@janelaluan the one in rust with calcifer! What about you?
I love the soot sprite bag charm!! Was it from loewe directly too?
yes! from the same totoro collab. the spirited away one does have one with the konpeito candy but i kinda like how this one is just round lol
So cute
thank you 💖💖 even after all this time 🫶🏽🫶🏽
