Hi everyone! I can't believe it's been 3 years since I bought my small puzzle bag. I also can't believe the price increase since I've bought it! However, it's worth every penny.
If you have any questions, please leave them down below.
Thank you for all the love and support with my channel - I appreciate you all! xo

One of my favourite bags that you have and NOW ITS SO EXPENSIVE BOO
You inspired me to go for the taupe 2 years ago. One of the best purchases ever. Thanks for the great update 😀
Yay! So happy to hear you are loving your puzzle bag. It truly is such a beautiful bag and such great quality!
I have reduced my luxury handbag collection to 2 bags, and the Loewe Puzzle in medium remains my favorite bag of my (now mostly contemporary) collection. This bag is completely my style aesthetic. I bought it before the prices went completely wild. I'm considering getting another one from the second-hand market.
Yay! so glad to hear that you are still loving it. The puzzle is truly such an amazing and beautiful bag. If I can find the mini preloved, in good condition, I'll probably get it!
I’m interested to know what your other bag is! Do you mind sharing? I have less than 20 bags and want to reduce it further!
The prices are wild I want one but saw how much they are now I’m reconsidering 😬🤑
I just purchased a small sand puzzle bag from Harrods for $2456 plus $30 shipping to USA. I also followed the link from Ratuten and Harrods had a 10% cash back day so that reduced the price about $250.00 . The second hand market seems higher then new.
@@alicee5270 wow that’s interesting to know thanks for sharing
I love the puzzle.it’s my most comfortable and carefree bag. I’m thinking about getting a second small puzzle in black. I just love the smooth calfskin and how lightweight it is. It is so effortlessly chic!
Great review! On the preloved market it’s usually in great condition so I’m sure the quality is perfection!!
Thanks for the review. I've been contemplating this bag for a couple of years now and I regret not getting it sooner. I'm downsizing my collection consisting mostly of LV, which I still love but will only be keeping key pieces that I actually use and SLGs that I can't live without, to make room for this bag. It's in stock at Holts. How refreshing that something I want is actually in stock. Your bag really is in excellent condition after three years of constant use.
Yes! It’s held up amazing! The leather is honestly so lux and buttery.
So helpful! I have had my small puzzle since May and I love it. I got it pre-loved, I think when I did it was less than a year old, and came to me looking basically like new (from Fashionphile). Mine is the mink/sand colorway, if I ever got another I think I'd like it in a caramel brown, but honestly I feel a bit priced out at this point! Grateful to have the one I do. 🥰
The prices have gone wild
I am so tempted to get this bag! Appreciate your thorough review.
Glad I could help! It's such an amazing bag. Maybe there will be sales at Black Friday.
I recently bought the mini puzzle in tan, with silver hardware. I bought an adjustable strap with logo seperatly to give the bag an overall edge. I just love this bag and the leather is parfait 🙂 The tan from Loewe is goals!
Ohhh that must look so amazing! I love the Loewe guitar strap, it's much more classy than the LV version. Congrats!
Awww Yay! Thanks again so so much! 🥰😘
That bag has been on my wishlist since you first got it! Crazy that it’s price has almost doubled! 😬
But this review after 3 years is making that I will keep saving for it! It’s a gorgeous understated and not flashy bag and I love that about it! Thanks so much for sharing bella! Xx
Congratulations again Maria! The puzzle is truly so beautiful and the quality is amazing. It makes the price tag worth it.
Hola 👋🏾 Absolutely LOVE this bag and is on my wishlist 💜 Thanks for the honest and detailed review. Have a good one and I really enjoy your videos 😊
Thank you! Glad I could help! The puzzle is such an amazing bag.
I love my medium tan puzzle bag to bits (which I got years ago for $2250 USD, such a good discount!!) and really regret not getting the small back when I had the chance. Loewe has since changed so many things about the small and continues to raise its price (less value for more money) 😩 I do still want the small in either black or avocado because the size is so versatile, but I'm definitely finding it hard to get over the differences between the new and old versions for a larger amount of money.
I also worry that the non-classic colors (like avocado) might be at risk of lower quality craftsmanship since Loewe's been releasing endless variations of this bag to capitalize on its popularity. You know how quantity often ends up taking precedence over quality when this happens, sigh. As much as I love Loewe for their understated minimalism, I worry that the puzzle line's rapid expansion might be contributing to some recent oversight in their quality assurance department; I received two defective SLGs this year and had to exchange them several times because the initial exchange replacements also had the same defects. Just some cause for concern as I'd never experienced issues with Loewe craftsmanship prior to this :(
I got my small puzzle bag a year ago in tan colour. Had it service this month and add the Loewe logo bag charm 2 days ago. I loved it and most use bag.
Yes! It’s such an amazing bag and the craftsmanship is impeccable!
Love that handbag! ❤️That will be my next one i hope🙏. This is a great video👍 and review!!!
Loved this review! I recently bought the sand mink in small and was lucky enough to buy the last piece in Australia! They’ve discontinued this gorgeous colour now. Wish I had bought it sooner when I first saw it on you ✨
Congrats on the gorgeous colour! The leather of the sand mink is so lush!
Love your pop of red. Love your videos
I have this exact one, and I can also confirm that I LOVE it. Best bag purchase I have ever made, quality and craftsmanship speaks for it self. I have owned a couple of Chanel bags, but sold them all because I always use this one.
That’s great to hear another loving it I’m so keen to get this bag
The small puzzle bag is on my wishlist!!
Yay! It's such an amazing bag!
I got my small puzzle a few months ago pre-loved in the tan with silver hardware. It was barely used and price was roughly around $2200. I think pre-loved is the way to go for this handbag. It’s really expensive to buy brand new.
Great review! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Same here, love the tan! It's in great condition and quite a savings from brand new. 😁❤
Congrats on the amazing deal! I agree, if you can find it preloved at a good price, in great condition, buy it!
That’s awesome! Wish I could find a perfect one preloved
This color red is amazing on you!
Awww thank you! ☺
Super helpful (as always), Lauren!
Aww thank you! 💕
As far as I can see, only the one with pebble leather has the embossed brand on it ☺️
Nice review! I have both in tan and stone blue 😍
Yes, I think you are right! The stone blue is AMAZING.
Would love to see what fits inside!👍🏻 love the video
Will do!
This is still #1 on my wishlist! 😍
Jocelyn, you need this bag!
@@LValiquette I totally agree!!!❤️
Thank you so much for your review! Your initial review on this bag is what sold me on it. P.s. Those earrings are beautiful! Where are they from?
Yay! It's such an amazing bag. My earrings are from Oak & Fort 💕
Can't wait for your comparison of the small vs mini puzzle that you have on your wishlist for this year to help decide which one I should consider! Trust your opinion x100!
If they had the small puzzle in the Angora colour with palladium hardware that would be the winner! I like the adjustable strap of the small size. Thank you for the support with my channel ☺️.
Getting this bag in Sand. This review is very helpful! I’ve had my eyes on for 3 years now and I’m finally biting the bullet.
Ohh the Sand colour is gorgeous! Enjoy your new bag!
Congrats! Do you love it?
@@billiexluxury i do!!! Fits so much. Use it a lot when travelling. It’s pickpocket proof too due to the zipper.
@@yckieh568 thinking about getting the sand one as well! Where did u purchase yours? Thanks!
@@raduna2106 i got it from ssense! ❤️ to be honest I’m regretting my colour choice as I wear more warm toned things more. Now I want it in the tan! 🫣😂
Love this bag, one day I'll own one 💕
The nano bags are pouches with a strap 😆 very clever marketing 😅
LOL! Yes, it's basically a pouch with a strap. The word nano always gets my attention.
I really want one too
One way to fix that loose strap is to get a small flat rubber band and hide/tuck it under the strap holder. I only say “flat” in order to prevent indentation, but who knows, maybe a regular band is just fine.
Ohhh that’s a great idea - thank you!
Do you use an organizer? If so, which one?
I love my small puzzle bag…no regrets buying it.
such an amazing bag!
I love this bag but I would not pay full price on it unless you want tan or black. The color always goes on sale, you can also go to the outlet. I would love to go to an outlet on day. Love the quality.
Were does it go on sale?
A few years back, I saw the black go on sale at ssense for an amazing price. But you are right, typically only the colours go on sale.
I'm torn between the mini and small, but I definitely want to get a puzzle bag! I am going to patiently wait for the right one to pop up on the secondhand market.
The small is a pretty perfect size. I really want the mini because I just like little bags in general 😀. The only thing I’m hesitant about is the strap on the mini not being adjustable.
I can understand why you returned the mini/nano. Mini bags are soo hard to purchase because I always wonder if they’re worth it especially if they don’t fit a phone 😅
The nano was so cute...I almost kept it. But you're right, it's hard sell at that price point (especially when my phone doesn't fit!).
My Puzzle bag has spoiled me for any other bag. Nothing else compares IMO. I think the bags with smooth leather have the white added to the logo and the pebbled leather does not. Mine is exactly like yours.
Yes, you and I will forever love our puzzle bags! Ohh, that makes sense about the white logo. Thank you!
I *think* only the grained puzzles have the embossed anagram and the smooth leathers have the white anagram!
I think you are totally right! That makes sense.
I have the smooth calfskin in the warm desert color way and it has the embossed anagram.
I lauren, I'm torn between black or tan. Are you still planning on the mini? I think that is so cute too. But im planning for size small first. How have you liked the black or do you ever think of tan?? Thanks!
I personally like the black! I’m not a huge fan of tan bags, but I think it’s because my wardrobe is mostly dark and I don’t wear a ton of creams/whites/browns. I love the angora colour, it’s a light beige.
Thank you I’m thinking of getting a small one for my 23 years old sister
Ohh that’s so nice of you!
I feel like for $1500 USD, you can get a lambskin or soft calfskin Proenza Schouler Tiny - with just as good craftsmanship and much more organization. I do love the look of the Loewe bags - and yours is a stunner - but we're talking Chanel prices on a Loewe bag - without the return on investment, should you decide to sell it.
Yeah, the price increases on Loewe are really making them comparable in price to Chanel bags. It's funny, even though I love luxury bags, I've never found something from Chanel that I've really loved. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough haha.
@@LValiquette I don't have any Chanel either- so I understand. It's just not my vibe. I'm definitely a Proenza Schouler girl! The Loewe bags are gorgeous and made well - so enjoy your bag - it's a stunner!
hi would like to know if the white anagram logo on the flap of your puzzle has any cracks or starts cracking already? I saw other review and scared that the white embossed logo will crack over time, hesitant to get one with the white logo or just plain embossed.
Both my Loewe pieces with the white emobossed logo have zero cracking.
I used to own the stone blue puzzle and the tan puzzle and used both all the time...no issues with the white anagram cracking. The bag is so durable and comfortable to wear.
Do you think the leather gets better with age? I feel like it has a nice shine to it that it didn’t have when new.
It’s been 5 years since I bought it and the leather almost looks the same. It has aged so well.
🤍🖤🤍 On another note the red jumper looks fabulous with your dark hair
Aww thank you!
🤍🖤🤍 I’m really keen to buy this bag but the price is crayyyy now. Wish I brought it a couple of years ago. Hopefully I can find one on the preloved market in excellent condition. I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Yes, the price increases are insane! It's definitely an amazing bag, so if you can find a preloved one in great condition, do it!
