Great video! Really appreciate how detailed it was. I am about to buy this bag in same colour and size and your review just convinced me even more hehe
omg I also started my collection with a Loewe puzzle (large size in black) for the exact same reason. The design, leather quality, the slouch effect, everything just spoke to me!
Amazing review! It’s really worth the price! Got mine last year in medium all black soft-grained calfskin leather for men. Checked the same bag 2days ago and its now 181K php at shang boutique.
Thanks! Yes I did a video about 3 months ago where I reacted to current prices of my handbags and there, it’s already listed at 181k. I was surprised at the jump!
My favourite bag model - the loewe puzzle bags. Good review. The opening of the puzzle bag (both the size small and medium) is more convenient than the speedy 25. And due to the flap - it’s okay to be left unzipped.
Hey! Love this video and so grateful for the detailed review. Question- is the bunching/scrunching of the leather on the handle something that developed over time or was it there from the beginning?
Thanks for watching! I really haven’t noticed it before. Most probably it’s there from the beginning as the handle is really solid in structure unlike the body of the bag
Excellent, and thorough review. Mod shots very helpful as we are same height. The Loewe bag definitely has held up very well. Do you find it convenient for an everyday or weekend bag? Do you find it gets heavy? I plan on getting this exact bag, pre-loved, and definitely plan on getting an organizer. Where did you get yours? How did you clean your bag? (New subbie here).
Thanks! Happy to give some insight into my love for this bag. Right now, I don’t bring as much stuff so I don’t use it as much. BUT it got a lot of use when it was my only high end luxury bag back then. I also brought it to travel with me and it was my daily bag then. Since it’s a light bag in and of itself, I don’t tend to stuff it to the point where I can’t handle the weight. The strap’s also wide and comfortable enough so it helps. Feel free to check out my bag care video for some tips. I bought my organizer from a local online platform called Shopee.
I love my SLGs… sort of an addict but I’ve stopped (at SLG peace, you might say). If you haven’t, feel free to watch my SLG collection video… lots of eye candy there 😊
thanks for this review! I really want to grab one :) did i miss your discussion about the various types of leather? I want a heavy duty bag as I live in rainy London, want to make sure it doesn't scratch and screw up the leather! thanks x
Not sure if I touched on it... I have seen the grained leather version in person. Frankly, I would still prefer the smooth one. It's not as scratch-prone as people would expect because up close there's still a bit of grain present and it's still calfskin. As you can see from my bag, I don't see any prominent wear even if it's been used a lot. The grained version is more expensive and I personally don't like the size of the grain on them --- That's just my opinion. My bag has been rained on a few times and I just wiped it off without any damage whatsoever (but I do admit to using some sort of leather protector on them such as CarbonPro or Havre de Luxe). But ultimately, it's up to you because it would depend on the color you prefer. Some colors only come in the grained version.
It’s been almost a year since this review. I don’t think it’s gotten worse. Then again, I rarely use the bag nowadays because I now have more bags on rotation.
Honestly, not really. The bag itself is not that heavy for me so I put a bunch of stuff in there and with the thick strap, it’s not uncomfortable or weighs down on my shoulder.
I just bought mine from a local seller in the Philippines instagram.com/bagorganizersph It’s not as expensive so the felt material is a little rougher but I don’t mind 😊 haven’t bought from samorga
hi wondering if the white embossed anagram logo on the flap of the bag has any cracks or starts cracking? Read somewhere that it could crack overtime..
I think it depends on your proportions with the bag. I personally don’t find it bulky. You can check my mod shots in the video. 😊 The leather is also soft and not so structured so it’s not too stiff and can rest properly against your body
I have the same one and do not find it bulky. If you have doubts, if possible, try different sizes in a store. Maybe the small size fits all you're needs
Not everyone has the opportunity to visit store were they sell Loewe, but if you can, go try out which size suits you're bodyframe and which size can carry everything you need
It's a beautiful bag! It seems you had to really pull on the opening to see into the bag, would you consider the short zippered opening a drawback, if you had to name one drawback? I wonder if all Puzzle flaps are wavy, don't lay flat? Anyone else's flap do this too?
@@bethanyanderson1745 Hi. Sorry I just saw the comment now. I am not really bothered by the opening because it's open at the end so it's not really that enclosed (if you see the end of the zipper it can flap open). I have no problem putting a camera and even a water bottle in there. If by wavy, you mean soft and not structured, then yes, I think most puzzle bags are like that and they get even softer over time.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I personally think the large puzzle is the one that's more of a man size bag. The medium is still, after all, part of the women's collection. It all depends on how you'll use the bag. I personally use this more for travel or if I have a lot of stuff to bring for work.

It truly is a great bag! And a unique first choice for a first designer handbag. :)

Thank you. I also have the speedyb25 and just because of its unique and understated design, i like the puzzle a little bit more 😊
My grained light caramel medium is en route to me now! Also my 1st lux self purchase, for the same reasons. Glad I found your review 😃
Enjoy your new bag!! Happy to have helped in some way…
Thanks so much for your detailed video ❤❤❤
You're welcome. Glad to be of help!
I am so happy I came across your channel!!!

So many cute SLG's 😍 it fits quite a lot.

Does it slouch if you don't put in the organizer? Thank u 💕
Oh yeah it slouches… best demonstrated when it barely has anything inside…
Hi where did you buy your passport holder? Thanks
Hi. It's from PACSafe (I think I bought it in Glorietta 5 but I'm not sure if that particular branch is still open). It's an RFIDsafe passport holder.
@@imbaghappy okay Thank you!
Crush ko din tong bag natu.. the small size.. included on my wishlist video...💕😘

Which bag organiser do you use?
I purchased from instagram.com/bagorganizersph a local seller 😊 It’s the same organizer I use for my Speedy B 25
Did you get any glazing issues on the sides over time?
So far, no problems on glazing whatsoever. It’s really held up well at over four years old
Hola, how about now condition en part corner of handle ( near hardware ) is getting worse?
It’s been almost a year since this review. I don’t think it’s gotten worse. Then again, I rarely use the bag nowadays because I now have more bags on rotation.
I asked to loewe store, it could be repair About 70€.
@@bellaaddict6225 Hmmm. I don't think that's too bad.
Sold haha 😍Thanks for sharing x
Haha! Happy to help!
I’m now waiting for my commission haha joke
Do you find it gets too heavy for all-day use when you travel? That is my only concern with this bag.
Honestly, not really. The bag itself is not that heavy for me so I put a bunch of stuff in there and with the thick strap, it’s not uncomfortable or weighs down on my shoulder.
Is the leather easily scratch?
Nope… at least in my experience. The classic calfskin is durable and doesn’t need to be babied
What brand of bag organizer do you use for your Loewe Puzzle Bag Medium? Is it samorga?
I just bought mine from a local seller in the Philippines instagram.com/bagorganizersph It’s not as expensive so the felt material is a little rougher but I don’t mind 😊 haven’t bought from samorga
hi wondering if the white embossed anagram logo on the flap of the bag has any cracks or starts cracking? Read somewhere that it could crack overtime..
There are some crack marks but from afar, the logo is still pretty much whole. Doesn’t bother me at all. I think it’s all part of normal wear and tear
I'm considering buying this bag. Do you find it bulky?
I think it depends on your proportions with the bag. I personally don’t find it bulky. You can check my mod shots in the video. 😊

I started with Loewe also , than my second choice was Celine . LV is oversaturated ….
Balenciaga and Loewe are brands from Spain...courious
That's a man size bag....

It all depends on how you'll use the bag. I personally use this more for travel or if I have a lot of stuff to bring for work.
The design is not so good. Honest opinion.
Why ?
Why are you watching then??? Move on to Michael Kors 🤬🤥🤬🤥🤬
