Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Loewe Medium Puzzle Bag? A: As a medium top‑handle, it usually carries daily essentials with ease: smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary/notebook and an 11‑inch tablet. A 13‑inch laptop generally does not fit. Capacity can vary slightly by year—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? Is the strap adjustable or detachable? A: Medium Puzzle bags typically include a detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear in addition to the top handle. Strap length and hole count vary by season; we list the strap drop under Measurements. Everything included with this specific bag is shown under Accessories/photos—if a strap isn’t mentioned, please ask us to confirm.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Most Medium Puzzles feature a zip‑top main compartment that offers good everyday security. Many versions also include an exterior zip pocket and interior slip/zip pockets. Our listing notes this piece has a beige lining with two interior pockets—please review the photos for the exact layout.
Q: Is the Medium Puzzle heavy? A: It’s designed to be comfortably lightweight for a leather bag. Actual weight depends on leather and hardware, commonly around 600–800 g. If you’d like the exact weight of this piece, we’re happy to measure it for you.
Q: What leather is used, and how should I care for this light pink colour? A: Puzzles are commonly crafted in smooth or grained calf leather with textile lining and metal hardware. For a light colour like pink, be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim and freshly dyed fabrics. Keep away from moisture and oils; wipe with a soft, dry cloth; and condition smooth leather very sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Store stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect the strap/hardware to avoid imprints.
Q: Can it handle rain? Will the geometric panels lose their shape? A: Natural leather isn’t waterproof. If it becomes lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. The Puzzle’s paneled construction keeps its structure with normal use—avoid overfilling and prolonged storage under weight. We don’t recommend long‑term storage folded flat; store it lightly padded to maintain the facets.
Q: Is the Puzzle bag still produced? What’s the difference between Puzzle and Puzzle Edge? A: The Puzzle remains a Loewe icon, though details evolve over time. Newer “Puzzle Edge” versions have refined edges and subtly updated proportions/hardware. The pre‑loved market is ideal for earlier configurations and colours like this vintage piece.
Q: Will my iPad or small laptop fit? A: An 11‑inch tablet typically fits; a 13‑inch laptop usually does not due to the dimensions and zip opening. Compare your device’s measurements with those shown on this page or ask us for a quick fit check for this exact item.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes, and where is this one made? A: Authentic Loewe bags feature an interior LOEWE heat‑stamp with the country of origin and a serial/production code on an internal leather tab or label; placement varies by era. Our listing indicates this piece is made in Spain—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos of the stamps and code.
Q: How do you authenticate and what accessories are included? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, construction, stamps, serial/production code and hardware. Any included items (e.g., detachable strap, dust bag) are listed under Accessories and shown in our photos. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
