How are these bags curated?
Looking for a leather alternative to the Loewe Puzzle? Whether you're looking for a similar bag that opens more easily or one at a different price point, you've come to the right place.
This curation takes care to avoid direct dupes. Rather each bag holds their own as a unique piece, with a similar vibe to the Loewe Puzzle in terms of its geometric design or famous slouch.
What is the history of the Loewe Puzzle?
Loewe's former creative director Jonathan Anderson created the Puzzle as his first design for Loewe. “It was about deconstructing a conventional bag to create a flat object with a tridimensional function." An origami inspired bag that transforms pieces of stitched and folded leather into a three-dimensional shape, it was unveiled at Loewe's men's SS15 presentation and added to the women's collection at launch.
Would you recommend a dupe such as the Quince Italian Leather Patchwork Crossbody?
This is a very personal choice. It's great to have the option to access a similar bag at a lower price point with the understanding that dupes can be perceived as trying to pass off as the original, without being replicas. The alternatives are bags that have similar features, in this case the Puzzle's distinctive shape, understated luxury, geometric design or slouch, while being unique in their own right. All of the ones we curated stand on their own and most of them are under $1000 so you can find one that fits your budget.
