Is the Loewe puzzle bag too ubiquitous?

[RowNine]

In the market for a new bag and like the Loewe puzzle but wondering if it's a bit done now?

Need some inspiration! What would you go for? Maximum budget of 2.5k but would rather spend less. Also open to buying second hand.

Buy whatever you like OP, not what is or not on trend…

That’s a lovely bag tbf. I always stick to the classics so I wouldn’t be put off.

I think once Matalan start producing a virtually identical bag, it’s probably over

How about the Loafer bag? It’s by JW Anderson, who designed the puzzle - https://jwanderson.com/collections/loafer-bags

😆

oh I really like the Matalan one!*Misses point

I'm not looking for anything particularly on trend - hence why I was worried the Puzzle is now too popular.

Basically looking for inspiration.

Prefer subtle branding so maybe Celine Phantom or half moon or a Khaite bag. Also like Toteme t lock and Phoebe Philo but understand quality might not be up to scratch?

Any suggestions very very welcome!

I'd still buy the Puzzle bag (not the Puzzle Edge). I've loved it for years, but couldn't justify the price.

I like it

Its popular online but I haven't seen it out and about - to be fair though, i'm hardly strutting about mayfair 🙈

Do it, i say xx

I have an Acne Musubi tote which always gets compliments.

If you like the Puzzle, get the Puzzle.

I like it too.

Personally, I do not like the Puzzle bag. I don’t think it’s anything special. There are much nicer bags out there for that price point.

It's so subjective though isn't it? The fact that it's still in demand after 10 years shows it's more than a fleeting trend.

Yup. Just sharing my opinion.
