Values here are published references for the model. Anything we could not verify on an open page is left as “not published yet” on purpose — we do not fill gaps with guesses.

Specifications in cm and inches

Every figure below has a record behind it on this site. Where the record has no value (interior and opening measurements are rarely published), the row says so instead of carrying a guess.

The dimensions come from the model record, which cites the published pages listed under Published specification.

How this size sits in the range

The rows below are the nearest published sizes on this site to the Puzzle, measured the same way (width, height, depth). They are here so a 25 cm body can be judged against a 24 cm and a 28 cm one instead of against a number alone.

Comparisons use published outside measurements. Two bags of the same width can hold different amounts, because depth and body rigidity decide more than width does.

Dimensions in cm and inches

One published figure for the Puzzle here, with the other Loewe bodies quoted for scale.

The Puzzle is published at 29 x 19 x 14 cm, which is 11.4 x 7.5 x 5.5 inches. The line runs across several sizes, and this record covers the mid-size body. The distinguishing feature is the construction: the bag is assembled from panels that meet in a zigzag seam, which allows it to fold almost flat when it is empty and to expand when it is packed.

That folding behaviour is why the published depth of 14 cm reads differently than the same number on a rigid bag. A structured 14 cm body holds its gusset whether or not it is full; a Puzzle collapses, so the same bag looks closer to 8 cm deep when it is carried half empty and closer to 14 cm when the load is carried.

Inch values are the published centimetres converted at 2.54 cm per inch and rounded to one decimal, the same rule the guides use. Rows with no published figure say so.

How to recognise it in a photo

Built from geometric leather panels and folds completely flat, with a zip top and a small zip pocket on the front.

Not this style when: A regular box shape without panel folds is not a Puzzle.

The Puzzle is identifiable from any angle because of how its panels meet.

1. Shape and closure: Built from geometric leather panels and folds completely flat, with a zip top and a small zip pocket on the front.
2. Not this model when: A regular box shape without panel folds is not a Puzzle.
3. Hardware: the record lists gold and silver; the clasp or turn-lock should match that finish in the photos.
4. Materials: classic calfskin, soft grained calfskin on the record — grain and sheen in the photo should look consistent with those.
5. Size in frame: the model record publishes 29 x 19 x 14 cm, so a photograph with a phone or a tape beside the bag is the only way to check the tier.
6. Strap and hardware: ask for the strap or handle laid straight, so the drop can be read rather than estimated from a worn photograph.
7. Look at the seams: the panels meet in a zigzag that runs across the body, and the bag should look folded rather than rounded at the base.

What fits inside

What a 29 x 19 x 14 cm folding body takes, and how the load changes its shape.

A 13-inch tablet, a full wallet, a phone, keys and a pouch fit together, and the folding structure means the bag absorbs a soft item such as a scarf without losing its shape. A slim 13-inch laptop fits in the 29 cm width; a laptop plus a folder plus a water bottle is the point where the bag is being used as a work tote rather than a shoulder bag.

The zip-top opening runs along the top edge of the folded panels, so anything that cannot fold—a hard case, a boxed item—is the limit here rather than the depth itself. Soft contents carry well; rigid contents decide the load.

• A 13-inch tablet, a wallet, keys and a pouch; the geometric body folds flat when half empty.
• A 13-inch tablet, a full wallet, a phone, keys and a pouch fit together.
• A slim 13-inch laptop fits, but with a folder and a bottle the bag is doing a tote’s job.
• Soft items are absorbed by the folding panels; rigid ones decide the load, because the panels cannot give around them.

These capacity notes are read off the published outside dimensions and the tier ladder, not from a measured interior: the site has no published interior figure for this model, so treat them as a size guide rather than a packing list.

No interior measurement is published for the Puzzle, so the notes above are read from the 29 x 19 x 14 cm outside dimensions.

How it compares with the next size up

The other published Loewe bodies and one woven competitor sit within a few centimetres of the Puzzle.

Against the Hammock Medium at 30 x 25 x 13.5 cm, the Puzzle is 1 cm narrower and 6 cm shorter at almost the same depth — the Hammock is the taller, slouchier body and the Puzzle the flatter, more structured one. Against the Flamenco Medium at 30 x 24.5 x 10.5 cm, the Puzzle is 1 cm narrower, 5.5 cm shorter and 3.5 cm deeper, so the drawstring bag is the taller one and the Puzzle the deeper one.

Across houses, the Bottega Veneta Jodie Small at 36 x 21 x 13 cm is 7 cm wider at almost the same depth: a woven slouch body against a panel-built one. Within 7 cm of width that is the trade-off — a wider, softer woven bag, or a 29 cm geometric body that folds flat.

Compared values are the published outside measurements listed in the ladder table above.

What the photos show

The zigzag seam is the signature: in a photograph it should run continuously across the body, with the zip sitting along the top edge of the folded panels.
