Puzzle Bag in Grained Calfskin — Black, Large

Jonathan Anderson's first bag for Loewe, introduced in 2015, was an argument that a handbag could be a construction problem. The Puzzle became the piece that defined his tenure and the template for a decade of Loewe bags that treated assembly as ornament.

It is built from flat geometric panels cut, seamed and folded into a rectangular box, so the whole bag collapses flat and reopens into shape, with the seams left visible as the design rather than hidden. Supple black grained calfskin in the Large size, with a zip closure, top carry handle and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. Made in Spain, where Loewe has worked leather since its founding as a cooperative in 1846.

The panel construction means it reads differently from every angle — boxy head-on, angular in profile, nearly flat when collapsed — and the calfskin is asked to do work most houses would solve with a frame. It sits closer to an architectural object than a conventional shoulder bag, and it remains the clearest statement of Anderson's Loewe. Size Large.
