Let’s dive into the review:
Let’s be real, I bought this bag on total impulse. I swear I’m not an impulsive buyer buuuuttt… reatil therapy is a valid way to relieve some stress, right? (Nah, just kidding… 🙄)
When I first got the Amazona 180 Small, I fell in love with the size. Perfect for daily errands or a casual stroll. But let's be honest, it’s a bit of a brick for its size. Plus, it’s black, and with summer coming up, it just wasn't giving the right vibe for my warm-weather outfits in the Mediterranean cost.
That’s when the intrusive thoughts won. I started mulling over getting a small Puzzle (the only size missing from my collection). I wanted the featherlight version because it’s waaaay lighter than the OG, but the regular soft leather and its colors didn’t wow me. Then, while scrolling through albums and the Loe website, I saw the featherlight Puzzle in nubuck and it was love at first sight. Instant sold.
I know nubuck is high-maintenance, but you guys, the visuals. It’s insanely soft but still has that beautiful texture. It had that perfect slouch right out of the box, collapses on its own, and the color is so rich. And the interior? Literal butter. When you reach inside, you just know it's luxury. Pretty sure it’s lambskin because it is soooo supple.
The engravings? Absolute chef’s kiss🤌🏼 The anagram is crisp, detailed, and perfectly stamped, not too deep, not too shallow compared to other factories. Here is where Jipin factory stands out in my opinion.
I’ve been using it every single day. It's light, neutral, and compact. Personally, I save my big lether black tote, or large puzzles for coat season; in the summer, big bags just feel a bit too overwhelming, specially if you’re forced to wear shorts, linen, etc.
10/10 experience with Mandy as always, especially since I ordered right around the holiday season in China.
And with this new Puzzle, my collection is officially closed for the time being. After some months of shopping, I’m officially going back into lurker mode, just scrolling through your hauls😆
Thank you!
