The Loewe Puzzle bag is one masterpiece of itself — as it looks really nice and as nice as it looks, there are lots of replicas out there on the market for this model.

We’re here to protect you from buying a fake.

How To Spot FAKE Loewe Puzzle Bag

You can tell if a Loewe Puzzle bag is real or fake by checking the interior label. A fake Loewe bag has the “Made in Spain” text thinner than real examples.

1. Interior label

  • The fake bag’s “LOEWE” inscription looks too thin, and how the authentic bag has the same text thicker.
  • The letters are also placed a bit too far away from each other.
  • The “Made in Spain” text is too thin on the fake Loewe Puzzle bag.

On the other hand, since the authentic Loewe Puzzle bag has its characters thinner, they are placed closer to each other.

The authentic Loewe Puzzle bag has its “Made in Spain” text looking thicker, as its appearance is bulkier than the fake bag’s thinner look.

2. Loewe logo

  • The fake Loewe Puzzle bag has its little Loewe logo looking too thick, while the authentic bag has its same logo looking thinner.
  • The fake logo is this thick because it fits too deep inside the leather, whereas the authentic bag has its logo fit less deep inside the bag, so it looks thinner.

3. Strap

  • The fake stitches are too thin and too small.
  • They’re also badly attached to the bag — they’re not as dense as needed.

Looking at the authentic Loewe Puzzle bag, you can see how its stitches are thicker and bigger and how they have a constant density throughout all sides of the patch.

4. Pull tab

  • The fake Loewe Puzzle bag has threads in the stitching lines looking too small.
  • They’re also thick when compared to the real Puzzle bag.

Mentioning the genuine Loewe Puzzle bag, see how its stitching lines look bigger and thinner than the fake bag’s stitches.

A quick mention:

  • The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
  • The next few steps are still reliable methods…
  • … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

5. Keychain

6. Zipper

Shortlist: Tell a fake Loewe Puzzle bag in 30 seconds

  1. Check the interior side’s label of your Loewe Puzzle bag. The replica Lowe Puzzle bags commonly have their text at the wrong font-weight.
  2. Examine the logo engraved on the side of your Loewe Puzzle bag, as the fake ones usually have their logo either looking too thick or too thin.
  3. Verify the stitching on the patch with the strap on your Loewe Puzzle bag. Mostly, the fake Loewe bags have their stitching too small, too thin, and too little defined.
  4. Check the pull tab that you zip and unzip the pocket of your bag. The replica bags tend to have their stitching on the pull tab too small and thick.
  5. Inspect the “LOEWE” text engraved on the keychain of your Loewe Puzzle bag, as fake bags usually have their text looking too thick.
  6. Look at the Loewe logo on the zipper of your Loewe Puzzle bag, since the fake bags commonly have this logo too thick as well.
  7. Brief the stitching lines on the flap of your bag, since the fake items usually have their stitches too thin.
  8. Check the stitching job done at the bottom of your bag, because the fake Loewe Puzzle bags usually have their stitches too long and too thin.
  9. Have a look at the stitching on the leather tab since the pieces also tend to have these stitches also too long and too thin.
