The Puzzle Bag is the first handbag designed by Jonathan Anderson , the creative director of LOEWE . The design concept of arbitrary folding and transformation made the puzzle bag a favorite of celebrities and fashion street photographers as soon as it was launched, and quickly became the brand's most popular it bag.

Each Puzzle handbag is made up of more than 60 parts . A whole piece of leather needs to be cut into precisely calculated irregular geometric shapes, and then go through multiple processes such as hand-painted edges , pasting, stitching, and shaping. The length of each stitch must be around 2mm, and then zippers, handles, shoulder straps, hardware and other accessories are installed. Even a craftsman with 50 years of experience needs to spend at least 10 hours to finally get a puzzle-like appearance.

Surprisingly, LOEWE not only invited Studio Ghibli to co-brand the brand, but also directly put the characters from the movie "My Neighbor Totoro" on its flagship Puzzle handbags, bringing back memories for those born in the 1980s and 1990s.

"My Neighbour Totoro" is the fourth animated feature film directed by Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki , and was released in Japan in April 1988. The story is set in 1958 and tells the story of the sisters Mei and Satsuki's magical journey with the forest guardian Totoro.

"The optimistic Totoro is the mascot of Studio Ghibli and has become a cultural symbol. If there is a movie that can bring comfort to people of all ages, it must be My Neighbor Totoro.

The protagonists of this puzzle bag are the "Dust Bunnies" . These black little coal balls with cute eyes have appeared in "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Spirited Away". It is said that only children with pure hearts can see them. The mysterious character setting adds a touch of fairy tale atmosphere to the bag.

· Leather inlay craftsmanship·

LOEWE, which pays attention to craftsmanship, does not simply print patterns on bags, but "captures" the dust spirits through leather marquetry , so that the elusive little coal balls can no longer escape from your bag.

LOEWE has been using leather inlay technology to make handbags since 2016. First, leathers of different colors and textures are cut into the required pattern pieces by laser, and then assembled by craftsmen. The whole process is like assembling a puzzle, and it is also necessary to ensure that the thickness of each piece of leather is the same, so that the inlaid pattern is flat and fits.

The black part gathered on the side of the bag is achieved through a dyeing process, while the several small frizzy coal balls floating on the front are made using a leather inlay process, using two different textures of calfskin, grain and suede , to make the dust elves more three-dimensional and vivid.

· How do I carry this bag? ·

Just like its name, the Puzzle handbag has a clever appearance like a puzzle. The soft bag body can be folded to unlock N kinds of styles, allowing it to be carried in multiple ways, such as by hand, sideways, crossbody, and in the hand .

The bag is equipped with a short handle and a detachable and adjustable leather shoulder strap to meet different styling needs. The neutral color and bag shape can be worn by both boys and girls.

What can this bag hold?

The Puzzle bag's zipper is hidden under the top flap, allowing the bag's geometric lines to be fully revealed. The flap is discreetly embossed with an Anagram logo.

This collaboration model also comes with a LOEWE × STUDIO GHIBLI joint leather label , and the mascot Totoro also appears. Even with a small size of 24×16.5×10.5cm , the capacity of the Puzzle handbag is already very practical. We put an iPhone X, a notebook, a pen, a card holder, tissues, keys, a lipstick, a brooch, perfume and other items in the bag. It is small and light to carry with you when you go out. Although it is a joint animation, the combination of caramel and black does not make people feel young at all, and the intrusion of dust elves makes this bag full of innocence and childishness.
