Puzzle - an accessory from Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe priced at $2,700 - is made from 40 pieces of leather that can inflate or deflate as desired.

| The Puzzle bag by Loewe - a Spanish luxury fashion house - is one of the hottest bags on the streets in 2015. With a feminine pink version, the Puzzle continues to be popular with many fashionistas this year. The idea of the Puzzle bag popped into the mind of designer Jonathan Anderson by chance. He found an old, rotten faux leather bag in the studio's archives. But Anderson did not look at its shabby appearance but instead noticed the bag's body with strange, cubist-style cracked leather lines. He told his assistant: "This will be the new trendy bag!" |
 |
| "Spanish women are quite particular about the color of their accessories," says creative director Anderson. The Puzzle bag's exterior features origami-inspired folds, allowing it to incorporate a variety of colors from one material. The idea is a perfect fit for Loewe, which specializes in leather goods. The fashion house selects, collects, and stores a wide range of leathers, from popular to rare. |
 |
| The 170-year-old house hasn’t introduced a trendy bag with a different shape since the 1980s. That’s why Anderson was so excited about the Puzzle, and he and his team went to Loewe’s Madrid workshop to cut out the sketched leather pieces. The pink color was chosen because it’s youthful and quite striking. |
 |
| Loewe is all about ready-to-wear products. So every new idea that comes out of the factory has to be viable and mass-produced. The picture shows the main design of the bag. |
 |
| Each Puzzle bag is made from 40 separate pieces of leather, cut to shape and machine-rolled flat. This gives it flexibility and prevents the leather from cracking when folded. |
 |
| A machine stamps the brand's logo onto a bag. "Loewe is a very old brand," Anderson says. "But I wanted to make it feel modern rather than retro." |
 |
| Once all the leather pieces are ready, each craftsman takes charge and completes the entire bag from start to finish. Each finished product bears the personal stamp and craftsmanship of a single craftsman. |
 |
| Each piece of different colored leather is assembled and sewn according to the design pattern to gradually create a unique shape. |
 |
| The perfection and beauty of the Puzzle bag not only comes from the original idea of the designer but also depends on the skillful hands of the craftsmen when assembling. The premium Puzzle bag can be used to be large and square, but can also be easily deflated like a clutch when needed. |
 |
| Experts check the quality on the production line before releasing the finished product to the market. Among dozens of trendy bag models with clear shapes, Loewe's soft and supple Puzzle bag becomes a "strange item" in the eyes of fashionistas. Users have a hard time finding similar models from popular brands. A Puzzle bag costs about 2,700 USD (about 60 million VND). |
 |
| With removable and adjustable straps and handles, users can wear the Puzzle bag in four different ways: cross-shoulder, backpack, hand-carried, clutch. Therefore, the target audience can range from students to working people. |
 |
| With rose quartz fashion trending, the pink Puzzle bag is the perfect accessory for fashionistas to flaunt on the street. |
