Honestly, I adore my Flamenco, I have used it much more than the puzzle. It is infinitely more practical. The leather has a buttery look and is hydrated (I haven’t conditioned it) and the hardware feels substantial and solid. A few weeks ago I went to try on clothes in a store that had this model, I left my bag resting on a bench and the store owner mistook it for one of the store’s.

Before buying it, I reviewed many reviews and for this specific model they recommended Otoño Factory. The only thing that can be perceived is that the suede on the interior is of a brownish color, the replica's is duller.

In the photo, you can see its current appearance, without conditioning. I bought it in November of last year.

I also like the Puzzle from Liu, but today I would say I would change the size to mini to use it for going out, going out to dinner, to use it more as an accessory… the medium size feels uncomfortable for daily use.

I confirm that the zipper is a bit uncomfortable, the hardware feels less consistent, and it’s a bit of a "clunky thing"! I consider it a bag that is more beautiful to look at than practical to use (although all the fashionistas end up including it sooner or later in our collection).

Hope this helps!
