Once considered a different echelon from the most notable designer bag brands, Loewe now holds one of the top spots in the fashion world, which is thoroughly deserved. With prices rising, what we expect, as consumers, has also risen, and one brand that produces aesthetically delightful designs while crafting with quality materials and construction is Loewe.
While most of us know the Puzzle Bag best and have become Squeeze fans (this bag just hit the site again after months of being sold out), the family of bags from Loewe that I find most alluring may be the Flamenco family.
Though Creative Director Jonathan Anderson redesigned the Flamenco in 2015, it was first launched in the 1980s. The name is derived from the Flamenco skirt effect, when knots on either side are pulled to close the bag.
The leather panels show no edges, so this bag is seamlessly clean and elegant.
Newest Flamenco
In fact, the Flamenco collection is one that I have raved about for everyone, from my mom, who carries hers for everything from casual daily use in addition as her wedding guest accessory companion, to fellow bag fanatics who ask me about a great crossbody bag that is both luxurious and casual.
The newest addition to the iconic Flamenco family was released today. This bag, aptly named the Loewe Flamenco Purse, rounds out a new generation of bags in this cornerstone family.
Fresh New Details
What makes this bag? First, the supple nappa lambskin looks as inviting as it actually feels.
I find the leather incredibly thick yet malleable and soft to the touch. The knots on either drawstring closure are defining elements of the Flameco line, and this bag has that. It allows for the ruched top closure, also a signature of the family of bags.
One new standout element is the detachable and adjustable leather shoulder strap and a leather-woven donut chain with a jewel-like Anagram engraved Pebble.
If this feels familiar, it is. The quickly beloved Squeeze bag has a similar donut chain and Pebble finishing touch that characterizes the bag (however, the Squeeze chain strap features metal only, not leather-woven details).
Because of the adjustability of the strap, this bag can be worn over the shoulder, carried as a clutch, or slung crossbody.
There are two sizes, medium and mini, and four seasonal colors: Emerald Green, Dark Burgundy, Sahara, and Black. If you are looking for a new bag to your collection that checks many boxes, this new rendition may suit you perfectly.
