These would surely be my last purchases from this collection (time to start saving for next year's collection! And travelling again!) but I really much prefer the non mohair winter products in the collection in terms of wear comfort. The embroidery is quite well done too and zero shedding from these! Now to decide whether to return both mohair scarves that I got too - really too many scarves for someone living in a tropical climate!

I also never understand the nanobags, but I guess they are just more a jewelry piece than actual bag. I mean if you even cannot fit a phone in there, it really is pretty useless.

The last Loewe store I was in had the special wooden box with the five nano bags in (puzzle, flamenco, gate, hammock and balloon) - incredibly adorable (although with a less adorable price tag, Google is telling me 7650 USD) but yes, they'd be like giant necklaces for me! I am also in love with this tiny winged elephant pouch but not only does it not fit a phone, it barely fits cards either! (I think you might be able to squeeze a couple in without a case.)

This is honestly one of my favourite pieces in the whole collection because the way Aogaeru was integrated into the design of the bag is just *chef's kiss. I was really quite tempted to get it but only one piece seemed to have come into Singapore throughout (bought by a Japanese lady during the preview we had), and it really is a challenging bag for me to style (as a guy) and I didn't want it to end up being a white elephant. I much preferred this design over the soot sprite one (which I felt just worked better on the puzzles)!! Congrats on getting it!

I still can't believe I got it so easily in the end! I don't really have anything it goes with but I wear a lot of colours and like whimsical and quirky things so it always felt like this was the one for me. And yes, it was the arms that sold it for me. It just works so perfectly with the original design of the flamenco. I'm sure whoever came up with that idea was like YES, this is it!

Are you saying you've purchased three woollen scarves to brave the harsh climate of, um, Singapore? :lol: You definitely need to travel to make use of them! I wonder if I would have bought everything if it weren't for the pandemic - I used to travel four times a year but the quarantine restrictions combined with my job have made it basically impossible to leave Hong Kong for the last two years, and my travel budget seems to have been diverted to expensive handicrafts and luxury goods. Oops ...

(Personally, I have found the Loewe mohair scarves I have touched - the white suswatari one and a regular stripy one - very scratchy, but I think I'm very sensitive to wool so not a good person to ask. I can always tell if clothes have even a small amount of wool in them and haven't worn any since I was a teenager and scored a whole upper body rash from a jumper worn over a cotton top ...)

Actually I'm about the same as you - I've not purchased luxury products for the last 8-10 years prior to the pandemic, but the pandemic changed my spending patterns quite drastically. Haha.

I didn't intend to get so many scarves because I can only use them overseas, but FOMO got to the better of me for the two mohair ones when I was really only eyeing the grey susuwatari one from the get go. I'm returning Otori-Sama for sure but rather undecided about the yellow one... It's really cute but I still can't get used to the mohair stuff...

The Chihiro hammock has grown on me too, so it's a good thing (for my bank account ...) it's out of stock! Although I tried a regular design in the shop and had mixed feelings - I love it in general but I'm not sure I love it on me. It looks great hand held with the 'flaps' out, but I liked it less with sides tucked in and the shoulder strap on, which is how I'd be more likely to carry it.

I did like the size though. Loewe's 'small' is not that small, which is good for someone like me. I'm a large person and I always carry a lot; YouTubers are often these tiny models going over how many lipsticks fit in their nanobags and I'm like OK but can I bring my book? :lol: Even though the frog flamenco is a "mini clutch" I can still fit a surprising amount in it:

Agreed with above - THIS frog flamenco was to me the most brilliant use of design in this collection. (It didn't make sense to me to have Aogearu on the Amazona, but this? Amazing.)

The Chihiro hammock I loved from the beginning but acknowledge that it is quite a design to carry - gotta wear it with confidence!!! Will post some photos tmrw...

Finally got a response about the peeling star on my mini soot puzzle.

Loewe offered to repair the peeling star, they scheduled a UPS pick up without my response or setting up a time.

Before I agree to repair a brand new bag I wanted an estimate on how long it would take. Weeks? 1-3 months? They can’t say. Also insinuated that I’m the only one with this quality issue. In this forum alone, others are experiencing the same issue with the stars peeling.

My worry is the repair takes months. They send it back to me, and the other stars begin to peel off.

Oh you got the best sleeve! This is why I'm keeping my overpriced Chihiro t-shirt; I just love the pink flowers.

The bag looks great (also excited to see some real life photos from the Chihiro hammock owner(s)!). I think this is the best size for a Kaonashi hammock - I did actually see the larger one in person but I think the image/bag ratio works better on this one.

I can't believe I am still posting more items even almost 2 months since the launch. :) But here are the Haku fleece blanket and Chihiro blanket I just received. The Chihiro 'cotton' blanket is so much more substantial in person than how it looks like online. Both can definitely be pieces that keep one warm during winter days. :heart:
