Yay for a happy ending! So glad you got it sorted ☺️Supercute combo! 😍 The hamsters are just too cute!
I finally resolved my whale problem. I got a new one with strap now and also got me one of the anagram keychains with the octopus as I love octopus things! It is pretty heavy for such a small keychain. Love that weight, though.
Thank you for everybody who helped pointing out where there are still whales available. 😘😘😘
2-3 day ago I also saw that Loewe had a restock, but it is sold out again.
Mytheresa was very apologetic and also tried contacting Loewe or would have been willing to discuss a discount if they failed to get a strap, but they haven’t managed to find a solution yet. Communication with the client services was very good though. I can‘t complain there at all. But as there is still not solution and I found a complete one, I sent it back now, even if I feel a bit sorry for the MyTheresa team as they were really invested to help.
Now I can finally use it. 😄 Can‘t wait to shock people with funny bags. This is also easier to take out than the lemur with its fur. I am always a bit weary of not smearing something into that fur…
Thank you, dearie! 😘 Actually not that I would notice. The graining was about the same, and the belly as soft. Also the shape how it was stitches was about the same. I haven‘t compared them side by side though as I had the MyTheresa one already packed up.yay i’m so glad you got it all sorted @fettfleck ! was there variation in the bag you repurchased?
they finally processed my returns for both whale bags last week and i see it currently shows as in stock on loewe.com rn!View attachment 6097362
I'm debating on keeping my whale bag. It's a bit hard to get into and out of due to the shape and the zipper being not that smooth due to the curve. What made you ultimately decide to return both? Did you keep the charm? What fits in the little charm? I saw it's on farfetch now and am debating getting that instead.yay i’m so glad you got it all sorted @fettfleck ! was there variation in the bag you repurchased?

You did not keep one of the larger whale bags, only the coin purse?
Ty for sharing! Do you think cards would fit inside? I had the same concerns and returned the whale bag, I don't know if I'd get the cost per wear for it with my current lifestyle. If I miss it enough I may re-buy it in the future or on bergdorf/etc. I did take a chance on the whale coin charm on farfetch, I think there's a chance it comes out wonky too lol. I will report back.i actually returned all the whale bags and coin charm T_T i'm a bit sad and i do feel like i might regret my decision lol but i definitely want to use my bags and i just didnt realistically see myself using it often enough to keep it. i ended up returning the coin purse i had bc i felt like the quality was off/the stitching uneven in the one i got and there wasn't one to replace with.
@_jlv the coin charm definitely doesnt hold much, maybe you could use it as a airpods holder and small lip balm? the zipper on the charm felt similar to the bag btw but maybe it wont be as bothersome since it's shorter. here's a photo of the coin purse w/ smiski for size reference (if you're familiar)

i cant recall exactly but i dont think it would fit a credit card flatly (against the belly) if that makes sense. MAYBE diagonally? but tbh i'm not certain. maybe @Tarochan can chime in?Ty for sharing! Do you think cards would fit inside?

Haha yeah that was my issue with the bag too… was really struggling and the only way I made it work having it shoulder slung instead of crossbody.Hm, wearing it and not creating a dead fish situation is not so easy. 😂 It is so cute though…

I like it most hand carried, but I guess for transport it just now has to hang how it hangs. 😅Haha yeah that was my issue with the bag too… was really struggling and the only way I made it work having it shoulder slung instead of crossbody.
The EU website has it up now!Thanks for this info! I’m going to keep an eye out for it. (The CA also told me it was shearling, which I was uncertain about as the texture looks different.)
I just saw this in store and I love it! I totally want this in grey! My store just go them today, not the orange one yet.
I feel the same! I love the green and how fluffy it looks on the website😍 but it feels really expensive, especially as it wouldn't be an everyday bag. But I would love to read your impressions of it irl, unfortunately Loewe is the only luxury brand without a store in my city😫My nearest Loewe has the green one in stock, according to the website. Might make a weekend trip! I was wondering what it was made of, as the website just says “knit” (knit what?!). For the price I feel like I should get a regular, larger flamenco in leather … but it’s so fluffy and green. 🥹
