I am born in Bilbo, North of Spain, a city with a huge
Loewe shop that were closed a few years ago. I love the Loewe Amazona handbag since I could remember, it is the best handbag that attracted my attention as young kid. But then when I started collecting handbag it was not in my priority list. It was there, I thought, I could always go and buy one. It was like something accessible and therefore I put my focus on the difficult ones, the Kelly, and others.
The covid time has made my think about it and considering that there are a few pieces of the history of the handbags that are not going to be there for ever. The new releases of new model, new colors is just a question of paid for them and arrived in time but if the brand decided to stop the manufacture is over.
Therefore I put Amazona in my priority list and I have been looking a new Amazona 28 cm in the classic golden suede and dark brown (similar to the original design released in the 70s that was 36 cm) for months. I love that model so much that was a bit desperate to get a new one in Loewe shop or Loewe on line. However, they only offer now 28cm in a few solid colors that I do not feel resemble the spirit of the original Amazona design. The original model with 36 cm is still in the homepage but as unavailable. I have been called to Loewe in Paris and Madrid several times during the last 4-5 months to figure out if they will make it again, but they could not offer any positive answer so I gave up this week. Instead I decided to buy a puzzle just to calm my anxiety for the Amazona. It was a kind on second choice but I was in peace with my decision at the end. I went to the shop and they did not have a medium puzzle in new tan and pink that it was the only in my wish list. My first lucky event arrived just in a few days and they called me and reserved for me that version of puzzle. I went this afternoon to picked up the puzzle. I just turned my body several degrees to pay when I saw in a side shelf that they actually they had one Amazona, my wish one. It seems that it has a just-arrived today, a classic suede Amazona 28 cm that was my dream. It was a explosion of happiness after I have already accepted that I would only find it in the pre-loved market.
Therefore I finally bought my dream Loewe Amazona today and I went home to celebrate that sometimes serendipity is the only factor that could make it happen. I am a very rational and pragmatic person and I have explored all the available options and there was not any rational sign to support any longer my wait for it. However, it arrived one and I was just there in the moment and I turned and I saw it, and we could go home together. I share with you my happiness as you are the community that could understand it. I add also my pictures ( outside view and inside view, because this handbag is one of those few that are still adorable from the inside view and touch too).
Am definitely going to get the small based upon my frame size (kind of short). Not sure if that helps... Maybe you could measure the IPad and compare it against the bag size. You could potentially get the IPad in length ways and then turn it to fit ? Best of luck
