The Loewe Basket

Just wanna share my Loewe Paula’s Ibiza basket in Medium + bag insert.

The insert turned this beautiful yet impractical bag into an everyday bag that holds almost everything you need (except laptops ). I’m obsessed.

Beautiful bag, I'm struggling to decide between this and the square basket bag. Can this be worn easily on the shoulder and for a raffia bag do you think it's pretty durable?
 
Bday present from me to me she is finaly here!
It’s been on my wishlist for two years.
She is really small basket bag, but all the things that I normally carry in my daily bag fit in it, even bottle of water and small umbrella!
I thought it was stupid to buy a luxury bag made of straw. But something always brought me back to this Loewe bag. So here she is

I have the original basket bag and have been wondering if it has gone somewhat out of style. Now there are all these new styles that are more flexible and travel friendly. Does anyone share this dilemma?

I think that the style of the "older" basket bags are classic and absolutely not out of style!

The "problem" is, that the designers create new styles and models every season and stimulate desires of the customers ;-)

But yes, the new basket bag models are very nice! I will have a look at the boutique at the square basket for summer, maybe with the white leather.

Hi everyone! Would appreciate your inputs on this - I have been eyeing the Loewe Basket Bag for a while and my biggest concern is how would one pack this in a suitcase in order to carry it for vacation? Does it ruin the material?

I am primarily looking at this in terms of a vacation bag so this is a very important factor. I am also considering the new Loewe Raffia shopper bag which i think is more packable but this is the OG so it still has my heart

I just put clothes inside the basket and the dust bag around the bag. It doesn‘t get smooshed that way and is outside protected by the dust bag and was ok that way!
 
I juuuust got mine yesterday (a few hours after i replied you, i received a call from my SA telling me the bag is available!)
I also got the paula's ibiza parrot pouch to act as a bag insert and it fits better than the dustbag. More photos on the thread https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/may-2021-purchases.1042253/

May I ask you and everyone else owning this bag: how do you carry it?
Handheld yes, but is shoulder carry actually possible due to the structure?
 
Also: CHANGING THE STRAP LENGTH of the tote basket - wowsa, that’s some hard work! I was sure I’d destroy the bag trying to get the strap off because it’s brand new and the leather strap stiff.

Does anyone change the strap length regularly? I find the longer lenght more comfortable if worn on the shoulder (I’m trying my options right now ;))

The leather is very strong! I do not change it, I prefer the longer length. It’s been that way since I bought it in 2021.
