I got the honeycomb one recently with a black flower charm
I also prefer the square shape basket bag, the other one seems floppy which would definitely annoy me
gorgeous!!!
it's been only 4 days of using the basket bag and the glazing on the handles have already peeled off.........
this is not the first time i have issues with Loewe's glazing.
I peeled off the glazing, and it doesn't seem too noticeable anyway.
while i'm not pleased with having to peel off the glazing by myself (especially only having the bag for 4 days), i'm still keeping it anyway because it was quite difficult to get this bag.
Does anyone else also have problems with this? Will you return it? (Or email Loewe and tell them to fix their glazing problems)

The glazing on the curved part of my Anton backpack has also cracked at all the curve points but since it's pre-owned I haven't bothered to bring it in. Also not that obvious honestly. But a brand new bag like yours I would definitely feedback to the boutique at the very least...
I just purchased the small Square Basket Bag. Thank you so much for starting this thread! I wasn't sure if it's a good idea to purchase this bag, but you convinced me here. 
I still feel a bit on splurge spending almost 500 euro for non-leather bag, but I guess Loewe basket bags never go out of style so it's a good investment.

I’m also considering these basket bags but I’d be grateful for feedback as to whether any of them are packable? Are the larger non square bags pliable enough to put on top of clothes in a suitcase and zip up or will that destroy the bag? My ideal bag would be a raffia or straw bag that is packable if I don’t feel like carrying it. There are small cross body raffia or straw bags but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the basket bags. Unfortunately I won’t have a chance to try it out myself for a couple more weeks.
Thanks very much!

Hi! I can’t speak from personal experience because I actually purchased the square basket bag and not the less structured one... but I have watched a lot of YT videos/reviews from people who have had the one you’re considering for 2+ years and they’ve said the quality is excellent and it is easily packable/maintains its shape. There are a lot of YT videos on this bag so I would recommend starting there if you haven’t already done so!
Hopefully others can chime in!
Thanks for the reply - I will look up on YouTube. The various basket bags are lovely and I’m hoping to find one that’s versatile and practical for the day we are all able to travel again. The anagram basket bag looks a bit more pliable to me too and I’ve got my eye on it!
I have the classic basket bag in medium and love it!!! A few tips:
1. There is no lining in the bag so I use the dustbag on the inside to protect the bag.
2. Go in store to purchase the bag - don't do it online. The bags all vary in shape and even the leather can vary as they are hand made. I had about 3 different medium bags to pick from in the store. Two of them were a really strange shape and the third one was perfect.
3. I love the classic basket bag but you have to be gentle with it. I took it away on a trip and some of the weaving has come unstuck.

For those owning both Neverfull MM and Loewe medium basket and looking for some organization, Samorga Neverfull organizer fits perfectly into the basket (I have the 1.2 mm thick felt version):

Like you I was going back and forth on these too . Try and get to a store if you can , the square baskets are really small and a bit of a snug fit on the shoulder although you can adjust the handle and don’t hold a lot and the basket totes have a wide base and a very open top and would work well as a beach bag but are better for hand carry and not for everyday. I opted for the cushion tote instead . I tried hard to make the basket bags work for me but was too worried about stuff falling out or hands going into my bag even with an organiser!
