The Loewe Basket

[Greentea]

I saw this at Neimans, and while it looks like great quality, your stuff is really out there for everyone to see. I have it on a wishlist and wouldn't turn it down if someone gifted it to me, but I'm a bit hard pressed to think about anything besides farmer's market shopping or pool items I would feel comfortable having out like that.

I stuff the drawstring dust bag in mine and it makes it hold more, hides your stuff, and makes a cute liner

Mine is completely stable. I looked at a few and chose one that stood up well. I’ve used it in a market on holiday to buy bread, fruit and vegetables etc. It holds lots. Here it is ready to go on holiday this weekend.

Thank you so much for responding! No Loewe close to me so your comments are super helpful in making decisions on my next item. I am seriously addicted!

That is brilliant!

A pleasure! My recommendation is to order it from more than one place and keep the one you love the best. Mine is the larger size but they vary quite a bit so it’s smaller than some of them. I like the fact it’s taller but still got a narrower top opening than some of the large size had. I wanted it to work as carry in and some were just too big. Needs to fit in all my beach or pool gear!

Great suggestion! Thank you!

Great suggestion! Thank you!

Here she is doing her best work on a winter sun holiday. A day by the sea!

Any updates on how people’s basket bags are holding up? I just bought the raffia pochette, but pretty concerned about keeping it as the aftercare guide says Loewe does NOT fix raffia/basket items and once they are damaged, that’s it and good luck.
Really torn on if it’s worth it to keep, hoping it’s usable for many many years and not 1-2.

Also - does the raffia/straw rub against anyone’s clothing and damage the clothes? Or is it fine? Heard mixed things about straw bags

Mine doesn’t rub. I’ve only had it 3 months and so far it’s perfect! I do use my dust bag as a liner which helps protect the interior.

I bit the bullet and bought the small!

I inspected several closely for a good tight weave and size before picking one as they were quite different. Mine is wearing well.

Ooo, how exciting! I can’t wait to see photos.

OOh we are twins! The small has been so fun!

Please post pics when it arrives! I'm starting to seriously eye up the small (even though we're heading into winter in Aus)
