Small Basket has arrived! It was sent in a sealed box with Loewe information on the outside, inside the Farfetch shipping box. Upon opening, the Basket was inside a gauzy dust bag with the Loewe dust bag folded up inside (using this would require that the Basket go in sideways so I am using the gauzy one instead). It weighs a whopping 233 grams so extremely light. The charm likely weighs as much if not more than the Basket! The straps are very soft and you can change how they attach. I have attached them the "usual" way.

Congratulations @Addy :flowers: She's a beauty! The charm is perfection- screams summer/vacation vibes.
Do the straps fit over your shoulder? I see most people carrying it by hand but I think they look long enough?

I have this same bag and it does fit. To make it easier and less likely to slip off, I thread one strap through the other and just hoist it on my shoulder with the one outer strap.

Short setting: I can wear it over my shoulder but it is right under my armpit and I have to squish the bag against my body.
Long setting: I still have to squish the bag against my body.

IMHO, the Small Basket is hard to wear over the shoulder as its structure is fairly wide. I also do not do well with a wider shoulder strap as they tend to fall off my shoulder more than thin ones. I am just under 5' tall.

Yeah, I don't carry mine a long way like this, but it's nice in a pinch if you need to

Thank you so much @Addy for taking the time to take those photos-super helpful. I don't have a store that stocks Loewe near me so I don't have a chance to see them in person.

Hi, will like to know how your basket bags are holding up, especially those who have gotten the small squarish tote? I am so tempted to get one but concerned if it is durable. At the same time, will the fibres snag onto clothes? Thanks!

Hello there! I'd like to share my experience with this bag. I've used this for about a year and I rotate it pretty often with my other bags. The rattan has held up really well, no fibers snagging onto clothes. The shape is still structured and no distortion noticeable. I do sometimes carry this bag on the shoulder when I need to use both my hands, though, it should be noted that the opening is bulky and not meant to worn on the shoulder for long periods. I also use a drawstring bag as an insert, to keep the interior clean.

Thank you for the detailed review! I've already gotten the bag online and just waiting for the delivery to happen next week.
