I tried the Flamenco last month and thought I would like it more than I did. The large one did not look right on me at all; I think with a bag insert it would’ve looked more appealing for a more structured look. The regular flamenco clutch was a great size though and the way it looked slouchy was more appealing to me; the only issue I have with it was how thin the straps were. I almost made the purchase but I had to stop myself because I already have two bucket bags that would work well for the summer months.

I actually quite like the large flamenco and the way it sits on me, but I think it's a really large bag and holds too much if you know what I mean. Also eyeing the smaller size (especially the mermaid print one currently in the Paula's Ibiza collection), but similarly not a fan of the thin strap. Saw a yellow python one online recently and that looks amazing!
I bought the regular sized Flamenco after admiring the mini for a year. After buying the Bottega Loop and Celine Trio I couldn’t justify another small crossbody. But the medium size felt so delicious carried as a clutch and I found it to be even more appealing than the Bottega pouch.
However. I will probably never wear it as a crossbody or with the strap as I feel like it looks so dumpy and saggy! Shame it isn’t as versatile as I’d like it to be. In the market for a shoulder bag now…

No, don’t say that. You’re going to make me want to try the bag again and convince myself I need it in my collection
If I were to ever get that bag, I think I’d need at least a bottom insert so it doesn’t sag and ends up looking too frumpy.The one in your pics is the regular size one too right? You look great rocking the bag as a clutch!
Found a couple of photos my partner took of me that day when we were in the store:

I feel the same way, I can’t stand the sag. Wish there was a way to prevent it.
That size looks great on you and I like the thicker straps too compared to the ones on the regular flamenco clutch. I think the larger size looks better with a little more structure as shown in your photos.
I think a bag insert would do the trick: thicker felt to line the bottom of the bag and a thinner one for the sides. I don’t know, I’m just weird in that I really like structured bags.
Yes, I think this bag definitely needs an insert if carried crossbody or as a shoulder bag.
Does anyone have this in XL? I really want to use it as a work bag, overnight bag, and gym bag. What are your thoughts on it? Unfortunately the one I ordered from Vestiaire is a fake so I can't tell what the quality is like 
Oh no! That sucks. Did Vestiaire catch that it's a fake or they sent it to you?Does anyone have this in XL? I really want to use it as a work bag, overnight bag, and gym bag.

We have the Herbarium XL (the one with a jacquard exterior). It's a puddle of a bag, holds A LOT but because it's really only viable as a shoulder bag, you can't really carry that much without overloading your shoulder (carrying straps aren't exactly broad). I've carried a laptop and other work items in it once and it does fairly well. It almost feels like it would work better as a work bag if there was some internal organization, so we are thinking of getting a bag organizer for it. Quality-wise, it's impeccable, the leather parts of the bag are supple and lovely, and again a testament to the amazing leather and worksmanship of Loewe.
Hey guys, what do u think is a good charm to add to my blush flamenco for a pop of interest to an otherwise plain bag? It would be my first Loewe charm as I’m not much of a charm person. Any recommendations would help! Thanks!
