Does anyone have the mini flamenco in chocolate? Currently lusting after it and would love to see the color if anyone has it!

I don’t have it, but have seen it in the store and it’s gorgeous! it really reminded me of a block of yummy chocolate! Very rich dark brown. Awesome color for fall.
Thanks! I actually went to try it on yesterday and I think I’m in love! Thinking about picking this up for fall. Does anyone know if this bag would see any discounts of any sort in the near future? Trying to decide whether or not I should hold off for Black Friday. Or pick it up in Europe next summer (Idk if I can wait that long but it’s an option)
I haven’t seen solid colored flamenco on sale before. they tend to sell out during the season, never to be seen again. If u really like it, I wouldn’t wait.
Question to Flamenco owners-- how's your bottom corners wear and tear? I fear that over time, this area would get the most rubbing and the color will start to wear off... Any tips to prevent that? Maybe constantly conditioning so it doesn't dry out???
I don’t think it’ll be marked down soon so your best bet would be buying it at Bergdorf’s via Ratuken (15% cash back)
I've only seen the puffers and the different ones (different matterials and patterns) going on sale and women's loewe bags rarely seem to be included in discounts. Sometimes on 24s and matches If its a seasonal colour I wouldn't wait till next summer because I doubt that exact colour would still be available unless your flexible on the colour but you said you've fallen in love with the colour
I'm also considering this bag but haven't seen the current version in person when you tried it on how difficult was it to open/close? I recently ordered a preloved older version the one with the tassels I the 2013 version or maybe older. I had to send it back because it was so difficult to open the magnetic paper but also not very secure because you could get your hand down either side when it was closed. I like mums bags to be secure but easy enough for me to open
Oooh good call! I see 15% cash back on neiman and I have a 15% off code
. Good point. I really do love the color! The magnet is decently strong but not difficult to open/close, so I think it's pretty secure. That being said though, I tried the mini and it's probably too small to slide a hand down the side, especially if you have the strings pulled. Hope that helps!
I recently bought one from bergdorfs and after the 15% discount and 15% rakuten cash back the price of the mini flamenco is only about $100 more than what I would have paid in euros after getting back 12% in VAT. We’re going to Spain next summer so I was going to wait but decided to go ahead and buy a second one now because I’m a bit impatient.Oooh good call! I see 15% cash back on neiman and I have a 15% off code

That brown color is so beautiful and it really does remind me of a smooth dark chocolate. The subtle sheen is gorgeous on the dark colored flamencos. Enjoy!
That’s the exact dilemma I had! But the 15% off plus 15% cash back is a pretty beast deal! What colors do you have it in??
I own the mini Flamenco in Ash Grey (which is like a suuuper pale light mint color), and wore it during the summer--also brought with me while traveling overseas. So far, no issues with color transfer at all! I'm careful to only wear it with light-colored tops, and don't wear any dark or black denim with it. Which isn't a huge problem, because the color looks better worn with lighter colors anyways
I highly recommend the mini Flamenco! I have two and am in love with both!Here is my flamenco (medium? Regular size?) in warm dessert with the donut chain - love the chain to elevate the look so I can still bring it out at night when I want to carry a bit more!
I have a mini flamenco too and can fit quite a lot in but am worried sometimes that if I continue to do so, the base of the bag will stretch out and sag. @atlantique have you had any experience of this/ any advice please?
