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?

I don't have any problems with sagging with my mini Flamenco. But I only have the small wallet from LOEWE, my iphone, a mini pochette from LV and my glasses in it. The bag doesn't sag at all, the bottom stays stright.

Ok thanks, that’s good to know. I did actually buy a bag insert to use to try to prevent the bottom sagging but I don’t really use it as it itself takes up too much space in the bag.

Yea, I was worried about the sag too. I currently use an extremely thin insert (made for the Bottega Veneta mini Loop bag), inside my mini Flamenco -- using it as a substitute until I find a better alternative. It's too small for the bag (doesn't fill up the entire inside) but I find that it does help prevent some sagging as long as I don't overstuff it. I also have an insert made for the mini Flamenco I purchased off Etsy, but it was way too big/stiff for it and I actually don't like it -- because it's so thick and boxy, it changes the shape of the Flamenco and lessens the "effortless"/soft look of the Flamenco. The top horizontal line of that insert can also be seen from the outside of the bag, which I don't like. Hence, the Bottega insert is more preferred for me since it's so malleable and I can still cinch the bag without the insert being seen. Hopefully someone can make a good Flamenco insert soon :)
 
I use a smaller flexible base shaper from a different bag at the bottom of my mini. It hasn't caused any damage to my flamenco. I've debated about getting a bag insert from samorga, but haven't gone through w it yet.

The mini flamenco is such an easy bag to use that I'm considering a second one, but I'd like to try on the flamenco clutch size first to see if I'd like that size or another mini.

Hi ladies, I just bought a pre-loved Medium Flamenco (in Warm Desert). I love it so much but… The older version of the shoulder strap is too long though!

Do you guys think that there’d be taller ladies keen to exchange their shorter strap with me?

Or should I just punch more holes in the strap..

for me, I would keep the original strap and buy one of the other gorgeous straps that Loewe sells.they have so many nice ones!
 
I just bought a mini flamenco in guimauve. It just arrived and the colour is quite different to what is shown on most sites its more muted mauve/lilac not a brighter pinkish purple. It looks more like I expected the light mauve to be maybe a bit darker. I tried to take photos but they don't come off true to colour. I took a picture next to my blossom puzzle to show that it's more purple than pink. I think the closest pictures to the true colour are on 24s in case anyone was considering it.

I had been debating between getting it in a brown, chocolate or oak or in something more colourful then I was sent a discount for 24s and the guimauve was included in the promo (although that might have been a mistake because loewe wasnt included the next day) and the price was already lower than everywhere else so it ended up being nearly 40% off. I'm actually really like the colour in person it seems more wearable than it does on the Loewe site

I just bought the mini flamenco in black while abroad in Spain. I had a lovely time in the shop, and was thrilled with my purchase. Upon arriving home, I noticed a tiny scratch on the front of the bag (~5mm). It’s very subtle, I only noticed it on close inspection, but I’m a bit of perfectionist. I got a great deal on the bag purchasing in Europe. Wondering if I can buff it out with leather conditioner. Any recommendations?
 
hi ladies, I bought a second-hand bag (warm desert). Seller said it was from 2020, and that’s why the strap is an older version.

Does anyone here know how the 2020 strap looks like? I tried to search online but there’s not many photos and reviews from the past. Getting pretty worried now.

Here’s a photo.

My flamenco straps look like that. I bought both this year.
