Oh no! That sucks. Did Vestiaire catch that it's a fake or they sent it to you?

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.
Unfortunately they sent it to me. I would have to fight them and prove that the "MADE IN SPAIN" by the serial number is how I caught that it was fake, and I also have an authentication certificate. I am hoping that they will refund me or I will dispute it with PayPal as I do not want them to re-list the item under my name and wait for someone to purchase that fake item from me. And thank you so much for your insight! It sounds absolutely lovely. I called Loewe and asked if they would re-stock the black on the website and the lady said she was unsure if it would get re-stocked. I am also eyeing the Large size but I don't feel like it would work as well as a gym or overnight bag.
 
I ordered the mini Flamenco, good size..fits all my essentials. Love the color, bit dissapointed that the leather doesn’t feel soft.
Added 2 pictures, one with Hermès Carmen keyring and one without.

It’s such a beautiful color! Is the mini pretty comparable in size compared to the small puzzle?
 
Got the regular size flamenco last week but have only brought it out once. It was only after purchase that I suddenly remembered asking the SA about color transfer for warm sands color. She told me to avoid all denims but erm... I wear denims often? I have no issue with color run when washing all my jeans so far though. Does anyone have any color transfer issue with warm sand color?

I just got my flamenco Bag in May and ive only worn it out a handful of times and I noticed that my denim has started to stain my bag! I asked the SA about denim transfer and she assured me it wouldn't be an issue so I'm really disappointed. I love my denim but I guess I won't be able to wear it anymore with this bag.
 
Just got the medium flamenco Bag and I'm in love with it! I'd been eyeing it for a year and finally made the jump to get it while on a trip to NYC. The SA pulled out the new straps to try on and I was sold.

Only thing I'm disappointed in is that I've only worn the bag a few times and my denim has started to transfer. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for good leather protectors? PXL_20220527_224922623.jpgPXL_20220527_224435129.jpg

Oh dear. I have not been wearing it much with denim till now. Perhaps just one or two times but with very light colored denim. Looks like I have to be very wary of matching clothes with the bag...

Love the combination of lime bag with this jacquard strap. Is this the avocado shoulder strap or another colour?
 
I love this color! I’m eyeing the new prune color that has been released for fall. How much can you fit into this bag without it getting uncomfortable on your shoulder, or when worn crossbody? I wish the strap wasn’t so thin.
Sorry, totally forgot about this! I don't pack it full so no problem with the strap (I prefer thin straps on my crossbody bags).
