Hi all!
I am new to Loewe with my first purchase - the mini green flamenco with panda interior lining. 🐼
I'm going to be vacationing in Hawaii and was wondering if this would be a good bag to bring for my trip.
The only thing that worries me is sometimes it rains due to the tropical weather. Would this bag be okay? Also, should I worry about sand damaging it? Is it easily dented (like if I place it in my suitcase and it gets smooshed between things)?

I stay in Singapore and have used my large flamenco (the one that you can tote) as one of my work bags. It’s seen all sorts of tropical weather and doesn’t look any different from the day I received the bag. Have smooshed it into my check in and cabin luggages before as well and zero issues with that too.
However, I’m not so sure about sand - I don’t think it would really damage the bag if it’s just random sand particles but if you specifically brought it to the beach as a beach bag, perhaps there would be some abrasion to the leather?
Caveat that some TPFers have mentioned that the panda flamenco in particular seems to have a thinner leather than prior iterations of the flamenco so your mileage may vary…
Thinking about getting the Flamenco in the small (not mini) size in Bottle Green after trying it on in the SoHo store. I didn’t get a chance to try it on with the gold Donut Chain. I’m worried the small size is too big for the Donut Chain, that it will dig into my shoulder. Anyone have experience with using a Donut Chain on a Small Flamenco?
For me the golden Donut chain doesn't work with the Flamenco clutch, because the bag is too big and heavy if it's stuffed. The chain also is heavy and it hurts my shoulder too much.
I wear the gold chain only with the Mini Flamenco for diners and evenings.

I just ordered the Medium Flamenco in chocolate brown! I’m soo excited! I was a little hesitant because I was saving up and really bummed that they removed the anagram but I am excited about the thicker strap update. Does anyone have any photos of theirs in chocolate?
I ordered the bottle green flamenco and the thicker strap is perfect!! It really balances the bag. I also got the enamel donut chain in vintage Khaki and it is an exact match! I‘ll post pictures tomorrow in natural light.
I also tried it with the chunky gold chain and it was VERY squeaky!
This is STUNNING! Congrats! I love the color and the matching chain.
I have this bag on my radar. Can’t decide between the mini or standard size. I have a LV Clemence wallet, 6 key holder and mini pochette and a cell phone as my daily essentials. I can downsize my wallet if needed. Would these items work in the mini? Any advice would be appreciated.
A mini would work if you downsized your wallet. I use a mini Flamenco and can fit my 6 key holder, mini pochette, phone (iPhone 13 mini), lip glosses, and wallet (usually a cardholder or my LV Rosalie wallet) with some room to spare! I love the mini size so much that I own two!
