Does anyone own the Flamenco in silver? I want to buy my first Flamenco soon and am wondering if the silver color is suitable as an evening bag only or if it can also be worn during the day? In pictures it looks kind of matte sometimes and very shiny in others… so I am on the fence if grey would be the better color choice for me overall.

I just bought it but haven't used it yet, it's pretty matte which why I loved it

An unexpected addition to my collection. Mini flamenco in lemon lime. The colour is such a chameleon- I am in LOVE 😍🍋🍋‍🟩

It is so gorgeous!! I wanted to buy it in the exact same color, but it was the weirdest thing even the sale assistants couldn't believe - the minis I tried all had different strap lengths (at max length). I went in to buy a mauve color, fell in love with the lime, but the lime was so short cross body that it hit above my hip. Orange was only slightly longer. I left with the original mauve I'd wanted:-) because it was the only one I tried that hit right cross body. The difference in the strap length was unbelievable! All shop assistants came to look and compare :-) Guess it is the handmade nature of those bags. I'm so glad I waited with the purchase until I went to a country with a Loewe boutique as I hate returns...

Thank you! And how crazy about the strap lengths, you would never think it. I'm so glad you got the mauve you wanted, it sounds gorgeous. The only thing about the lime is styling - it's a bit more statement more sure. But it seems to pair well with the outfits I've tried so far, so hopefully I will get the wear out of it. How do you find styling the mauve?

I wear it with everything, mostly use it for concerts/operas etc., but also used it on vacation and grocery shopping. It is quite 'calm,' a beautiful shade of lilac. But I'm also someone who clashes EVERY print and especially every color in the rainbow, so anything as gorgeous as your lime or any other vivid color is not going to be a problem for me. The orange-y red they had was also amazing, but the lime had a special something :-) I'm sure you'll get many uses out of it! If your wardrobe is more subdued, then a splash of such amazing color is going to be that wow factor we all want. And it's going to brighten up dreary winter months, and of course if the perfect color for summer. Try it with pink, it's a jaw dropping combination:-)

Joining the flamenco club with a mini in warm desert. I also bought the gold donut chain, so I can switch up the look a bit. I'll prob use the leather crossbody strap most of the time though. I love how much this mini can hold!

And in case anyone is curious, I compared warm desert against BV caramel. It's very close, but a bit warmer than BV.

View attachment 5762421Can you attach both the donut chain and leather strap at the same time? Or is there only room for 1 strap for the old strap loop design?
