The Loewe Flamenco

I'm actually referring to the Flamenco purse, which comes with the donut chain and leather cord strap. Here is a picture of the large purse being carried on the shoulder with the cord strap. As you can see, it's a sizeable bag (16 inches) and I'm not sure if that strap is the most comfortable once the bag is actually filled and weighty.
I have this and actually love both the straps. I carry my usual…small wallet, cosmetic pouch with make up etc. , small water bottle and key pouch. No issues with both even with just a tee.

Ah yes sorry missed that you were referring to the purse. I was told you can actually fit a laptop in it but the straps doesn't look suited to hold up such weights over time (and also your shoulder)...

Welcoming my first Loewe bag to the collection!

I was originally thinking about the puzzle, but I ended up going with the Flamenco.

It looks so much better in person- soft, squishy, and the leather feels amazing.

If you’re looking for a grey bag, this shade—Shell Grey—is perfect.🩶

Trying out the Paula’s Ibiza tomato charm on my lemon lime flamenco. Oh lord 😍

OMG, I LOVE IT. The green of the bag and the tomato are PERFECTION.
I was debating between all the tomatoes (vine, leather, and neck pouch), and ended up getting the neck pouch. I think it’s a work of art…but it’s not the squishy goodness that this one is. It’s kind of rigid, which I get, makes sense, but I’m not sure I LOVE it. Thoughts on this calfskin one? Squishy? I hesitated on it because on the website the pics made it look a little “wrinkly” - which I knew would bother my slightly OCD brain. Haha.
Either way, enjoy it! It’s looks spectacular as you've styled it!
 
Speaking of tomato vines, haha, anyone heard anything about another Paula’s drop? Loewe/Jonathan teased on Instagram a few months back this table FULL of charms, and a few have yet to be released. Strawberries and blackberries on vines, etc. Tomato pouches in different colors - which I imagine might just be prototypes. But hopefully they release a little more fun.

Thank you! 🙏

There’s a bit of chat about the tomato charms over on the Paula’s thread, but the general takeaway is that this charm is actually hard and overlayed with leather, so not a squishy ball.

Mine does have some wrinkling that put me off at first, so I ordered a second charm to compare, and whilst it had less wrinkles, the shape was too uniform and not as dynamic as this one imo. So I can live with a few wrinkles… it’s only in the creases too, the main parts of the leather are soft and smooth.

I was tempted by the vine charm but someone on another thread said the beads looked like quails eggs and I can’t unsee it. Plus I imagine all the beads just clacking together when you walk, but I could be wrong! Best to choose a charm via SA or instore if you can I think.

Oh interesting! So they're considering them FW. If you could share pics that would be awesome.

I was just thinking, Jonathan Anderson must have left them quite an unreleased catalog of goodies to get through if the new directors aren't even debuting a collection until October - meaning it won't hit shelves until FW 2026 . (Unless the in-house design team is taking over in the interim.) Curious to see both what JA ends his tenure with, and what the new boys give us.

Here are photos I took of some of the charms that were presented in the exhibition :)
thanks for those! Nice to see how they hang on bags. I just got the Olive charm and love the “toothpick” design format. The strawberry in the same design threw me for a loop. I wasn’t expecting it. Perfect for smaller bags where the leather ones would hang super low. But the leather vines…. So perfect. Ugh
