The Loewe PASEO

[Carlygold]

I might be a bit late here, but I think the Flamenco looks great on you! Especially in the green. After that, I thought the Paseo Satchel in black with your blazer looked wonderful. I think the Flamenco is a more casual look - it’s also the more practical bag as I’m pretty sure it can hold more. I have the small Paseo Satchel (fairly new) and the Small Flamenco (a few years old now) and I love them both! To me, the Paseo is the more versatile “look” - it can be dressed up or dressed down. I only use my Flamenco bag casually though.

Thx! Do you think the Paseo satchel can be casual? Do you use the flamenco as a clutch too?

I use the Paseo satchel casually as a grab bag. I match it with everything from jeans to business outfits. I guess I don’t plan on using it for any evening events although, in a pinch, the black might do. The Flamenco mini is actually marketed as a bag and a clutch, so I assume you can use it as both. The Flamenco bag I have is the small version though - IMO, it’s too big for a clutch. But I don’t think that’s the version you are interested in?

I think the Flamenco exhibits more individual style and confidence, while the Paseo satchel is more of a quiet style statement. Some think it’s boring, and even though I absolutely love it for me, I do understand why they would think that. When I use the Paseo satchel, I don’t think about it, I don’t worry about it, I just feel comfortable that I have a high quality bag on my shoulder that looks “right” with whatever I happen to be wearing. There is nothing boring about the Flamenco however!

I’ve received compliments on both, although I think the compliments on the Flamenco have all been with respect to the colour (a pretty slate blue). The compliments I’ve received on the Paseo satchel have been with respect to the bag itself (the padded fold in particular) and the leather. Both bags have incredible leather! Downside - a few people, when admiring the Paseo satchel, have felt inclined to touch it. I know it’s petty of me, but I don’t like people touching my bags without at least asking. Anyway, I think the Paseo satchel style shows the fantastic quality of the leather off a bit better than the Flamenco.

I just wanted to ask you about your experiences about your Paseo satchels and now you beat me to it
I' m interested about this bag very much and will have a look at it at the store in the next days.

I like this style very much, the leather seems to be wonderful, the size for me is perfect, and I think it's a very special bag, not often to see and very chic. I like bags that are not very "popular".

I'm not shure about the color, maybe the caramel or the black one. Would you say the pictures of your "caramel" correspond to reality?

Congrats to these 3 beauties!!

The black and camel (I think Loewe’s name for the colour is “Warm Desert”) would be the two most versatile colours. They are neutral and very easy to match. I’ve used both multiple times now and I really haven’t had them for that long. I think the pictures accurately show the colour, but it’s always best if you can see it in person. There is also an Emerald Green version which I think is pretty special - I already have a green bag though and I don’t use it enough to justify the purchase of another. I think I’m a touch on the conservative side, style-wise. Still, I mention it because you might want to take a look at it.

The leather feels really nice on the satchel - it might be because it’s padded, I’m not sure. It closes easily and securely… the only thing I’d point out is that some might find it doesn’t carry enough. I do not carry a wallet, just a card holder, so I’m fine with the limited space - but I could see how someone who prefers a wallet might find it a touch tight.

In any event, I agree with you that it is a special bag that manages to be stylish without being loud and my experiences with it have been all positive so far!

Thank you so much! That‘s really helpful!

I’m LOLing. They touch the bag? I would be so annoyed. It’s like when people touched my baby belly without asking first and I actually think touching my bag woukd bother me more! Thx for all of the feedback. I am holding off and waiting to see if I long for either. The flamenco is more “me” in that it’s casual and I would get a great color but the bag itself is ok. The paseo is beautiful IMO and not boring at all, just far more sophisticated and I am not sure I am sophisticated lol. It’s funny I keep thinking I can only wear it in the evening out for dinner vs day with jeans. BUT that being said I also wear sweats a lot and not sure that would work at all. Flamenco definitely.

Sounds like plan! I didn’t hesitate much with the Paseo Satchel because I knew it was a “me” bag, but I did wait a few months on a BV bag for the same reason - to see if I would continue to long for it. I admit I haven’t used the satchel with sweats - I have run to the corner store with it wearing loungey clothes though - not sure if that counts. And yes, I was pretty irritated about the touches (happy I’m not the only one who feels that way)! If you do end up picking up one of the bags, let us know - and enjoy!
