The Squeeze bag
- Thread starter ramblemonkey
- Start date
Update from my post #17 here:
I purchased the small Squeeze in oak (price is $3400 in Hawaii as Loewe still honors “special Hawaii pricing” on leather goods when you buy in the boutique there, vs 3900 mainland).
Carried it on my return trip from Hawaii and on a couple more trips since then. I wore it with the squeezy handle and short drop shoulder wear, it did not slip at all and is comfortable. I also wore it as hand carry with just the handle.
crossbody wear doesn’t suit me but that’s just me.
If I had a negative to point out, and it is not really a negative depending on your SLGs to go into the bag - it’s the magnetic closure which are leather tabs with magnetic buttons that close in the middle. It is a pretty strong magnet, so if you have anything that has a metal clasp, it will suction to the tabs when bag is open which is slightly annoying. I ended up using a pouch to collect a couple of twist clasp purses I use for bits and bobs.
For insert aficionados - i could not find the right one from the many bag inserts I have (yes I was an early adopter when bag inserts became a thing). Besides, the beauty of this bag is how buttery soft it is and how it can be squishy against your body.
For those who have bought the bag, I hope you enjoy too!

I've had luck finding the squeeze in store at: Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC and Hirshleifers. Online: Net-a-porter and Bergdorf Goodman! Its one of my top favorite bags! Get one!
What color and size? I use my Evelyne all the time too and love the look of this …and seems a little more fun and dressy too
I had thought to sell mine to fashionphile, gave a ridiculously low bid. Thanks, for that, but I'll keep it. I should have mentioned, I love the bag, it's just that I have a rescue Cavelier King Charles spaniel that is going to need meds for the rest of her life for a heart condition.
Aw, bless your kind heart. I also have a rescue dog with haemangiosarcoma in his heart and spleen, yes it costs a lot. Take care. Squeeze bag is beautiful, I also want it but sold out everywhere
I purchased the squeeze bag from the Loewe store back when it launched in September. I used it on and off — probably 4 or 5 times in total.
To my dismay, I noticed today that the bag had glue/strings coming out from the seams.
I took a closer look at the entire bag, and the hardware was already tarnished — something I never saw on my other Loewe bags. For a bag that almost costs $5000, I’m utterly disappointed in the quality. Does anyone know the recourse for something like this? Will Loewe offer a refund/store credit?

This makes me nervous! Had someone get a squeeze bag for me in Asia as it is sold out everywhere and I won’t see the bag until December - which would be past the return period! What I know is Loewe has a 2 year warranty and they would repair for free- have you gone back to the store where you got it from?
I contacted my SA, and she told me we would have to open a repair case and then contact corporate for them to decide a repair or exchange.
Tbh I’m worried that something like this would happen to a replacement, so I’d rather get a refund.
