Loewe Vintage Shoulder Bag in Textured Brown Leather

This beautiful texture leather Loewe shoulder bag is the newest arrival in my studio. The Loewe bags that feature this sort of textured leather date back to around the early 2000s, so this bag has clearly been very well looked after! When I first received it I was really impressed with its condition - it looks like it might only have been used once or twice, and only demonstrates light signs of wear. 

The bag has a lovely domed shape with a structured design, so it can stand up unaided when placed on the ground. To open the bag there are two zips, and the bag can be unzipped almost the whole way down (see the picture below) making it very easy to access. In fact, the way the bag is able to open is quite reminiscent of Louis Vuitton's Alma design.

The strap drop is a great length, and the straps fit onto my shoulder without a problem. Importantly, the straps aren't rigid so not only are they comfortable but they also won't slip off your shoulder as you're carrying the bag. The straps are design to fold down onto either side of the bag when it isn't in use, this means that the straps don't get in your way when you're trying to access your bag and it also makes the bag easier to store. This is all very good, functional design from Loewe - not only is the bag a beautiful shape in a lovely leather, but it's also really practical to use. 

It goes without saying that if you want to buy a Loewe bag brand new 'off the shelf' then you have to expect to pay quite a lot.
