“I am completely obsessed with Loewe’s leather bags in particular, because of how discreet they are. I’ve never been one for big logos or styles that scream designer; I prefer bags that have that timeless appeal as well as originality. Over the last couple of years, Loewe has created a collection that offers exactly that.”
“I love that, on many of Loewe’s styles, you really have to search for the logo. The truth of Loewe bags is that if you know, you just know. They’re designed with a woman’s lifestyle in mind. This one, the large Flamenco Clutch, is spacious, has drawstrings so you can close it, and I chose it in tan because it’s a seasonless colour that will work with everything in my wardrobe. It will also retain its value – an important factor to consider – and I know I’ll want to wear it forever.”
“I only buy black handbags because that’s what works best with my wardrobe. The Paseo, a new style from Loewe, is so incredibly chic and understated, it will go with and elevate everything, from tailoring, knitwear and slip dresses to my everyday jeans, blazer and tees.”
“I love the unusual, modern shape and the versatility of the structured top handles, which will work well with elegant workwear and evening looks, while the removable long strap means I can wear it crossbody for those more relaxed weekend moments. The medium size is a great day-to-night option as it’s roomy enough to hold quite a bit for day, but still maintains its beautiful shape with less in it for after dark. The soft nappa leather is the ultimate in quiet luxury – this bag is sure to become a future classic.”
“I've lusted over Loewe bags for a while now. It was the iconic Puzzle bag that piqued my interest and, ever since, their styles have always been at the top of my wish list. When it comes to accessories, I look for investment pieces that I know I’ll love forever. I seek versatility, so I lean towards black leather as it’s hardy and trans-seasonal.”
“The Puzzle Hobo bag is the newest take on the classic Puzzle style - which has fast become a modern-day classic. I love the thick single shoulder strap and overall it’s a cleaner, more minimal style than the original and feels slightly more nostalgic with its simple 90's spin. I'll wear this with everything from tailoring to a summer dress with chunky sandals, season-after-season.”
“What I love about the raffia Font Tote is that it is the true definition of a city basket. The logo, the structured shape… it gives off a formal city-living vibe, but works equally as well at the beach. It also fits everything in without being too cumbersome or heavy – practicality is always key when considering an investment purchase like a bag. It’s very chic, but has a little extra something about it.”
“It comes in three different sizes – personally, I like the medium as it can double up as an evening or day bag. But equally, the large is great as it can be a great beach or travel bag. I love the black colourway as it won’t show dirt as easily – something you need to think about when it’s a piece you’re going to use for a long time. However, there is also ochre with white writing, and a beautiful green shade with navy writing, if you already have enough natural-coloured baskets in your summer wardrobe.”
