A: Yes. This is a vintage example from Loewe's iconic Amazona line, known for its structured top-handle silhouette, zip-top opening and padlock detail. Vintage Amazona bags are especially loved for their timeless shape and practical everyday feel.

Q: Is the padlock just decorative?

Q: How should I care for a vintage canvas and leather Amazona bag?
A: Store it in its dust bag, lightly stuffed so it keeps its shape, and avoid overfilling. Keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, rain, oils, perfumes and cosmetics. If it gets damp, blot gently with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally at room temperature. For older canvas and leather, gentle handling is best.
