Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Loewe Amazona 40? A: With approximate measurements of 28 × 40 × 15 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a 13–14‑inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, smartphone, a small cosmetics pouch, chargers and a 500 ml water bottle. Capacity varies depending on organisers and cases—please compare your items to the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Is the Amazona 40 suitable as cabin baggage? A: At 40 cm in length it sits well within the common cabin length limit used by many airlines (often around 55 cm). Its 40 × 28 × 15 cm profile also aligns with under‑seat personal‑item limits on some carriers (commonly near 40 × 30 × 15 cm). Policies differ by airline and route, so please check your carrier before you fly.
Q: Does this Amazona 40 come with a shoulder strap? A: The classic Amazona 40 is primarily a handheld Boston/doctor‑style bag. Some versions and later reissues include a detachable strap, but many vintage pieces are hand‑carry only. This specific item is a handheld model with an approximately 10 cm handle drop—please refer to Product information to see everything included with this piece.
Q: When was the Amazona introduced, and what does “40” mean? A: The Amazona debuted in 1975 and has remained a Loewe icon through multiple updates. The number generally refers to the bag’s width in centimetres, so “40” indicates a larger work/weekend size.
Q: What materials is this bag made from, and how should I care for it? A: This example is crafted in tan suede with dark brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Keep it away from direct light, heat, water, oils and cosmetics; avoid overfilling; store lightly stuffed in its dust bag; and be aware that colour transfer can occur, particularly with suede. For the suede, brush gently with a soft suede brush and consider a specialist suede protector. If it becomes wet, blot gently and allow to dry naturally at room temperature.
Q: Is the Amazona 40 unisex? A: Yes. Its clean, structured lines and minimal branding make it a versatile carry for any wardrobe, whether for work, travel or weekend use.
Q: Where is it made? A: Loewe leather goods are traditionally handcrafted in Spain, and this piece is stamped Made in Spain. As with all vintage items, stamps and placements can vary slightly by production period.
Q: How is the interior organised and how does it close? A: The Amazona 40 features a secure zip closure and a practical internal pocket for smaller essentials, with a spacious main compartment suitable for daily or travel use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Product information. If an item such as a padlock or shoulder strap is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for clarification.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logos/stamps and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further photos or details on request.
