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 32? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 26 × 15 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml bottle and a compact umbrella. Capacity varies depending on organisers and cases—please compare your items with the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch laptop or A4 documents? A: A slim 13-inch laptop or tablet (around 30.4 × 21.2 cm) generally fits. Slim A4 papers fit best when placed horizontally; a rigid A4 binder or bulky laptop sleeve may be tight. For peace of mind, use a thin protective sleeve and avoid overfilling to maintain the bag’s structure.
Q: Does this piece come with a shoulder strap? A: This vintage Amazona 32 is the classic handheld style with dual rolled top handles and is intended for hand or crook-of-arm carry. No strap is included with this item. Everything included is listed under the product information section.
Q: What is the handle drop on this bag? A: The handle drop is approximately 13 cm, designed for comfortable handheld or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior? A: Before first use, lightly apply a suede protector after testing on a hidden area. Keep away from rain and direct heat, brush the nap gently with a suede brush, blot (do not rub) any moisture and let it air-dry naturally. Store stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with suede? A: Yes. Suede can pick up dye from dark denim or saturated fabrics, especially with friction or humidity. Minimise rubbing against dark textiles, let any moisture dry fully before storage and refresh the nap with a gentle brush. Pre‑treating with a quality suede protector helps reduce transfer.
Q: What is the Amazona’s background and how does this version compare to current releases? A: The Amazona debuted in 1975 with a timeless, doctor‑bag silhouette and double‑zip opening. Contemporary editions often add detachable straps and updated sizes, while this vintage 32 retains the classic structured, top‑handle profile crafted in Spain.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for this listing. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag and do Loewe bags always have serial numbers? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. Vintage Loewe pieces may or may not carry a serial/code, and these numbers are not publicly decodable for precise dating; authenticity is assessed holistically by specialists.
Q: Any tips for daily use to keep it in good shape? A: Avoid overloading, use a slim organiser to distribute weight, and keep the double zip fully closed when not in use to help preserve structure. Place it on clean surfaces and rotate carry to reduce corner wear.
