Featuring dual handles, a detachable flat shoulder strap and an open top, it is an easy choice for city strolls, holiday lunches or relaxed weekend outings with a refined artisanal touch.
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 Small Surplus Woven Basket Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 23 x 16.5 x 15 cm, this small basket style is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses, and a few compact extras. It is ideal for light everyday use rather than larger items like a tablet or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be carried by hand and on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has dual top handles with an approximate handle drop of 10 cm, plus a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 53 cm. That gives you the option of carrying it in the hand or wearing it on the shoulder.
Q: Does the bag have a zip or other closure? A: No. This model has an open top, which gives easy access to your belongings but is less secure than a zipped style. If you prefer more organisation, a slim pouch can be useful inside.
Q: Is the interior lined? A: No. The interior is unlined, which keeps the bag light and lets the woven leather craftsmanship remain visible from the inside as well.
Q: What makes the Surplus woven design special? A: The Surplus design is known for its woven construction in smooth and grained calfskin, creating a distinctive multicolour basket look. It is appreciated for combining artisanal texture with a more elevated leather finish than a traditional raffia basket bag.
Q: Is this bag practical for everyday use? A: Yes, if you travel fairly light. The small size, open top, and easy shoulder strap make it well suited to city outings, lunches, holidays, and warm-weather dressing. It is less suitable if you need to carry heavier or bulkier items throughout the day.
Q: How should I care for a woven leather Loewe bag? A: Store it in a cloth bag when not in use, avoid overfilling it so the shape stays neat, and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, water, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics. If it gets damp, gently dab away moisture with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: This item is listed in very good condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As this is a pre-owned piece, minor signs of wear are part of its character and are reflected in the condition notes.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap. If any other inclusions are present, they will be listed in the Product Information section on this page. If an item is not listed there, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Spain, which is closely associated with Loewe's leather craftsmanship heritage.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, branding, and overall consistency with the model. This helps ensure that pre-owned pieces are carefully vetted before being offered for sale.
