Loewe Anagram Basket Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Loewe Anagram Basket Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 46 × 25 × 16 cm, this is a roomy basket-style tote that will generally hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, a water bottle, and a light layer. As with most open basket bags, capacity depends on how you organise your items, so we recommend checking the measurements on this page for the best guide.

Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This piece features leather straps with an approximate 30 cm drop, which makes it suitable for shoulder carry, and an approximate 16 cm handle drop for carrying by hand or in the crook of the arm.

Q: Does this bag have a zip, lining, or inside pockets?
A: No. This vintage Loewe basket bag has an open top and an unlined interior. That keeps it lightweight and easy to access, but many owners prefer to use a small pouch inside for valuables and organisation.

Q: Is each Loewe basket bag exactly the same?
A: Not usually. Loewe basket bags are known for their handwoven construction, so slight variations in shape, weave, and measurements can occur. These small differences are part of the character of handcrafted natural-fibre bags.

Q: Is the Loewe basket bag durable enough for regular use?
A: It is well suited to regular warm-weather use, holidays, and everyday essentials, but woven raffia should be treated more gently than an all-leather bag. To help preserve the shape and weave, avoid overfilling it with heavy items and take extra care with friction at the top edges and base.

Q: How should I care for this raffia and leather bag?
A: Store it in its dust bag in a cool, dry place, ideally lightly stuffed so it keeps its shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, rain, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics. If it gets damp, gently dab away excess moisture with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally at room temperature.

Q: What condition is this particular bag in?
A: This piece is in very good vintage condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This bag includes a dust bag. If any other original extras are not listed in the product information, they are not included with this piece.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The country of origin label states Spain, which is consistent with Loewe’s basket-bag production heritage.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected by in-house experts. Authentication is based on a multi-point review of craftsmanship, materials, stitching, hardware, branding details, and overall construction, so you can shop with confidence.
