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 this Loewe Amazona Boston Bag (Large)? A: With approximate measurements of 49 × 24 × 22 cm, it comfortably holds a weekend’s wardrobe: a change of clothes, light knit or jacket, shoes, a washbag, and tech like a 15–16 inch laptop in a slim sleeve. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page to plan your load.
Q: Is it suitable to use as a cabin bag on flights? A: Many airlines allow cabin bags around 55 × 40 × 23–25 cm. At 49 cm in length, this bag sits within the typical length limit and is comparable overall, but rules vary by airline and aircraft, and depth allowances can be strict. We recommend checking your specific carrier’s cabin rules before travelling.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This particular piece is designed for hand carry via its rolled top handles and does not include a shoulder strap. Some Amazona variants (especially recent re-editions) feature detachable straps, but this vintage Boston style is a handheld design—please see the Product information section for what is included with this listing.
Q: Is the interior lined? A: The interior of this bag is unlined. On many vintage Amazona Boston pieces, the reverse side of the leather or suede serves as the interior surface, which helps keep the bag lightweight while preserving a supple feel.
Q: How should I care for the leather and preserve the colour? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid prolonged sunlight, contact with water, oils, or cosmetics, and do not use harsh cleaners. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place. Handles and high‑touch areas may naturally darken over time with use; this patina is typical of well‑loved leather.
Q: When was the Loewe Amazona introduced, and what is its significance? A: The Amazona was first launched in the 1970s (1975 is widely cited) and remains one of Loewe’s house icons. The Boston silhouette is a spacious, softly structured take on the design, prized for its practicality and understated elegance.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the Product information section on this page. For this listing, a dust bag is included. If you need confirmation about any specific item, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag, and what are typical Loewe hallmarks? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point, in‑house authentication. Typical Loewe hallmarks include the crisp debossed LOEWE label, a clear Made in Spain stamp, and a serial number or internal code on an interior tab (formats vary by era and are not used to date the bag). Construction quality, leather, stitching, and hardware are also carefully assessed.
Q: Will a 15-inch or 16-inch laptop fit? A: Yes—given the 49 cm length, most 15‑ and 16‑inch laptops fit horizontally in a slim sleeve. For best results, compare your device’s dimensions to the Measurements here and use a protective sleeve to avoid imprinting on the leather.
