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 Shell Basket Shoulder Bag? A: This is a compact basket-style shoulder bag, so it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a slim pouch. With measurements of approximately 22 x 20 x 13 cm, it works well for light everyday use or warm-weather outings rather than carrying bulkier items.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style features dual flat shoulder straps and is designed for shoulder carry. The listed strap measurement is approximately 28 cm, giving it an easy, relaxed fit under the arm for most wearers.
Q: Does the bag have a zip or any interior lining? A: No. This piece has an open top and an unlined interior, which gives it the airy, natural feel typical of Loewe basket bags. If you prefer extra organisation, a slim pouch can be useful inside.
Q: What is this bag made from? A: This item features a woven straw body with brown leather trim and a leather Loewe Anagram charm. The combination of natural fibre and leather gives it the casual elegance that makes Loewe basket styles so popular in spring and summer.
Q: Is this a practical everyday bag? A: It is practical for light everyday essentials, especially on holiday, at lunch, on city strolls or during warmer months. Because it is an open, natural-fibre style, it is better suited to lighter use than heavy commuting, overfilling or wet-weather wear.
Q: Are slight variations in shape normal for this type of bag? A: Yes. Handwoven basket bags often show slight variations in shape, weave and structure, and that is part of their charm. Natural fibres can also soften a little with use, so minor individuality is expected rather than considered a flaw.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help preserve the shape and finish, avoid overfilling and keep it away from prolonged moisture, direct heat, oils, perfume and cosmetics. If it gets damp, gently dab it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry at room temperature. When not in use, store it in a dry place, ideally inside a soft cloth bag and lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This vintage piece is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the leather charm, while the interior has a light trace of use. These signs are consistent with gentle wear and are reflected in the overall condition assessment.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information items? A: No. This item is listed with no additional product information items included. If anything extra were included, it would be stated in the product information on this page.
