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 Flamenco Small? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 20 × 8 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, small cosmetics pouch, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, and an A5 notebook/diary. A small tablet (e.g., iPad mini) may fit, though the drawstring opening can make thicker cases snug. Please compare your items against the Measurements listed or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Vintage Flamenco bags typically have a fixed, non‑adjustable shoulder strap. For this piece, the strap drop is approximately 43 cm, suitable for shoulder wear and a high crossbody on some wearers. If you’d like us to confirm how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll advise.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure? A: The Flamenco’s drawstring offers good everyday security when cinched, though it’s not as sealed as a zip. Keep the bag upright during commuting, and use a small zip pouch inside for valuables. Our listing photos show the exact closure of this piece.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: This vintage edition features a red monogram lining with a single main compartment. There are no built‑in interior pockets on this piece—please review our photos for the precise layout.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: The listing specifies red leather with gold‑tone hardware and a red monogram textile lining. It is stamped Made in Spain. Our photos and description show the exact finish and details of this bag.
Q: How should I care for the leather, drawstring tassels and hardware? A: Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (especially with bright colours like red). Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; if conditioning is needed, use a high‑quality neutral product sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag. Avoid over‑tightening the drawstring to preserve the tassels and eyelets, and protect hardware from rubbing during storage to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Is the Flamenco bag still produced, and how does this vintage version compare? A: The Flamenco is a Loewe icon and continues in the modern collection (often called Flamenco or Flamenco Knot) with updated details and variations. Vintage editions like this one feature the classic drawstring silhouette and single shoulder strap, with a slightly different structure and hardware feel versus current models. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find earlier configurations.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Loewe bags typically have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOEWE” and “Made in Spain”). Serial numbers and code formats vary by era—some vintage pieces may have an embossed number on a leather tab, while others may not show a visible code. Placement can differ from model to model. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific piece on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece we note no accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: External condition: Very good with a light trace of use. Internal condition: Very good with a light trace of use. Hardware: Shiny with light scratches, consistent with gentle wear. Please review our photos for close‑ups and do contact us if you’d like a detailed condition video.
