The Flamenco bag is a Loewe classic, with a 50-year-old history in the brand. Despite its age, it remains fresh and has gathered attention again, thanks to Loewe’s resurgence in the luxury fashion scene. However, there are concerns about its functionality and the way the bag responds to long-wear. We are going to discuss this and give a candid review of the Loewe Flamenco bag.
The Anatomy of this Bag
The Loewe Flamenco is not an ordinary pouch, it is an innovative take on a typical design. You have the simple drawstring and sac mechanism including Loewe’s fun touch – the bonny curly knotted drawstrings, tied in with the metallic logo on the bottom creating a high-end feel, and the incredible leather base which adds so much to this design. The bag’s supple leather is so impeccable that it creates beautiful waves that bring character and volume to the bag.
There are two primary versions of the Loewe Flamenco: the clutch and the purse. The clutch is a classic and more popular version of the two. Both versions can be used in three ways; as a clutch, crossbody with the detachable strap, and as a shoulder bag using the adjustable feature for shorter wear. The purse comes with an additional shoulder doughnut chain-adorned strap. The multi-purpose functionality of the Flamenco is definitely what makes it worthwhile having three, maybe four ways you can wear a designer bag is a game-changer.
What are the Pros and Cons of the Loewe Flamenco Bag
Lifting off the last thing we mentioned the versatility is a big pro to this bag, having multiple ways you can wear it will give you a lot more out of your investment and it’s relatively good pricing for a designer bag. The only con we could list is one that we believe is not a problem but some others may, without registering it’s actually a positive.
It is that the leather is resilient and bounces back, flattening out easily, causing the drawstring to lose its pull. Nonetheless, this is a half-century-year-old structure by Loewe, it is meant to keep a consistent shape which is very hard to do with a drawstring pouch but the high-quality leather gives some form helping you to achieve the same look each time, a trait that every high-end bag should have. If you want consistency and stability in your designer purchases this should not be a concern.
