Loewe Woven Fringe Basket Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Loewe Woven Fringe Basket Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 56 x 30 x 28 cm, this is a roomy basket-style tote. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetics pouch, and a water bottle, with space left for extras like a light knit, book, or tablet. As always, exact capacity depends on how you pack and the shape of your items.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This piece features dual adjustable flat leather shoulder straps and a handle drop of approximately 25 cm, so it is well suited to shoulder carry while still being easy to carry by hand when preferred.

Q: Does the bag have a zip or other top closure?
A: No. This style has an open top, giving it the relaxed look of a classic basket bag and making it easy to access your belongings quickly. If you prefer more structure or privacy, a slim pouch or organiser can be helpful inside.

Q: Is the interior lined?
A: Yes. Unlike many open basket styles, this bag has a black suede interior, which gives it a softer and more luxurious finish.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: The exterior and interior are both noted as Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, gentle signs of wear are normal and part of its character.

Q: Does this item come with a dust bag?
A: Yes. A dust bag is included with this bag.

Q: How should I care for a woven leather bag with a suede interior?
A: It is best stored in its dust bag and kept away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, moisture, oils, perfume, and cosmetics. Avoid overfilling it, as basket-style shapes keep their form best when carried with light to moderate weight. If it gets damp, gently blot with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature.

Q: Is a basket-style Loewe bag practical for everyday use?
A: Yes, especially if you like a spacious, easy-to-carry bag with a relaxed look. Basket-style designs are ideal for daywear, holidays, city outings, and warm-weather dressing, but they are best treated with care and not overloaded with heavy items that may strain the woven construction over time.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, markings, and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we offer.
