Q: Which size is this Amazona and what are its measurements? A: This is the Amazona 40, approximately 40 × 28 × 18 cm (W × H × D) with a handle drop of about 10 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures.
Q: Will it qualify as cabin baggage for flights? A: At around 40 cm in length, it generally falls within many airlines’ cabin-bag limits, but allowances differ by carrier and route. Please check your airline’s rules before travelling.
Q: What fits inside the Amazona 40? A: A change of clothes for 1–2 days, A4 documents or magazines, a 13–14 inch laptop, a toiletry pouch, and daily essentials. As the interior is unlined suede with one zipped pocket, we recommend using pouches and a protective laptop sleeve for electronics.
Q: How does this compare to newer Amazona releases? A: The Amazona is a Loewe icon from the 1970s and was reintroduced in 2021 in updated, smaller day sizes such as the 19 Square and 28. The Amazona 40 is a larger, travel‑friendly vintage size often referred to as a weekend bag.
Q: Can it be carried on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is approximately 10 cm, so it is intended for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry rather than shoulder wear.
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: Does it come with a shoulder strap or other items? A: This piece is designed for hand carry only and is sold as pictured. Everything included is listed under product information. If an item such as a strap, dust bag or padlock is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Can it be carried on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is approximately 10 cm, so it is intended for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry rather than shoulder wear.
Q: How should I care for the leather and the suede interior? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid water, oils, perfumes and prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape. For the suede interior, use a clean suede brush for light marks and keep darker textiles in pouches to minimise colour transfer.
Q: Where would I find the serial number, and what if I cannot see one? A: On Loewe bags the code is typically on a small interior leather tab with the Loewe and Made in Spain stamps; on some older pieces it may be embossed directly into the lining and can be hard to spot. Serial formats have changed over time and are not publicly decodable, so absence or variation alone does not indicate a counterfeit.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Is there any odour? A: The product information notes a light vintage smell inside. Air the bag in a cool, dry place and use odour‑absorbing sachets if desired; avoid spraying fragrance or cleaners directly on the leather or suede.
