Loewe Medium Flamenco Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Flamenco?
A: With approximate dimensions of 31 × 28 × 10 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a compact umbrella or small water bottle, and a cosmetics pouch. It can also fit an 11-inch tablet in a slim case. Capacity will vary by organiser and how much you cinch the drawstring—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: How can I wear this bag?
A: It is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear using the adjustable leather strap, and for a shorter shoulder/carry look using the detachable chain. You can also carry it by hand as a soft clutch when both straps are removed. The detachable setup makes it easy to switch between day and evening styling.

Q: Is the closure secure enough for daily use?
A: The bag features a discreet magnetic closure under the ruched, drawstring top. It stays closed well in day-to-day wear, though it is not as sealed as a zipped bag. For very small or valuable items, we recommend using a small zipped pouch inside.

Q: Does the Medium Flamenco fit a laptop or A4 documents?
A: It does not accommodate a 13-inch laptop. Slim A4 papers may go in diagonally but the curved, cinched opening and soft structure make it less suitable for rigid A4 folders. A small tablet or e-reader fits comfortably.

Q: Is it heavy and comfortable for all-day wear?
A: The nappa body is lightweight and soft on the shoulder. The chain adds some weight and a dressier look; for extended wear we suggest using the adjustable leather strap and keeping heavier items to a minimum for comfort.

Q: Will the chain strap scratch the leather?
A: The donut-style chain is designed to be gentler, but nappa leather is naturally soft. To minimise surface marks, avoid prolonged rubbing of the chain against the body of the bag, wear it over clothing, and store the chain separately or wrapped when not in use.

Q: How should I care for the nappa calfskin and suede lining?
A: Keep the leather away from rain, oils, alcohol-based products and direct heat/sun. Colour transfer can occur both from dark garments onto light leather and from intensely coloured leather onto light clothing—avoid prolonged rubbing against contrasting fabrics. If the exterior gets damp, blot gently and allow to air dry. For the suede lining, use a clean suede brush or lint roller and avoid liquids inside the bag. Store loosely stuffed in its dust bag to maintain the shape.

Q: Does the bag keep its shape or slouch?
A: The Flamenco is intentionally soft and slouchy with a ruched top. It will relax when carried; if you prefer more structure, a lightweight organiser insert can help, noting that it will slightly reduce the natural drape and capacity when the top is cinched.
