Loewe Nappa Anagram Shoulder Bag - BLACK (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎), 100% authentic pre-owned item from approximately the 80s-90s! If you have any questions, please message before placing an order. All sales are final. Loewe is my favorite brand, but I personally feel that the quality of leather in the brand's recent new products has declined somewhat. Perhaps it's due to a change in market positioning and the addition of many new elements. The leather on new products is a bit thicker. Once you've felt an older piece, you'll understand. The texture of new products is completely different from vintage pieces from past eras. The Nappa lambskin from the old days was truly as smooth as a baby's skin (I sound like a pervert... |||||). Modern new products no longer have such high-quality leather. If you don't believe me, visit a LOEWE boutique and feel it for yourself. Even with the same Nappa technique, modern pieces no longer possess this level of quality (it's hard to describe in words, you have to feel it to understand). And of course, modern pieces are priced higher than pre-owned ones. So, from my perspective, LOEWE pre-owned bags are absolutely outstanding in terms of value for money! I believe everyone has seen many shoulder bag styles in recent years. They are sleek, stylish, and easy to match. They are truly versatile for spring and summer! Simply carrying one, whether for a casual shopping trip or daily work, is practical. Spring and summer call for a feeling of lightness! This piece is one of LOEWE's rare vintage models. Don't be fooled by its seemingly simple appearance with just a small logo. This series is actually very! hard! to! find! Let alone finding one, I don't even know how many models exist within this series? Because they are so rarely seen! Unlike the snake chain series or the museum series, which are special limited editions and relatively well-known, this series is very understated. If you don't look closely, you might miss it, because its special feature lies in the handle. The handle design is unique! Just by looking, you can see that the handle is exceptionally crafted from several thin leather cords intertwined to form the shoulder strap. Ahem! Here's the main point! It's adjustable! There are two button clasps on the sides of the strap, and by simply undoing them, you can directly lengthen the shoulder strap. This design is truly only found in this LOEWE series; I've never seen it in other models or brands! The moment I saw it, I was amazed by the design, and the next second, I fell in love! A simple, refined, and user-friendly strap design, but with high craftsmanship costs, using such thin leather cords for the strap. The leather itself requires high tensile strength, and the assembly is very intricate. I've kept two bags with this strap design for myself because they are truly special and so convenient! Please note: The large LOEWE logo leather cord charm in the first photo is not included with the bag. I added it because I felt it matched the bag's style, and it was used for the photo. The large logo leather cord charm is not included or attached to the bag. If you like it, it can be purchased separately. I have a brand new one with its original box, but it's not inexpensive. Besides the special design, the leather is, of course, my favorite Nappa lambskin – incredibly soft and smooth! You'll be addicted to touching it. LOEWE's bag designs, from ancient times to the present, are always full of sincerity! The small logo is subtly noticeable but not ostentatious. Compartments: ☑ 1 large compartment and ☑ 1 small zippered compartment. The capacity isn't huge, but it's definitely not a "small useless bag." It can hold a long or short wallet, keys, tissues, and wet wipes (I have one of the same model that I use myself, so I can confidently say the capacity is practical)! The cool black and silver color scheme, combined with the shoulder bag style, makes it very simple and easy to match. It's definitely not too flashy for work, and the strap details are full of special design flair. Simple yet extraordinary. It's suitable for everyday outings, meals, and more. It pairs well with both pants and skirts. Personally, I love pairing it with skinny jeans and a T-shirt for a casual, natural look. It looks great with an elegant solid-colored dress and a short jacket. With a short skirt and a camisole, it's very lively. The wide-leg pants + crop top combination is also very popular for a casual style. It also works with jeans. In autumn and winter, it adds a touch of sophistication with a trench coat or a short sweater. The key is that when the strap is lengthened, it won't get caught under your arm even with a thick coat! ⚐⚑˒˒ The bag is in very good condition. While not mint, it's still quite nice! The key feature is the unique strap design. The front and back of the bag show no discoloration or stains, but there are minor scratches from use, mainly on the back. The bottom, sides, and corners have no scratches or wear, and even the bottom studs are smooth! The small logo embossing is complete and clear. The entire exterior and strap are made of Nappa lambskin. The leather is in good condition, still retaining a natural sheen. With continued care after bringing it home, the luster will improve. There are large silver ring clasps on each side of the bag; they are not oxidized or discolored and are still shiny. On the inner corner where the silver ring connects to the bag, there are a few scratches from use. The connection points and the leather cords of the strap are very sturdy. The interior is lined with black silk featuring the LOEWE logo (with a slight sheen under different lighting). It's very clean with no loose threads or stains. The brand name silver buckle and zipper pull are shiny, and the zipper runs smoothly. The interior zippered compartment and the main compartment's clasp all have LOEWE-branded zipper pulls. The strap is the thin leather cord combination design as detailed above (truly unique). The entire strap feels soft and smooth to the touch, with no peeling, wear, dryness, or discoloration. There are button clasps on each side, which can be undone to lengthen or shorten the strap. The strap's length adjustment is fixed; it can be either long or short, but in either case, it's designed for underarm wear only, not for crossbody. Overall, the condition is very good. There are signs of use, but this bag is truly, truly practical and special. It comes with its original dust bag and authenticity card. The strap design allows you to lengthen it with one hand while on the street – the first time I've seen such a direct and convenient ingenious design! You know, adjusting the strap length on many bags usually takes some time and effort, but this one doesn't! I absolutely love it! This is a model that, after purchasing, you'll exclaim, "Why did they stop producing this kind of strap?!" The chances of getting a restock are very low! ❍ The photos were taken by me under natural sunlight, showing the actual item. Lighting can vary depending on the time of day, so color differences are possible. I have more detailed photos and reference photos of it being worn, but I can't upload them here. Please message me to request them! Due to the unique nature of pre-owned orders, all orders are non-returnable and non-exchangeable.

In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade; there were no mass-produced machines, only the warmth of handcraftsmanship. The skill of artisans is definitely much more delicate than machines, just like how everyone loves products made by hand by craftspeople! However, nowadays, most processes are done by machines with minimal human assembly, losing the delicacy of the past. I think the simplest and most direct way to see this is to compare the new "reissued" classic patterns from recent years with the genuine classic patterns from older eras. The level of detail in the classic patterns alone is completely different. If you love classic patterns, you must look for pre-owned items! Really! In terms of style, older eras were more simple, timeless, and enduring. Nowadays, many new designs are actually reissues of older styles. However, new products are priced higher than older ones. New designs are usually based on older models, with added details or altered designs. The final product always ends up being more complex (or strange......) than the older models. I believe as you grow older, you understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As you get older, your clothing choices often return to basic styles because the more basic, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older models is also better than in new ones. If you understand leather, you'll see it. Most materials in new products are inferior to older ones. The main reason is that the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high now, and the quantity is not as abundant as before. Earth's resources are dwindling... Furthermore, back then, brands didn't have as many "ubiquitous" branches as they do now... Most customers had a certain income and certain expectations for the finished product. There was no "fast fashion culture" back then; a bag was expected to be used for many years. The difference between new and old eras is very evident in the hardware. Many new hardware pieces oxidize and discolor after just one or two years of use, but older models usually don't. Besides the high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was plated with real K gold! It's worth mentioning that Chanel Vintage is expensive for a reason; many of its clasps and chains contain real gold, certified by gold merchants! So, even vintage bags from as early as the 60s or 70s, if properly preserved, can still have shiny hardware today. As for new products available now, from what I know, no brand uses K gold in its hardware anymore, so it generally oxidizes easily. Many people say buying vintage bags is a form of alternative investment because they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. This is because good-condition pre-owned bags are becoming increasingly rare in the market; with each one that disappears, there are fewer left. Remember, each of these is discontinued. There are only as many existing in the world as there are, so the number will only decrease, making them more expensive and harder to find. Moreover, many brands increase their prices periodically, and each increase drives up the prices in the pre-owned market. Or, if a brand releases a "reissue," the vintage reference or similar styles will skyrocket in price! Add to that the fact that Japanese and Korean celebrities have been favoring vintage items in recent years. Once a certain model is seen on a celebrity, its price immediately soars, truly soars. Because during that period, many people will frantically search for that model or a similar alternative, and the prices of those few models will multiply exponentially... So, vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy longer; buy late, pay more" (this isn't an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is my personal experience; I regret not getting into many series earlier... I can't find them now, and even if I do, they come with a sky-high price tag... But the problem is, even if you know it's a sky-high price, you're forced to pay it because waiting for the next one will only be more expensive (unless the condition is poor). I'm often asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I'll include a small note inside the bag with details, so don't worry. My personal habit is to give them a polish when I'm organizing my closet during seasonal changes (so each season change is a big project... |||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. When you first start collecting, you just need to get used to regular maintenance and cherishing the bag. Once you form the habit, it's not difficult. The materials of pre-owned bags are inherently excellent. As long as you don't use them roughly and preserve them properly, they can easily last another ten years and be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one that I love, which is why I collect them. So, I hope you will love it too and be able to preserve it. ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you're interested in purchasing, please message me for details. Feel free to ask anything.
