Loewe Flamenco bag 3 ways - S milk cocoa (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎), 100% authentic pre-owned item from approximately the 1990s! 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 due to changes in market positioning and the addition of many new elements. The leather on new products tends to be thicker. Once you've touched an older piece, you'll understand. The texture of new products is completely different from that of vintage pieces from older eras. The Nappa leather from the old days was truly as smooth as a baby's skin (I sound like a pervert...|||||), but it was incredibly soft, light, and thin, with a weight so negligible that it felt like no burden at all when used! In fact, the bags I use most often for daily work are LOEWE. I only use the beautiful bags for holidays. This is because Nappa leather is so soft, light, and thin, with a weight so negligible that it feels like no burden at all when used! For daily work use, the bag's own weight is very important because of the long hours; otherwise, you'll be tired all day and still have to carry a heavy bag after work... LOEWE NAPPA bags are definitely a practical yet understated choice. Most of their older designs are very low-key and subtle. The pre-owned designs are very suitable for commuting. Usually, there's only the brand name, with a small or large logo often located at the corners. This is very different from the design of new products today. This particular bag is a predecessor to the recent, smaller Flamenco pouch. The Flamenco has actually been reissued and redesigned several times throughout LOEWE's history. The version commonly found in the pre-owned market is the fringed version, which is the most popular. However, the one I have here is an extremely rare buckle version with a handle! It's very rare to see a Flamenco with a handle! In addition to the handle, the usual fringe area has been replaced with a simple U-shaped embellishment. This makes it more minimalist and lighter than the fringed version. The color is absolutely stunning! It's the highly sought-after "millennial" color palette of recent years, a golden brown, reminiscent of golden honey, incredibly beautiful! The leather is Nappa lambskin, which is highly durable yet lightweight, with a smooth feel similar to lambskin but without its delicate nature. The leather is somewhat similar to that of modern Flamenco bags but is finer, lighter, and more delicate than modern versions. You can see how fine it is in the photos. It's the small size! My favorite small size, the perfect size for petite individuals! Although it's small, its capacity is definitely not lacking. Compared to the original or modern versions, it has the most capacity because this design features accordion folds at the front and back, which can be expanded. This means that once you fill it with items, the width it can expand to is even greater. It can hold a phone, a long, medium, or short wallet, a cardholder, keys, hand sanitizer, and even all your essentials, with plenty of room to spare. When full, it puffs out adorably! The multi-compartment design makes it easy to organize items. The interior compartments include ☑ 3 large sections, ☑ 1 small zippered pocket, and ☑ 1 small buttoned pocket. What's most special is the handle; I've always said that the handle is the most attractive part of most bag designs. This is truly the first time I've seen this handle style! It's so cute. In addition to the handle, it also comes with the original long shoulder strap, allowing for three ways to carry it: by hand, on the shoulder, or across the body, making it super convenient for you to switch as needed. The leather is calfskin, which is not delicate and is easy to care for. Also, the U-shaped drawstring closure on this Flamenco is less likely to loosen and it has a card slot! Modern versions lack card slots, so the bag can easily lose its shape when carried for a long time. This one definitely won't! Practical and beautiful! . . ⚐⚑˒˒ The bag's condition is extremely, extremely, extremely good, a masterpiece of beauty! Almost no signs of use can be found! It's truly beautiful! The color is a rare golden milk tea, seldom seen! A gentle millennial color with a contrasting pink edge, beautiful and unique! This design is definitely a very rare find among pre-owned Flamencos, with U-shaped metal embellishments on both sides of the drawstring closure, and it even has a handle! The LOEWE logo is subtly engraved above the U-buckle, which is completely free of oxidation and gleams silver. The drawstring closure has a buckle, so it won't loosen when in use. The front of the bag features a small LOEWE logo. There are no creases, marks, scratches, or indentations on the front or back, and no stains. The edges have pink edge paint, with slight natural cracking, which is almost unavoidable with thick edge paint but shows no signs of peeling. The bottom, four corners, and edges are completely free of marks, scratches, indentations, wear, or peeling. No signs of use are visible! The Nappa calfskin feels smooth and delicate, and its condition is incredibly good, with a beautiful natural sheen! The leather's luster is as if it has its own halo. Most importantly! The leather of the entire bag has no discoloration, dyeing, or stains, it's stunningly beautiful! The handle area is completely free of stains, remarkably new. The buckle is silver and gleaming, with absolutely no oxidation or discoloration. The buckle is also engraved with the fine LOEWE lettering, a beautiful detail. The interior is extremely luxurious, fully leather-lined! Oh my goodness! Extremely rare to find a fully leather-lined pre-owned Flamenco. This means the entire bag, inside and out, is made of leather. This model was very costly to produce at the time! Both the interior and exterior are made of Nappa leather! And it's the same soft pinkish color as the edge paint, with a very soft feel. The brand's hot-stamped TAG is intact. The interior zipper also functions smoothly. The zipper pull and the small button closure also have LOEWE engravings. It comes with the original dust bag and authenticity card. Additionally, to provide more versatility for the lovely owner, a chain shoulder strap has been specially added. When attached, it can be used for long shoulder or crossbody wear. Overall, the bag is extremely, extremely new and clean, unbelievably so, with no flaws and no signs of use! A once-in-a-lifetime find! An absolutely rare combination of condition and style! I will never be able to find another one in such a nearly new condition! The millennial color combined with the special handle design makes it expensive, but this style is truly rare and a purchase you won't regret. ❍ The photos were personally taken by the owner under natural sunlight. The light may vary depending on the time of day, and color differences are possible. Additionally, I have more detailed photos and photos of the bag being worn, but I cannot upload them here.

In the past, most pre-owned items were ✦ handmade, with the warmth of craftsmanship rather than mass production. The skill of artisans was definitely much more delicate than machines, just as everyone loves products made by skilled craftspeople! However, today, 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 detailed patterns of recent brand revivals of old prints with the true old prints from older eras. The level of detail in the patterns alone is completely different. If you love prints, you should look for pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older eras were more ✦ simple, timeless, and enduring. Many new designs today are actually revivals 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 will always be more complex (or strange......) than the older models. I believe that as you grow older, you'll understand one thing: the simpler, the more enduring! As you age, you'll even return to basic clothing styles because the more basic, the more versatile. The quality of raw materials in older models is even better than in new ones. Anyone who understands ✦ leather will be able to tell; the materials in new products are mostly inferior to older ones. The main reason is that the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high today, and their availability 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 wasn't the "fast fashion" culture of today; a bag was expected to be used for many years. The difference between new and old eras is clearly visible in the ✦ hardware. The hardware on many new products oxidizes and discolors after just one or two years, 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! Therefore, even vintage bags from as early as the 60s and 70s, if properly preserved, can still have gleaming hardware today. As for new products available today, from what I know of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, so it oxidizes easily. Many people say that buying vintage bags is a form of alternative investment because they rarely depreciate and only increase in value. This is because well-preserved pre-owned bags are becoming increasingly rare in the market; one less exists every day. Remember, each of them is a discontinued item. The number of existing pieces in the world is finite, so they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Also, 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 see a direct price increase! In addition, with the recent popularity of vintage bags among Japanese and Korean celebrities, once a certain style is worn by a celebrity, its price skyrockets, truly skyrockets. This is because, during that period, many people will frantically search for that style or a similar alternative, and the prices of those few styles will increase exponentially... Therefore, vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy early; buy late, pay more" (this is not an advertising slogan... it's the truth in the vintage world...). This is my personal experience; I regret not getting into many series earlier... I can't find them, 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 have no choice but to buy 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 will include small notes with details inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to take them out for maintenance when I'm organizing my closet during seasonal changes (so each seasonal change is a big project...|||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. When you're new to it, 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 last for another ten years and be passed down to your daughter without any problem! 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 for a long time ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you're interested in purchasing, please message me for details. Feel free to ask.
