Loewe is known for some of today's most iconic bag designs, from stand-out, eye-catching pieces like the Puzzle and the Flamenco to their more classic styles, such as the Amazona and their Gate saddle bag. And of course, there’s one particular bag from the Spanish luxury brand that people tend to gravitate to once they start to feel the summer heat. We’re talking about the Basket Bag.
What is the Loewe Basket Bag?
As its name suggests, it's a basket-style bag made from woven palm leaves or raffia, accented with high-quality calfskin leather and adorned with the Loewe logo embossed in leather on the front.
It debuted in 2017 as part of Loewe's collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza, which drew inspiration from the free-spirited, bohemian vibe of the Spanish island, and features a range of clothing, accessories, and home decor items with bright, bold colors, playful prints, and luxurious materials. They also incorporate elements of traditional Spanish craft, such as crochet and embroidery. Some of the signature pieces in the collection include the raffia tote bags and—you guessed it—baskets.
Since its release, hot girl summer fashion was just never the same. From editors to influencers and celebrities, cool girls were spotted wearing the basket bag of the moment. It's the “it bag” of the summer, and its chic, timeless, and durable design has made it a modern classic.
Need proof? Here are all the local celebrities we’ve spotted carrying the basket bag on their summer trips.
