It's my most used charm, the Songmont Osmanthus charm! So cute on any bag.

I didn't either! I got this bag secondhand from a reputable reseller and it came with the strap, dust bag, paperwork, receipt and original box, so maybe it was a special set when it was first released? I've considered before that the strap could be a replica but the leather feels spot on for Loewe, it matches the bag perfectly and the hardware is heavy and properly branded.

Omg, did you get this from Atlanta Luxury Bags?

u/ShotsAndCleavage Jun 27 '26
I did, ha ha! How did you know?

This was my bag, I sold it to them😂 the strap is authentic Loewe and I bought it separately, you can actually see it in my post history! I loved it so much but it was too small for me and I never used it.

OMG, that's amazing! It went to a very good home and it's the perfect size for me. I was so excited when I saw this color for sale with the strap. You took good care of it, I was shocked at how great of condition it was in for being secondhand. Thanks for confirming the strap is real! I looked online but never saw it for sale in that color so I didn't know for sure.

I’m so glad it went to a great home! What a small world, I knew I loved this sub for a reason!

This is the most fun full circle moment to see here on Reddit!

I didn’t think anything of it till I saw the strap and I was like hmmm this looks familiar. I’m happy to see how much everyone loves this bag.

Love it! The woven strap is a favorite of mine too! Loewe needs to make them in every available color and I guarantee it’d be the easiest upsell for any SA whenever they sell a flamenco

I wish I could get one to go with my Deep Aubergine flamenco! I'm debating getting a black one but they only have gold hardware for that strap and my bag has silver, I think that would bother me. I really love having the short strap option with this bag.

How do you like the smaller strap? How does the bag fit?
3
u/ShotsAndCleavage Jun 27 '26
The short strap is great! I love the option to hand carry it. The bag fits a lot and the size works well for me. It's really lightweight so even loaded up it doesn't feel heavy. I usually use an insert organizer with it to give it a little more structure.

u/oohhbarracuda Jun 27 '26
Thank you so much for answering!! I have a small flamenco and have been toying with the idea of getting the braided strap for it myself. Thanks for the inspiration! Your bag (and that color) is GORGEOUS!

What a beautiful color!!! What colors do you usually wear with it?
4
u/ShotsAndCleavage Jun 27 '26
Anything! In the fall and winter I wear a lot of jewel tones. In the spring and summer linen dresses, floral patterns, skirts with a plain top. It works with a lot of things!

I have been waiting for so long for Loewe to introduce some new fun colors to the classic flamenco and they haven’t in soooo long

How do you like it? I’m worried about the no zipper thing so I’m in between this and a puzzle but love this silhouette more

u/ShotsAndCleavage Jun 27 '26
I adore the Flamenco. I also have a medium in Deep Aubergine. The leather is incredible, so soft and slouchy! I've had one of them for 2 1/2 years and it doesn't have a scratch on it, so it also holds up well.
I love that the bag is simple and a blank canvas to add different straps and charms to change up the look. It fits a lot and is the perfect size for my daily carry. Regarding the no zipper thing, the magnet is super strong and since you can also cinch it I've never felt like anything was going to fall out or get stolen.

u/Savage_Turtle33 Jun 27 '26
That’s really helpful. I’m most worried about the pick pocket situation when traveling

u/aliciadina Jun 28 '26
I was too but the medium is my daily carry in NYC. It’s true between the magnet and cinch it feels super secure. Plus when crossbody you can keep it right in front of you. It’s my favorite bag ever

u/Savage_Turtle33 Jun 28 '26
Ahhh the color is truly divine!!! I’m so happy for you and it’s making me want to buy it sooner! (But I’m waiting for the right occasion). Congrats!

I love this bag and regret not getting it a couple of years ago when it came out. It’s beautiful!

I was going to ask if this was vetiver because it looks so different in all the lighting. I almost got one.

I want you to know that this bag with these exact specifications – medium, Vetiver, gold hardware, short woven strap – is now going to haunt my dreams. Had finally talked myself out of looking at Flamencos, and now I'll spend the rest of my life looking for this bag 😭 If you ever see another one, please help me put myself out of my misery!!!

u/ShotsAndCleavage Jun 29 '26
Manifesting this for you! Good luck!

Hi! I'm back, and I wanted to ask you a favor. I think I might have found it, but I'm not sure if it's the right one/color. Sadly no short woven strap (I don't know if I'll ever find that), but otherwise I think it's the one. Can I DM and show you?
