This rare vintage Loewe handbag is striking for its texture, proportion and considered craftsmanship. Crafted in python leather, it features an elongated east-west barrel silhouette with softly structured sides and smooth lizard leather top handles in a tonal beige-brown finish.
The detailing is exceptional throughout. A distinctive gold-tone hanging lock sits at the front of the bag, accompanied by its original python clochette and key chain. Both exterior zippers feature engraved hardware, adding another subtle expression of Loewe’s attention to detail. The bag can be carried by its structured top handles or worn over the shoulder with the detachable flat leather strap.
Inside, a contrasting purple suede lining adds an unexpected richness to the neutral exterior.
This is an especially beautiful example of Loewe’s late-2000s approach to exotic skins - understated in its branding, as is characteristic of the house, yet exceptionally detailed in its construction.
