The sustainable bag line from Loewe has officially hit shelves
Echoing the spirit of LOEWE's sustainable Surplus Project, the Flamenco Surplus bag was born from leftover leather from previous collections.
Absorbing the spirit of LOEWE's sustainable Surplus Project, the Flamenco Surplus bag is crafted from leftover leather from previous collections, combined with craftsmanship to create colourful, flowing lines. Waves on the soft body of the bag. LOEWE's team of skilled artisans cut and press the leather parts together before proceeding with the technique of thinning each sheet. This technique removes thin layers of the surface to reveal wavy layers of colour. These evocative layers are reminiscent of rock strata or geological illustrations, inspired by the ancient beauty of nature. In the pre-fall 2024 collection, the Flamenco Surplus clutch was introduced in many different colour combinations such as light yellow - apple green, blue - caribbean, turquoise - prugna, and avocado - pearl gray.
First launched in the 1980s and redesigned by creative director Jonathan Anderson in 2015, the Flamenco bag features a "Flamenco skirt" effect. This effect is created when the roll buttons are pulled back to tightly close the bag. The bag is made of soft leather, easy to transform, and can be carried by hand, shoulder or crossbody. LOEWE uses high-quality, low-impact materials in all its collections, with 93% of its leather sourced from Leather Working Group certified tanneries.
The Flamenco Surplus bag collection launches on June 13 at selected Casa LOEWE and ReCraft stores worldwide.
