Fall has not even officially begun but we are at Fashion Week in New York to preview Spring 2009!   As I warned you, I am about to embark on a major Loewe addiction. Stuart Vevers is getting up there as one of my favorite designers. His ready-to-wear is edgy yet wearable and of course his bags are oh so very fabulous!   Okay, so here are a few delicious arm candy you can expect from Loewe come Spring. Tomorrow I will have fabulous Nancy Gonzalez Spring 2009 bags for your to drool over. According to Santiago Gonzalez (President and son of Nancy Gonzalez), even Vogue has not seen the new collection, we were the first Press he received at his showroom today!  Jump for details of the Loewe Pre-Spring 2009 bags!


Above top– Maia bag in Blush Ostrich is probably my favorite from this collection, also in black leather which does not have the same oomph.  Love the large outer flap, very 70s and retro chic.  Surprisingly,  I quite like the floating emblem.

The fabulous Ava bag in white crocodile I mentioned the other day.  Loewe crocs are very reasonably priced at around $10,000 (25cm)-$15,000(40cm) USD.

Amazona bag in stunning red calf hair, no logo which many of you will like. Stunning in its simplicity and luxurious in calf hair. Major love!

The Paloma handbags above in Black calf and Gray crocodile is 29cm and the perfect “ladies who lunch bag”. How elegant are they? I love the simple hook and eye hardware, it modernizes the classic shape. I am waiting on pricing info, and I’ll update as soon as I receive the info!

The sexy ruched karung lizard clutch is capped off with a piece of major bling.  I love box clutches but they don’t fit a thing, this clutch gives you the look but the soft pleating gives you more room.

  1. The blush ostrich and Gray crocodile are most droolworthy of the bunch. I already know I will be dreaming about them bigtime!

    How much is the big question!

  2. I absolutely love Loewe bags now, thank you for the introduction! You always providing diverse and interesting bag options to the usual Gucci/Coach/Prada that the other bag blogs always talk about.

  3. Tina, the blush ostrich is a must have. Please keep us posted on the price as soon as you hear. And do we have to call Hawaii or London? Are there no other Loewe outlets in the States? You’ve got me addicted and now I’m searching everywhere!!!

  4. Love the Grey Croc very chic lady that lunches!! Do keep us informed on the Nancy bags i am yet to purchase one of hers….I did love the version Samantha carried in SATC but never found out the name/colour of the bag!! =(

    L.xo

  5. Ever since you mentioned Loewe in a previous post, I have been hunting for these bags. I actually LOVE the Maia in black leather and the Ava in white croc. I’d rather the Ava was in white leather… $10k for a bag is Hermes level for me.

    Website says there are stores in Honolulu and San Fran

  6. Love all the Loewe bags you’ve been showing and for my age (27), the Maia is perfect. Please tell us evertyhing you see in the showrooms this week!

    I heard Loewe has incredible leathers and is considered the Hermes of Spain. Of course the Bag Snob would be all over them!

  7. Love Loewe. Period. But, I now have an issue with the pink ostrich. Would be afraid to be compared to the horrendous MJ adaptation. That isn’t what true luxury is about. I would want a bag that is second to none. Seen on no other. Read about us Snobs, and dreamt by all.

    The lizard clutch is outrageously stunning. Understated glamour that speaks volumes of your personal taste.

  8. I heard Jessica Alba say in an interview that she used this product called Abs in a Box to get her pre-baby body back. Then I saw these products by a company called It Cosmetics http://www.itcosmetics.com on the Today Show so I thought I would try them. I TOTALLY look like I’ve lost 15 lbs instantly and I feel like I’m finally able to get that in-shape look I’ve been working so hard for in the gym. I used their ABS IN A BOX and SMOKIN’ HOT LEGS. I am now going to order the MY BEAUTIFUL BREASTS kit.

    Just thought I’d share this GREAT find!!!

  9. Tina, I am loving Loewe Bags. They are so classic and at the same time can be carried by a 20 yr old, but also a 70 yr old. I am so excited to see your Spring reviews. Can’t wait.

    Will you be posting Adriana Castro & Sang A Spring Bags? I am loving these 2 young designers, I want to see more upcoming designers in Bag Snob.

  10. I love these bags! They are such cool designs. I love them all but I especially like the Maia bag in Blush Ostrich. Great minds think alike!

  11. Went to Loewe shop here in Dubai. The sales agent told me that they’re kind of giving me 50-60% discount, so I would only pay AED30K something(out of the original price AED70K something)! So now I am wondering what is the real original price as I saw here you mentioned it costs about $10K?
