The 411 on the Best Loewe Handbags to Buy, From the Puzzle to the Squeeze

For a while now, we've been witness to Spanish heritage brand Loewe's growing influence in the fashion world. Since Jonathan Anderson was appointed creative director in 2013, the whole line has become even more covetable. He's been credited for the revival of this luxury brand, which was originally founded in 1846 and has been favored by the likes of Sophia Loren and Marlene Dietrich over the years. Now, top names like Zendaya and Greta Gerwig are fans for their red carpet looks, and the demand for the accessories has soared in recent years.

It's Anderson's modern twists on classics that we've come to love. But it's not just Loewe classics like the Puzzle bag or Raffia tote that have won the hearts of those in the know—the understated elegance of recent releases like the Paseo or the Squeeze have proven to be hits with the fashion crowd. They don't shout like Gucci, and they aren't as recognizable as Chanel, but they will last forever. The only hard bit about the decision to invest in a Loewe bag is choosing which one to buy. Keep scrolling for our guide to the best styles available now.

1. Loewe Puzzle

The Puzzle bag has quickly become a wardrobe classic. It's been a fashion favorite since its inception in 2015. The iconic shape is updated every season, with this year showing the style in a few bright and fresh colorways.

2. Loewe Squeeze

4. The Hammock

The Hammock style has proved ever popular due to the fact that you can wear it multiple ways: on your shoulder, in your hand, and crossbody. So that's basically three bags in one, right? Its changing shape makes it really versatile, especially if you want to invest in one bag to rule them all.

5. Loewe Paseo

The Paseo made its debut in Loewe's S/S 23 collection but is still a popular pick today, especially with the east-west style trending as of late. The bag comes in multiple colorways from Dark Butter to Warm Desert and is also available in an XL size.

6. Loewe Amazona

The Amazona debuted in 1975 as an accessory fit for the female workforce. It was reintroduced by Anderson in 2021 and is available in solid colors as well as Loewe's anagram print. Whether you want it for work or prefer it as an off-duty bag, it's undeniably chic.

7. Loewe Bracelet

Yes, it's a bracelet and a bag. Finished with metal plaques on each end, this versatile bag easily converts from a shoulder bag to a statement bracelet. Longer straps can also be added for convenience.

8. The Basket

Loewe's basket bag has been reinvented multiple times, but it doesn't get better than the classic silhouette. The basket raffia tote has become something of a status symbol of summer, and with warm weather approaching, we suggest buying into it as soon as possible.
