The concept of cute is something that always sells well, as long as it is done tastefully. And in the case of the new Loewe + Katie Hillier limited edition collection, there’s definitely no doubt that these pieces will be well received.
Designed in collaboration with accessories designer Kate Hillier, a fan of the brand who describes the iconic Amazona as ‘a classic bag for cool girls’. With that said, she didn’t want to interfere with the designs of existing bags, but decided to add her own touch, replacing Loewe’s signature padlock with her very own animal designs.
An example of her own work is this set of 3 rings, consisting of pieces Bunny Loves, Glowing Heart and Bubble Heart, a stunning ensemble of luxury jewellery.
Naturally, for the Loewe Ida (the shoulder satchel), her first animal-inspired padlock was the Rabbit. In fact, all the 3 bags in the collection in Navy (be it the Ida, the Amazona28 or the classic Amazona) will come with the rabbit padlock.
For all the 3 bags in Pink, the accompanying animal will be the Mouse.
Which in my honest opinion is somehow cuter than the Rabbit. Besides the 2 aforementioned animals, there is a 3rd (the Snail) that will come with all the bags in Red.
Available exclusively online now at Colette, they are priced at EUR790, EUR1100 and EUR1600 for the Ida, the Amazona28 and the classic Amazona respectively, before shipping and taxes.
Which one do you like the most? And don’t forget to check out my Facebook fan page for more images of the collection.

Oh dear, I just checked out the Colette website and the Red is crazily gorgeous! I love the Rabbit too and the Blue is a nice neutral, I’m in such a dilemma! Blue or Red, BB? BTW, will this be good as a travel bag?
If you are referring to the Ida, it would work when you shopping overseas and need to be hands-free. Most definitely Blue then.
Yup, was talking about the Ida! Do you know if the Red is a true red or more of a coral? Thanks BB!
Hmm, from what I can tell, it is more Red than Coral.
It’s a really pretty collection! (FB)
Okay, this is almost too much cuteness squeezed into one post – but then again, there is no such thing as too much cuteness! Anyway, favourite is definitely the mouse. Mice rules!
And yes, I’m born in the year of the rat…
The shade of blue is lovely! (FB)
Hey BB, any idea how much is the ring?
Hillier London is not available in SG, and I can’t seem to find out how much it costs online either.
Let me dig around a little more and see what I can come up with. Stay tuned!
yes please. Keep us informed! I am obsessing over the ring!
Hi Christine, if it is not too late, here is the price info:
Bunny Love Ring (18 carat yellow gold with pave diamonds) £1500
The Padlocks are so cute!!! (FB)
I love Loewe and I love cute. Gimme!!
The Rabbit!! *shriek*
My chinese sign, and the Ida is probably a good substitute for the crazily priced Celine box bag which I had lusted for months.
If it helps, the tassels are a nice touch too. You can also tuck the straps in and use it as a clutch.
Oh no… Super tempted with the pink!! Crazily sweet!! If only it’s pink + snail? Keke… (FB)
Real cute, am very tempted! (FB)
Adorable aren’t they? Which one are you eyeing?
