Bags like the Extra Pocket and Extra Bag need no introduction at Loro Piana. Both styles are celebrated for their boxy, vintage-inspired charm, reminiscent of a classic vanity case. But this year, the Italian fashion house is launching an all-new version called the Extra Softy, which takes the Extra silhouette into a whole new dimension. By elongating the proportions and stripping away any interior stiffness, Loro Piana has created a bag that embodies slouchy good looks.

Available in two sizes, L33 and L44, the bag’s horizontal orientation feels modern and intentional, cutting a sleek profile whether it’s tucked under the arm or draped across the body via the accompanying strap. You can always count on Loro Piana to deliver excellent choices in materials. The Extra Softy comes in smooth butter calfskin, satin, woven leather, and the brand new ‘Wish Cash Double Chevron’, a handcrafted textile that brings the brand’s knitwear heritage to the world of leather goods.
Aside from carrying it via the top-handle clutch, each Extra Softy comes with a detachable strap connected via a bridge hook mechanism, ensuring the bag hangs with a graceful allure. The Extra Softy is designed for day-to-night wear, and its versatility is its greatest asset. The wide zip opening, secured by the signature three-dimensional gold padlock, offers a practical ease. Meanwhile, the vintage-style leather keyring with the Ghiera charm provides a touch of character for the modern wanderer.
Loro Piana has avoided the seasonal trend of bold, bright hues, opting instead for a neutral colour palette that includes Ancient Sandstone, Baby Cashmere, Dark Chocolate Licorice, and Fossil. With the Extra Softy, Loro Piana denies that the most ‘extra’ thing you can be in 2026 is to be soft, slouchy, and comfortable all around.
