Every autumn, fashion rediscovers texture. Knits get chunkier, coats get heavier and accessories follow suit. At Loewe, the season’s mood arrives in shearling, and two bags in particular show how differently the fabric can behave. Soft and unapologetically tactile, the shearling Medium Amazona 180 and the Cala Mini are bags you instinctively want to touch.
The Amazona is, of course, amongst Loewe’s most storied handbags. The new Amazona 180 feels like its relaxed, modern sibling. Where the original is structured and polished, this version slouches with intent. A single toron top handle anchors the design, best carried open, while a concealed closure keeps the main compartment secure. Refined shearling only looks better slung over an arm through a busy day.
Tactility aside, the Medium Amazona 180 is also highly practical. Carry it by the short handle, over the shoulder or crossbody with the removable strap. Inside, two compartments and a flat internal pocket sit within a nappa lambskin lining. A zip with two leather pullers and a magnetic closure handle the fastening. The left-side D-ring invites charms or personal touches, while the embossed Double L branding stays quietly in the background.

Fancy a compact alternative? Then the Cala Mini is the answer. This seasonal edition comes in gradient lamb shearling, with a zip closure that opens to a fully leather-lined interior. A silver embossed LOEWE on the side adds a small, polished signature. Carry it by the handle, on the shoulder, or crossbody with the removable tubular leather strap. Woven handles keep things grounded while the shearling does the talking.
Loewe’s shearling pieces avoid tipping into costume territory through polished leather trims and woven details. Both styles also offer thoughtful carry options for different occasions. The Medium Amazona 180 (SGD8150) is the roomier, easier choice for daily life. The Cala Mini (SGD4700), on the other hand, suits anyone who wants a small bag with a sense of fun.
