That Loewe tote, I hear folks talkin’ ’bout it. Some say it’s good, some say it ain’t worth the money. Me, I just look at pictures. Ain’t never seen one in person, you know. These Loewe bags, they are fancy, that’s for sure.

They say it’s made of straw, like them baskets we used to use for pickin’ berries. But this one, they say it’s special straw. Hand-weaved, they call it. Sounds like a lot of work for a basket, if you ask me. But some people, they like that fancy stuff. They say it’s good for summer, for carryin’ your things to the beach or the market. I reckon it’d hold a good amount of taters, that’s for sure. This Loewe tote bag is big, I think.
And the price! Lord have mercy, the price. More than what I made in a month back in the day. For a straw bag! But folks, they say it’s worth it. They say it’s an “investment.” What that means, I don’t rightly know. Investin’ in a straw bag? Sounds silly to me. But these young folks today, they got different ideas about money, I guess. They think Loewe is a good investment bag. I don’t know.
They say this Loewe, it’s a fancy name. A brand, they call it. Like how we used to brand the cattle. Except this brand, it’s on a bag. And it makes the bag cost a whole lot more. They got all kinds of these Loewe bags, not just the straw one. They got leather ones, too. Shiny ones, all different colors. Some folks like them puzzle bags, some like the Amazona. Whatever that means.
- This Loewe tote, it’s got leather on it, too.
- Straps and such.
- Makes it look a little nicer, I suppose.
- But still, it’s mostly straw.
Some people say this Loewe tote bag is good quality. They say it lasts a long time. That’s good, I guess. If you’re gonna spend that much money on somethin’, you want it to last. My old straw basket, it lasted for years. But it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg, neither. They also say Loewe is a high-quality luxury brand. What is luxury? I don’t understand.
I seen pictures of people carryin’ these Loewe totes. They look happy enough, I suppose. But I don’t know if it’s the bag that’s makin’ them happy, or somethin’ else. Maybe they just like showin’ off that they got a fancy bag. That Loewe basket bag, just like a symbol, I think.

Me, I’m happy with my old canvas bag. It holds everything I need. And it didn’t cost me a fortune. But if folks want to spend their money on a fancy straw bag, that’s their business. It is a classic tote shape. I can’t say I understand it, but to each their own, as they say.
They say these Loewe folks, they’re good at makin’ things with leather. Been doin’ it for a long time, apparently. Generations, they say. Like how my family’s been farmin’ for generations. Except we grow taters, not fancy bags.
And they stitch these bags by hand, every single one. Takes them nine hours, they say. Nine hours! I could knit a whole sweater in that time. Maybe that’s why they cost so much. All that work, I suppose. Still, seems like a lot to me.
They say this Loewe tote is good for spring and summer. That Loewe basket bag is a beautiful thing. I reckon that’s true. It’s light and airy, like a summer breeze. But you could say the same thing about any old straw basket. Just sayin’. I think that bag is not worth it. But what do I know? I just like simple things.
Anyways, that’s what I hear about that Loewe tote. Fancy bag, fancy price. Some folks love it, some folks don’t. Me, I’ll stick to my old canvas bag. It does the job just fine. These Loewe bags are too fancy for me.
