Bag of the Week is a franchise that highlights the latest, most hyped luxury bags. Each week, we showcase a bag that is generating significant buzz, whether for its design, exclusivity, or popularity. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the Loewe Whisker Bag.
Elongated zippers or whiskers? Loewe channels whimsy and the unexpected into the everyday. Creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez put play at the heart of their Fall/Winter 2026 collection, reminding us that fun and sophistication can happily coexist.
With its slouchy silhouette and structured top handle, the Whisker Bag strikes a balance between ease and refinement. Designed to retain its relaxed shape whether full or empty, it moves effortlessly through the rhythms of daily life. Its innovative construction moulds to the wearer’s body, making it a natural companion for the working day or a treat at your favourite café.
And when the workday is over, there’s no need to reach for another bag. The Whisker features a main zipped compartment, a concealed flat pocket and a detachable strap, allowing it to shift from shoulder bag to handbag or crossbody with ease. Consider it a practical addition to the modern working wardrobe, minus the fashion fuss.
The Whisker Bag comes in two styles. The first is crafted from soft, glazed calfskin with a subtle sheen that complements its relaxed character. Whether you’re a corporate executive or a freewheeling creative, there’s a colour to suit your style: timeless Black, romantic Carmine Red for date night, rich Cognac Brown to complement your Sunday coffee, or Vanilla, a buttery yellow for those drawn to softer, light-hearted pastels.
For a bolder statement, Loewe offers the check intarsio style, crafted using intricate leather marquetry. The result is a vivid interplay of precision and playfulness, bringing a little more personality to the design.
Here, the Whisker Bag captures what Loewe does best: turning the unexpected into something effortlessly desirable. Take Junei, who wears the Vanilla colourway with an eye-catching ensemble of a checked vest, a pop of orange and minimal accessories. She lets the bag do the talking. The joyful yellow picks up on her charming smile, while its pairing with the checked pattern brings energy and a youthful lift to the look.
