Loewe's New Squeeze Bag Is Already Reaching Cult Status

published 21 March 2024

As a fashion editor, few things pique my attention quite as much as the emergence of a new cult buy. From the initial runway show and buzzing conversations amongst fashion people to the item's eventual release and ensuing saturation, every step of the process elicits excitement and intrigue.

Having recently spotted a new cult bag making its way into fashion circles, I can't help but shout about it. Appearing in the clutches of so many of my favourite celebrities and influencers, I predict that Loewe's new Squeeze Bag is on its way to It bag status. Introduced in the A/W 23 runway collection and made available for purchase in September last year, the slouchy style was quickly swept up and styled on the streets by fashion month attendees across the autumn/winter season shows.

Spotted on Alexa Chung at a recent gallery trip, the Squeeze bag is becoming a regular on London's streets. Whilst Chung chose to hold on to hers on this occasion, the adjustable strap allows for crossbody or shoulder styling, depending on your preference.

Composed of supple nappa leather, the body of the handbag retains a relaxed and slouchy silhouette that is expertly contrasted by the gold chain handle. Available in nine colours in the small size and six in the medium—plus a summer-ready raffia style, Loewe's Squeeze is set to assert itself as one of the brand's most in-demand designs.
