A few months ago, I acquired the new black Amazona 180.
When it was first announced, I honestly didn’t think I liked it. Then I saw it in person when the collection launched and immediately fell in love.

I’m not really a black handbag girl, but it was my favorite of the original colorways, so black it was. I’m also not usually a silver hardware girl, which made it even more surprising how much I ended up loving the silver hardware on this bag. Fast forward a few months and I can confidently say it’s become one of my favorite bags in my collection.

At the same time, I had my eye on the new Joya pouches from the moment they were released. The problem was that I didn’t love any of the original colors. I told my SA that the second they released a fun color, I would be in trouble.

Well… trouble arrived in the form of this amazing lemon yellow. 🍋

The second I saw it, I knew I had to have it.

When I went into the boutique to pick up my Joya pouch, my SA had something waiting for me.

This navy suede Amazona 180.

She knows me entirely too well.

Navy has always been one of my favorite colors (second only to green), and the second she showed it to me I knew I was in danger. I tried to be responsible. I reminded myself that I already owned an Amazona 180. I gave it a few days. I left the store without it.

Then I spent the next few days thinking about it nonstop.
The navy suede feels completely different from the black leather version, even though they’re both the small size, which I still think is the perfect size. The suede gives it a much softer, more casual feel, and I love how rich the navy color looks in person.

Needless to say, I eventually gave in and brought her home.
I also picked up the new donut chain in silver and gold, and it looks absolutely amazing on the navy Amazona. The mixed metals and slightly different shape add just the right amount of interest, and somehow it feels like it was made for this bag.

To finish off the Joya pouch, I added the new puffer fish dice charm, which might be one of the cutest Loewe accessories I’ve seen in a while.

As if the bags and accessories weren’t enough, my SA also sent me home with the new Issue 11 of the Loewe magazine, along with the companion issue celebrating Loewe’s 180th anniversary. The format has changed a bit from Jonathan’s editions, but it’s still such a fun part of the Loewe experience. I’ve always loved the creative side of the brand, and I’m looking forward to spending some time flipping through both.

So now I need your help:

**What charm would you put on the navy suede Amazona 180?**

I’ve included photos of both Amazona bags, the Joya pouch, the puffer fish charm, and the two new magazines.

Also, at what number of Loewe bags should I start being concerned?

Asking for a friend. 😂

I decided to do Time Your Way because I have wanted an Hermes watch but couldn’t find the perfect combo for me. I went back and forth between options for almost an hour and was even about to buy a second watch (the Arceau) when I decided to go with the rose gold small Cape Cod. The first time I visited they did not have a rose gold version available and I assumed that rose gold was really ROSE gold. For this reason I was almost set on getting the silver/diamond combo. But when I returned I saw the rose gold in person and realized that it was more like a champagne gold and perfectly matched my other gold jewelry. I knew I wanted a green strap but also added the orange as a fun pop of Hermes color. For some reason it would not let me add the orange as the extra strap so I made it the main one and will switch when it arrives. But I am very happy with my purchase. Can’t wait to get her!

What do you think? Have you done Time Your Way? Would love to see your watch!

Already owned the little cowboy hat and the first twilly. Picked up the new yellow/purple one and matching scarf today with the bag. Haven’t seen them on the website yet. So happy with my purchase 🤗

Paired here with my blackberries charm. It’s also available in silver. AND there’s a necklace version if that’s more your speed. Love it!

Here are my bags for reference. Show me what you would pair with them to complete the collection!

Shoutout to everyone for the tips the other day. I decided to keep the Small Fondant Andiamo and wait for a dark colored leather Giorno at a later date. Added a cat charm and my initials that just came today. Getting the initials clipped on the bags might be one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I also worry that it will damage the leather… Good thing there is a lifetime warranty on the Andiamo!

I would love to see your current favorite scarf. Show me in the comments 🥰

Man this things is HEAVY! You can definitely feel the weight of the beads on the bag. It’s very cute. It has a bit of a scent to it, like it’s new but almost like when you open a bathing suit fresh out of the packaging. A bit of a chemical scent. The charm is also very heavy and definitely feels bigger than any of my Loewe charms. The packaging/dust bag is quite cool. Not quite plastic but not fabric either. Almost like a soft paper. I am 5’5.5” for reference. Still want to get a loafer bag. If you’ve tried JWA before I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi Friends, just like everyone and their mom, I have had my eye on an Andiamo in fondant forever. I knew I liked the Small size but I had never pulled the trigger. This past weekend while traveling I popped into Bottega to try on the new Mini size to compare. I immediately ruled it out as I thought it would be too small for my needs (but I thought you guys would want to see the size comparison on me - I am 5’5.5” for reference).

So then, my dilemma. The SA pulled out the gorgeous new Giorno bag and I immediately fell in love with it. I love holding it and it looks so great in fondant also. The other available colors are suede and I’m not sure that works and have heard others say the quality of Bottega’s suede is not as good. I ended up leaving with the Small Andiamo in Fondant. But I’m wondering if I made the right decision. Now that I have her home I am questioning if I should have got the Giorno. And maybe get the Andiamo in a different color… like Midnight. I have always wanted a navy bag from Bottega. But the SA said there were very few Midnights left in the country.

One of the deciding factors was that the Andiamo has a lifetime warranty and the Giorno, being new, only has a 2 year warranty right now. Would love to hear your guys thoughts if you have either of the bags. Thanks!
