Loewe Hammock small bag Review + What Fits + Pros & Cons + Mod Shots

[@gmagain]

i love the hammock! so underated. i seriously never see any bloggers wearing it which makes me love it even more! where i live, i have never seen anyone carrying it. the puzzle yes, the basket yes but the hammock never. i have it in 3 different colors!

[@loyayyay]

Wow, three of them! Love it! 😍 You're absolutely right, very underrated bag, I also love how not popular it is with the general public.

I’ve had this bag for over 5 years but I’ve used it twice since. It’s very awkward for me but it’s so pretty I can’t get myself to sell it sooo… yeah, it’s just there in my closet 🤣 Thank you for your honest review! I totally can relate to it 😊

[@loyayyay]

Hahaha, I feel you! I don't wear it often, but I can really appreciate the beauty of this bag. 😍 For me it's not going anywhere!

[@sarahshaw-sehgal1146]

SIGH you bring up so many good points 😭😭😭 thank you so much for your honest review

[@loyayyay]

I'm sorry and you're welcome. 😅

[@bagsandlifestyle]

Thanks for the video. I’ve been considering the Hammock bag. I’ve been trying to watch all the informative videos I can. Your video hit all the major points.

[@loyayyay]

Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful. :)

Such a thorough review, always enjoy whenever I listened to another small Hammock fan! I found mine one in a consignment store few months ago, it was the prettiest teal/ dark blue I have to had it. Couldn't agree more with how beautiful the bag is and I found it super practical as I could always make last-min grocery run and small things (even some tall veggies) fit just fine thanks to its open top Have you consider the gravity causing the bulge at the bottom, though? (since it pulls the weight of the leather down when the bag being left hanged and the design of the bag is kinda bottom-heavy already). I wonder abt it since mine is an old bag from 2019 but there's little to no sagging/bulging on the bottom when I bought it, and I've been storing it just as is and so far nothing changed in terms of the integrity of the structure

[@loyayyay]

Thanks for watching! The Hammock in blue sounds amazing. 💙 It's good to hear yours has been holding up well in 'standing' storage. When I had mine standing I felt like the front and back panel started to cave inwards. Have to say I didn't stuff the bag though, because of the inward moving flaps getting smushed. But it's been hanging in my closet for 2 years now and the base is still going strong. 💪 Best would probably be a combination of supporting both the panels and the base, perhaps with two bag standards, taking one handle each and then resting the base on the ground.

@@loyayyay ah, make sense, thanks for the thorough explanation. I feel this bag design is one of the oddest and trickiest to maintain, yet one of the most unique that I feel will stay forever in my collection

[@loyayyay]

Haha, I feel exactly the same! 💯

[@candycottons9492]

Thank you for this detailed review Lo! Totally agree with you Loewe Hammock bag is not for everyone, i tried the mini version and it did not work out for me at all unfortunately but i still appreciate the very unique shape and Loewe craftsmanship

[@loyayyay]

Thanks! I love your Puzzle hobo by the way, so stylish!

[@candycottons9492]

@@loyayyay thank you xx I have surprised myself how much I like this bag haha

[@dan_ta_lion]

Thanks for the review, I was considering adding the hammock in my wishlist as with other loewe bags, love the style but the shape is not for me,

[@LL-et3yk]

I have this bag now, love it, and want to take it with me on my next trip but the fact that this bag has essentially nothing to completely close it is killing me 😭 do you have an insert you’ve found that might work to give some added security? I mainly wear it crossbody

[@loyayyay]

Hi! Unfortunately I haven’t found something specifically for this bag. 😔 There’s only these base shapers it seems. My quick and dirty solution has been to use a toiletry/make-up bag with a loop so I can attach it to the clasp inside the bag. It’s not big enough to fill the whole bag, but at least it keeps my valuables safe. I‘m thinking about getting a nylon bag organizer with a zipper, because I think this bag might be better off with something flexible instead of a felt organizer. I still have to figure out the right size, but something like this; www.amazon.com/Vercord-Expandable-Handbag-Organizer-Grey/dp/B07KFYPZLT/

[@LL-et3yk]

@Lo Yay Yay thank you so much! Im going to give the organizer a go. I got a bit excited and also ordered an insert for an hermes lindy and a silky drawstring dustbag to use with it.I'd much prefer a zipper but hopefully it works. I'm also hoping the insert doesn't provide too much structure 😂

[@hildeh6423]

12.06 in this video is a bag insert with a zipper. Maybe that would be of interest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqDcqoJ4ecySZq8

[@loyayyay]

@@hildeh6423 That looks briljant! Thanks for sharing!

[@LL-et3yk]

@@hildeh6423 thank you for sharing!

[@niapop]

I go back and forth on this bag but ultimately like you say, because it’s not as secure I don’t think I could go for it. 😢

[@loyayyay]

I understand! I love this bag, but I have to be super cautious wearing it out. 😥

[@-AutumHall]

Hello, I only bring a card holder, keys, sunglasses and phone. Do you think this size would work or should I do the compact size?

[@loyayyay]

Hi! I’ve never tried to compact, so I find it a bit difficult to judge. I carry approximately the same in my bags and I think it’s fine for the small Hammock because I wear it with the wings tugged in. That takes up quite a bit of space and the bag will look funny if you overstuff it with the wings tugged in. Wings out I think you might be able to go with the compact as well, because then it becomes more spacious, but I’d have to recommend trying it out.

[@jayemcarlos578]

Love this!!

[@loyayyay]

Thanks! 🥰

[@andrewbriddell7962]

Is this the soft grained or classic? I am looking for the one that has a "texture" to it. Its for my wife. She ordered one and it was smooth and she didnt like it vs what we saw at the store. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@loyayyay]

Hi! This is the classic. They currently sell the satin, classic and soft grain. Satin is very smooth, classic has a bit of texture (but looks smooth from a distance) and soft grain has a noticeable grain. Hope that helps!

[@andrewbriddell7962]

Thank you! That was very helpful. New bag ordered.. FYI - their customer service through Messenger was excellent for ordering.

[@loyayyay]

Great to hear, hope your wife will enjoy the new bag!

[@andrewbriddell7962]

TY. She loves it.. Any advice on an insert for this bag? You mentioned it and wasn’t sure if you found a good solution. It would definitely be “better” if it had a better latch system. Thank you again for your help.

[@loyayyay]

@andrewbriddell7962 Happy to hear she loves it! I'm afraid I've never found the proper bag insert and stopped looking for it, so no advice there.

[@renat-filosofo]

Love your review but it’s pronounced as Lo-weh-ve.

[@loyayyay]

Thanks for watching! I've tried to be more mindful of pronunciation in later videos, but this is a hard one for me. 😅
