Often, the Loewe plaque is metallic but if you look at some earlier models, like for instance Beige, there is branded leather plaque instead. And you know what? If the metallic hardware you see on the bag is gold, you can think that to be real gold plate.

Interior
Days when you wish to travel light? Then this piece is ideal for you. Due to its Nappa leather lining, which is incredibly soft, you can put all your essentials at one place and still it won’t be heavy. For day-to-day use, it’s a feather light option, especially size 22.
It doesn’t feel like an unorganized mess; it opens to reveal one main compartment, which has internal dividers making 3 compartments, also there’s a small zipper pocket and one popper fastened slip pocket. This all add the trait of functionality to the unstructured shape of Flamenco. Although the Nappa interior is great in quality, this type of leather is prone to damage like scratches.
