As comfy as they are, we are sorry to inform that sometimes a rucksack just won’t cut the sartorial mustard. For those occasions when a bag is required but you can’t let your style credentials slip, then a belt bag can raise the fashion stakes. This black textured leather bag comes from the luxury fashion house Loewe who now come under the umbrella of conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). Loewe was founded in 1846 when a group of Spanish leather craftsmen from Madrid were joined by a tradesman named Enrique Loewe. By the early 20th century, the brand had got the royal seal of approval from Alfonso XIII with a wave Hollywood celebrities, including Sophia Loren, Ernest Hemingway and Ava Gardner following suit. Loewe is now under the direction of British designer Jonathan Anderson who transformed the company in 2013 and the likes of Lewis Hamilton and A$AP Rocky have been seen sporting the brand, so you’re in good company. The Puzzle bag is Anderson’s first design for Loewe and is named as such as you can wear it in five ways (we’ll leave it to you to work it out!).
