This or That: Loewe Basket Bag or Celine Classic Panier

A battle of the ultimate summer carryalls...

Loewe Basket Bag versus Celine Panier

By now, it’s become abundantly clear that basket bags are not just a trend; loewe paula ibiza collection fragrace lookbook release info LOEWE ANAGRAM BASEBALL CAP trend cycle, returning to ubiquity year after year as soon as the temperatures begin to climb.

LOEWE JEDWABNE SPODNIE repeat espadrilles loewe shoes black. We’ve already welcomed a new cohort of Loewe Large L Intarsia Crew Knit, but still, I keep coming back to the tried and true. With Memorial Day behind us, I’ve got my eye on two of the best basket bags the luxury handbag world has to offer.

I might not be hopping on a plane to Capri or the South of France, but I’ve decided that this is the season to add one of these seasonal staples to my wardrobe. Why shouldn’t I romanticize beach weekends on Long Island at my parents’ home or my upcoming staycation at a rooftop pool?

I’ve got my eyes on the Loewe Basket Bag and Celine’s Classic Panier, which are incredibly similar when you get down to the nitty-gritty. Let’s discuss!

Loewe Basket Bag

The Loewe Basket bag has become as synonymous with the House of Loewe as the Puzzle bag, and while it feels like it has been part of the brand’s line-up forever, it was actually first introduced in 2017. For me, it’s the one that started it all, putting both Loewe and this now-classic summer staple on my radar.

Loewe’s Basket bag tugs at my heartstrings because it perfectly encapsulates Loewe’s heritage. Crafted in Spain using raffia leaves that have been cultivated, harvested, sun-dried, and handwoven by Moroccan artisans. The bag is further defined by its leather Anagram patch.

Combining traditional elements of artisanal craft with Loewe’s modern allure, it has become an integral part of Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe. anagram is $690 for the medium size (10.4″ x 15.7″ x 6.3″).

Celine Classic Panier

The Celine Classic Panier is a bit newer to the scene. Introduced in the early 2020s, it is similar in construction to the Loewe Basket Bag, crafted from palm leaves and trimmed with leather. It arrives in new colors each season, but I am still thinking about this orange version from a couple of years ago!

Celine’s version combines the seasonal feel of a summer basket bag with the chic French allure of Celine and a hint of House history, as it’s finished with a bold Triomphe Logo. The anagram price for the Teen Size (9″ x 8″ x 6″) is $740.

pantalon homme loewe?

There will always be logo-loving shoppers whose reason to buy designer items is to be seen by others.

Loewe because it has more character and I don’t like the Celine emblem.

I vote for neither of these. Loewve bags are great for their leather but there is no reason to buy this basket when you can get a beauty from Sezane.

If you must buy one of these, I would say Loewe. I feel like Celine bags depreciate so fast, not worth it, IMO.

I own a few basket bags… I purchased the Loewe in brown, the Jacquemus in Ivory, and I have an Anthropology brand one. I’m looking to buy the French backpack basket version also. I’m just obsessed and will buy them with logos and without! I hate the Celine logo tho.
