Debuted at Loewe’s Spring/Summer 2023 show, the Paseo is for everyone—from those who wish to delve into velvet to those whose calendars are filled with alfresco brunches or jaunts to the beach
In Jonathan Anderson’s Spring/Summer 2023 Loewe show, the Paseo bag arrives in three sizes, from small to a capacious extra large, and in a feast of colors including Dark Butter, Burgundy, Light Mauve, Emerald, and Khaki Green. Each bag is adorned with the house’s signature anthurium flower—a glossy and exotic heart-shaped blossom—adding a touch of playfulness and whimsy to this classic accessory. While the anthurium flower may not be present on the Paseo bag off the runway, the elongated bucket shape and soft pleats on each side, finished with trademark Flamenco knots, still create a striking effect.
Ahead, three fabulous ways to incorporate the Paseo bag, available in a variety of sizes and colors, into your summer wardrobe.
Crown jewels
For a black-tie event that calls for sophistication, there’s nothing quite like velvet. This lush fabric exudes a sense of celebration and joy, making it the perfect choice for nighttime fetes. To channel the classic glamor of old Hollywood, opt for a velvet skirt or dress that shimmers and drapes beautifully. To take your look to the next level, choose jewel-tone hues that play up the regal feel of the fabric. And to complete the ensemble, don’t forget the Small Paseo bag in a vibrant emerald or burgundy, with tubular leather handles or metal chain shoulder straps. With this winning combination of velvet and jewel tones, you’ll make an unforgettable statement and become the belle of the ball.
Deliciously pastel
When it’s humid in Manila, the key is to keep things light and breezy. Opt for soft colors and materials that won’t weigh you down. Billowing dresses, gauzy shirts, and sheer fabrics are perfect for summer dressing. To complete your look, embrace the playful side of the Paseo with the medium-sized bag, available in both light mauve and dark butter shades. These refreshing hues are reminiscent of a halo-halo and will perfectly complement your summer wardrobe.
Chic weekender
The XL Paseo bag is the perfect choice if you need something spacious. It has ample room to accommodate your essentials such as a planner, notebook, wallet, keys, and even some snacks. Made of supple nappa in an elegantly-shaped silhouette, this bag is easy to lug to the office during weekdays and around the city on weekends. Take a more minimalist approach with the Paseo bag in classic neutrals, paired with tailored shorts and a crisp white blouse. The understated elegance of the bag adds a touch of sophistication to this classic summer look.
