The Loewe Hammock Bag Deserves More Love

Introduced in 2016 by creative director Jonathon Anderson, the innovative, casual, cool Hammock bag is one of the handbag world’s most distinct and interesting shapes. In a world of revivals and vintage-inspired bags, its unique silhouette is entirely different.

True to its name, the handcrafted Hammock bag takes its shape from the construction of a Hammock, designed to fold and contort its shape. The Hammock has remained a beloved staple in the Loewe line-up year after year, with Jonathan Anderson continuing to revive it.

The Shape-Shifting Intrigue of the Loewe Hammock Bag

Not only have the last few years seen limited-edition iterations like those designed in collaboration with Howl’s Moving Castle and Suna Fujita, but the Hammock has also seen many versions, like the Hammock Nugget, Compact Hammock, and, most recently, the new Hammock Slice.

The Loewe Hammock is truly one of the handbag world’s most uniquely shaped bags, with the ability to quickly morph itself into several different shapes.  Not only that but the bag’s construction and craft are a perfect example of Jonathan Anderson’s continued commitment to Loewe’s artisanal roots, just as the brand’s cornerstone designs do, like the Puzzle and the Flamenco.

Still, it still seems to fly more under the radar, despite its interesting lines begging for a second look. While the Hammock bag falls in a league of its own entirely, blurring the lines between a hobo, bucket and crossbody bag, as the former shapes continue to trend, the Hammock is ready to shine.
