Loro Piana has released a “vegetable basket”? Don’t laugh, this bag is even more exquisite than your sofa

If your impression of Loro Piana still lingers on as “the king of cashmere” and “a coat costing tens of thousands”, then you may need to update your perception.

This top Italian luxury brand has recently made another move – the Loom® handbag, debuting in the Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

At first glance, some might mutter: Isn’t this just a “vegetable basket”?

Don’t be hasty. After you truly understand it, you might feel that your leather sofa at home pales in comparison.

I. A Bag Hiding Loro Piana’s Centuries-old Craftsmanship

First, let’s talk about the name of this bag: Loom®.

Loom means “loom”. Loro Piana directly embroidered its “old profession” on the bag.

The inspiration for this bag comes from the core of the brand – fabric. The color tone of the bag body is the color of vicuña hair. What is vicuña hair? It is one of the top fibers of Loro Piana, even rarer and softer than cashmere.

The bag body is made of delicate cotton canvas, while the handle is made of hand-woven leather. The sleek leather elegantly covers the invisible metal rod, fitting the contour of the bag body and cleverly echoing the shape of a “loom”.

To put it bluntly, this is not a bag, but a “loom worn on the body”.

II. Loro Piana’s bags are never for those who “chase trends”

In the world of luxury bags, Loro Piana has always been an “outlier”.

It doesn’t have a big logo, no exaggerated design, and won’t flood the streets. Its bags are never for those who “chase trends”.

Its target users are those who have already passed the stage of needing a logo to prove themselves.

These people buy bags not based on whether they are “in” or not, but on whether they are “good” or not. Is the fabric top-notch? Is the craftsmanship fine? Is it comfortable to carry? Will it deform after a few years?

Loom® handbags are made according to this standard.

There are two sizes: L32 and L25. L25 also comes with a shoulder strap, which can be carried by hand or slung over the shoulder. The interior space is large enough to fit all daily necessities – phone, wallet, keys, lipstick, folding umbrella… everything can be stuffed in.

And its opening and closing method is very special: open and close at will. There are no complicated buttons or cumbersome zippers, just open and close at will. This “effortless” feeling is itself a kind of luxury.

III. This is not the first time Loro Piana has made a bag, but this time it is more “heartfelt”

Many people don’t know that the Loom® handbag is actually not a new appearance.

It first appeared in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection. When it came out, it caused a small stir among those who understand the industry. Because this bag is a tribute to the brand’s century-old fabric heritage.

.

Loro Piana has been making fabrics for over a century, from cashmere to vicuña, from wool to linen. This time, they directly translated the inspiration of “weaving” into a bag, which is equivalent to wearing their roots on their body.

The Loom® handbag from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection is a “revolutionary reinterpretation” based on the original. It retains the classic bag shape, but has been upgraded in terms of materials, details, and color matching.

The bag body in vicuña color, paired with a hand-woven leather handle, looks low-key from afar, but full of details up close.

写在最后

If you ask: Is this bag worth buying?

The answer is: If you understand it, it is worth it; if you only look at the logo, it may not be suitable for you.

Loro Piana’s bags have never been “first-glance beauties”. They are the kind of things that you need to get close to, touch, and use before you slowly fall in love with them.

.

Just like the brand’s consistent tone: understated yet sophisticated, not loud but powerful.

The Loom® handbag is just such a bag.

It’s not a “vegetable basket”, it’s a “loom worn on the body”.
