Elephant Raffia Basket Bag

Perhaps in another life, Jonathan Anderson was a zookeeper, that’s judging by his Animale collection for Loewe. The latest addition to the menagerie (seriously, there are whales, rabbits, pigs and more) is the Spanish label’s much-loved Elephant bag. Just in time for summer, whether you’re on safari or closer to home, it’s crafted from raffia to a roomy shoulder silhouette complete with ears and a trunk and signed off with an anagram-embossed leather patch.

• 100% raffia; trims 100% leather

For more than 150 years Loewe specialised in leather and silk. While still renowned for its expertly crafted leather goods, including its now-iconic origami-inspired puzzle fold bags, the range has grown to include a wide range of innovative luxury accessories and ready-to-wear collections that have captured the zeitgeist.
