[Sponsored Article] LOEWE’s new Gate bag stormed the spring-summer 2018 collection runway last fall and is taking off at the starting gate of style this season with its saddle inspired design. Firmly in the saddle A modern take on the classic saddle carrier by creative director Jonathan Anderson, the Gate is destined to join the luxury Spanish brand’s growing family of iconic bags. Both practical and eminently covetable, it is the must-have bag of the season. Pared down elegance The stylish crossbody bag features a distinctive rounded design with a unique front-flap. The eye-catching knotted front belt is both functional and decorative, adding an aesthetic ‘of the moment’ look. The pure, pared-down design belies an ingeniously innovative construction method that renders the bag simultaneously structured and ultra-soft. Made in Madrid by the house’s master artisans from the highest quality leathers, the Gate comes with details such as internal partitions and pockets, hand-painted edges, a brass hinge and suede lining, making it the perfect bag to get all your toting needs sorted. Rich hues The versatile Gate comes in rich hues to complement any wardrobe. There’s Midnight Blue and Rust with white stitching for all occasions, or colour block versions such as a fabulous Amber and Grey, Light Grey and Soft Blue, or White and Grey to add pizazz. This sleek bag will undoubtedly add some stable-chic to your regular ensembles. The colours complement the supple tactility of the equestrian-inspired bag, making it as indelible to the hand as it is to the eye. With two sizes and three types of calfskin to choose from, the Gate is your must-have bag this season.
