Loewe’s classic Flamenco bag gets an artful update this season as it’s reimagined with sections of precisely crafted skived leather to recall a painterly topographical view in a wondrous homage to the natural world.

Artist Georgia O’Keeffe spent most of her life in northern New Mexico, and her remarkable masterpieces are a response to the shapes she observed near her home at Ghost Ranch. This work, Desert Abstraction (1931), distills the arid landscape into a simple composition of pure color and form devoid of any brushstrokes.
