Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez Reimagine Loewe’s Amazona for 180th Anniversary

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez have reopened a chapter of Loewe’s leather heritage with the Amazona 180, their reinterpretation of the 1975 icon presented for their Spring/Summer 2026 runway debut and released as part of Loewe’s 180th anniversary offerings. Tag-walk listed the piece among new products with a launch message of “Launching February 26,” and by early March the style was being shown as available via LOEWE.com in editorial coverage dated March 5, 2026.

The Amazona 180 is offered in soft calfskin developed specifically for this model and in a suede option. As Fuckingyoung Es noted, the calfskin is “soft with a slight sheen and silky touch.” The suede run includes an archival nod to the original Ante Oro edition in a gold and chocolate pairing described as Oro/Chocolat or Gold/Chocolate, echoing the first Amazona that appeared amid social changes in Spain and was embossed with Vicente Vela’s Anagram in 1975.

Construction preserves signature Amazona codes while shifting the attitude to a more relaxed silhouette. The bag keeps domed side panels and leather piping but softens the stance and consolidates the top carry into a single rounded toron handle. Fuckingyoung Es reported that “the bag is double-sided and meant to be carried open, revealing a new double-L logo that will start appearing across the house’s categories.” Craftsmanship is visible in “two precisely assembled compartments,” a flat interior pocket and a D-ring on the left for personalization, with Fuckingyoung Es adding that “craftsmanship shows in the details.”

Security and versatility are built into the model. Fuckingyoung Es described a concealed system in which “a hidden magnetic closure keeps things secure without disrupting the look.” Bagaholicboy complements that detail, advising lovers of the silhouette to “carry the Amazona 180 intentionally open” while also noting that “a discreet closure hides neatly behind the new Anagram logo for added security. And when full protection matters, leather pulls zip the bag completely shut, delivering total peace of mind.” Carrying options vary by size - Mini, Small and Large - and include a short top handle, a removable shoulder strap and a removable crossbody strap; Bagaholicboy reports that the two larger sizes ship with an additional shoulder strap.

Colorways span classic and seasonal tones with minor spelling variations in reporting: Black; Dark Brown or Dark Chestnut; Royal Azure or Royal Azur; Ink Navy; Daisy Yellow; Lava Gray or Lava Grey; White; and the archival Gold/Chocolate or Oro/Chocolat suede. A line of charms completes the collection. Bagaholicboy published Singapore-dollar pricing of Mini SGD 4,150, Small SGD 6,250 and Large SGD 7,450.

The Amazona 180 stands as a material statement of continuity shaped into renewal, returning a functional 1975 form to modern wardrobes under McCollough and Hernandez’s stewardship. Its mix of a model-specific calfskin, archive-referencing suede and convertible straps signals Loewe’s intention to balance heritage codes with everyday utility as the house moves forward into this next chapter.
