“We wanted to do something special but also practical, and we wanted the design to have an unmistakable Spanish element,” Penelope told WWD. The sisters’ collection will also feature coin purses and large zip wallets.

The bag is one of the last projects for 39-year-old Vevers who is departing Loewe to take up his new post as creative director of Coach.
