Introducing the Loro Piana Extra Pocket Pouch
Founded in 1924, Loro Piana has perfected the art of subtle luxury. In a significant stride to securing a more promising future, Loro Piana joined forces with the LVMH conglomerate. Over the years, Loro Piana has earned a reputation for using the finest materials, particularly its premium wool, and cashmere products. However, this commitment to quality extends to its leather products, including its bags, as well as footwear.
Reminiscent of top-handle vanity cases, the Extra Pocket bag aesthetic is minimal and refined. This zip-around, slouchy style crossbody, particularly in the L19 size is a fantastic alternative to the coveted Hermès Mini Kelly or Hermes Kelly Pochette. Similar in size, and with its top handle and strap – it’s no secret that some luxe lovers have since turned to the understated appeal of the Loro Piana Extra Pocket Pouch bag for both its price tag and aesthetic.
Notably, the detachable shoulder strap gives the Extra Pocket bag a practical touch along with the signature top handle. This versatility allows the bag to seamlessly transition from formal events to everyday occasions, without compromising on style or convenience. Plus, as discussed below, Loro Piana offers the Extra Pocket in a variety of sizes and fabrications.
Moreover, when it comes to color and leather choices, Loro Piana has you covered with permutations for nearly every occasion. You’ll find the Extra Pocket Bag in a myriad of hues, ranging from versatile neutrals for everyday elegance to lively pinks for a vibrant touch. For those seeking a twist on classic calfskin, options include ostrich leather, Ayers snakeskin, alligator, faux fur, or even bamboo wicker, and linen designs, offering diverse textures to enrich your handbag collection.
Extra Pocket L11.5 Pouch
Starting with the most petite of the styles, the L11.5 is a much more cube-shaped bag than the other size offerings. With its micro size measuring 3.5″ x 4.5″ x 3.5″, don’t let the dimensions fool you. This bag actually has a much wider opening than anticipated and can hold much more than you might expect. However, it goes without saying that this isn’t the most suitable size option for those who don’t pack light! This perfectly petite piece is sure to elevate any outfit, and is great for evening wear. You’ll most commonly find this size variation in calfskin leather, bamboo wicker, and ostrich.
The Extra Pocket L19 Pouch
Perhaps the most popular size when it comes to the Loro Piana Extra Pocket bag is the L19. Coming in at 4.5” x 8” x 1.5”, the bag is certainly deemed small in size. However, due to its soft leather and roomy interior, you can fit all of your everyday essentials into this chic piece. As always, you will find the Extra Pocket L19 in various leather options, as well as fabric choices – including, classic calfskin, faux-fur, linen, as well as exotic options. Coveted by the luxe lovers and celebrities alike, we can certainly see why the L19 is such a hit.
Extra Pocket L27 Pouch
The largest size bag available in the Extra Pocket range, the L27 comes in at 6.3” x 10.6” x 3.9”, making it the roomiest option. Considerably larger than its smaller counterparts, the L27 should accommodate your daily necessities. The L27 comfortably sits crossbody and looks just as chic hand-held. Also available in a wide array of leathers, materials, and colors – there’s an Extra Pocket pouch for every closet. As with the other sizes of the Loro Piana Extra Pocket, the vanity style design makes for an effortless look for day and night and everything in between.

The New Extra Bag
Available at Loro Piana’s boutique at Siam Paragon since November, the Extra Bag – part of the luxury brand’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collection – represents not only the epitome of craftsmanship, but is also a compact, lightweight, perfectly balanced accessory that is a must-have in a woman’s wardrobe.
When the Extra Bag made its debut in Loro Piana’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collection, the first thing that was evident is that it represents a sophisticated evolution of the Extra Pocket, launched with the Fall/Winter 2019-2020 Collection, which became the maison’s iconic leather pouch bag – a little gem for carrying just a few essentials. The Extra Bag has been designed specifically to easily go from day to evening, out and about in the city or while travelling.
