At a glance
The checked Loewe Compact Hammock in classic calfskin, model A538H13X10, measures H20.8 × W14.4 × D19.5 cm. Its sides fold in and out, and an internal hook closes the bag. This matters when comparing photographs: a folded outline and an expanded outline can look different without identifying a different size.
Start with the model, then compare its changing outline
Loewe describes the Compact Hammock’s flexible sides as folding in and out to create different silhouettes. The checked black classic-calfskin version has an embossed Anagram, palladium-colour hardware and a herringbone cotton canvas lining.
Because the sides change position, compare like-for-like views: front and side with the wings folded, then the same views with them expanded. A single wide-looking photograph does not establish that a bag is a larger Hammock. The model code and measured configuration give a firmer basis.

Read 20.8, 14.4 and 19.5 in their stated order
The official page labels Height 20.8 cm, Width 14.4 cm and Depth 19.5 cm. Depth is greater than the listed width; changing the order to make the numbers resemble a familiar width-first listing would change their meaning. The page also lists a weight of 0.5 kg for this version.
These measurements do not specify every expanded-wing span or usable interior dimension. If a rigid case is important, request the opening width and base space in the configuration you will use. Neither the folding sides nor the exterior dimensions alone guarantee that the case passes through the opening.

Three ways to carry, with three different measurements
The official design supports hand, shoulder and crossbody carry with a detachable, adjustable strap. Its details give strap length 78–85 cm, strap drop 47–50 cm and handle drop 10 cm. Keep these three lines separate: full strap length and hanging drop are different measurements.
For everyday use, compare the relevant drop with a bag that already sits comfortably on you. A detachable strap also makes the included strap and its attachment points worth checking for a supplier item; a brand-level styling suggestion cannot confirm what comes with that SKU.

An internal hook is not a magnetic fastening
The official Compact page specifies an internal hook closure, an external zip pocket and two internal slip pockets. The external zip pocket does not make the main opening a zip closure. Ask to see the top secured, as well as the pockets, when judging access.
KU-BA05B299’s supplier description instead records a magnetic fastening and an adjustable shoulder strap. That is a real difference in the available descriptions. It is not resolved by the shared Hammock name, and this article does not overwrite the supplier record with the official hook specification.

What to request for the catalogue reference
The catalogue gives KU-BA05B299 as 15 × 22.5 × 22 cm without labelled axes and lists Cowhide leather as supplier-described. Its light-coloured photograph shows exterior zips, while the source used above concerns a black official Compact. No exact official model match is established.
Request labelled dimensions with the sides folded and expanded, a photograph of the actual main fastening, and the adjustable strap’s length and drop range. Use the SKU to keep those answers attached to the right reference. Brand identity remains unverified, and neither the official lining nor the 0.5 kg weight is transferred to this item.

Questions & answers
What size is the checked Compact Hammock?
Loewe lists H20.8 × W14.4 × D19.5 cm for classic-calfskin model A538H13X10. Preserve those axis labels when comparing it with other listings.
Does the main opening close with a zip?
The checked official model uses an internal hook. Its exterior zip is for a separate pocket.
Can the official Compact Hammock be carried crossbody?
Loewe lists hand, shoulder and crossbody carry, with a detachable adjustable strap. Check the stated drop against your own preferred fit.
Why does the catalogue reference mention a magnet?
That is the supplier description for KU-BA05B299. It differs from the official model’s hook and needs confirmation from the exact item, rather than correction by assumption.
