At a glance
On the checked Loewe Gate model 321.12.T19, the front flap pulls in under the knotted belt, and the interior has compartments separated by a dividing slot. Its published 99–114 cm measurement is strap length, not drop. These details help frame an opening and carry check, but should not be assigned to every Gate or Gate Dual listing.
The knot is part of the opening arrangement
Loewe’s Gate family page links the name to a side-latched metal pin and describes the knotted front belt closure. The specific Steel Blue 321.12.T19 product page says the flap pulls in under the knotted belt and describes a leather strip hanging from the side pin.
For a practical comparison, ask to see the flap both closed and lifted, with the belt visible in each position. This establishes the access route more clearly than a straight-on closed photograph. The source explains the arrangement; it does not supply a timed access test or a security rating.

Divided storage and an adjustable leather strap
The model page describes soft grained calfskin, a bonded gold suede lining, interior compartments with a dividing slot and a large back slit pocket. It also specifies an adjustable shoulder strap with cufflinks. The expanded details give strap length 99–114 cm.
That length range is not a 99–114 cm vertical drop. Ask for the actual drop at the intended setting and a wearing photograph if crossbody position matters. Similarly, divided storage can help separate small items, but the usable width of each compartment must be checked against a phone case or long wallet.
Do not silently swap the source’s dimension labels
The expanded page labels its dimensions Height 26 cm, Width 15 cm and Depth 27 cm. This is an unusual axis arrangement for the pictured saddle shape. We retain those labels as published rather than swapping width and depth to make the figures look more familiar.
Until the axes are clarified for the exact model, these figures should not be used for a capacity calculation. The broader family page mentions detachable leather or jacquard straps and different carry options, but that does not establish those fittings for 321.12.T19. This article does not rename that reference as Gate Dual.

What the tan catalogue reference actually establishes
KU-7066C812 shows a tan curved body, flap, front knot and contrast stitching. Its supplier size is 18 × 13 cm; no depth, strap length or interior layout is supplied. The catalogue’s Genuine leather field is store-provided. The photograph supports the visible outline and knot, not the official model’s calfskin species, suede lining or divided interior.
For this SKU, request an open-flap photograph, a view of both interior sides, labelled body measurements and strap drop. Include the size of the item you most need to fit. Brand identity remains unverified, and the official reference serves as a question guide rather than a specification sheet for this supplier bag.

These photographs and records are separate from the official brand sources. Supplier-listed specifications do not authenticate an item or confirm an exact match to a retail model.
Questions & answers
How does the checked Loewe Gate close?
The 321.12.T19 description says the front flap pulls in under the knotted belt. Ask to see the opening action on the exact item being quoted.
Is 99–114 cm the Gate’s strap drop?
No. The official field says strap length. Drop is a different measurement and is not supplied by that field.
Does every Gate have the same lining and compartments?
No such conclusion follows from these sources. The gold suede lining and dividing slot are reported for 321.12.T19, not all Gate-family bags.
Why not correct the official dimensions into a conventional order?
The page explicitly labels H26, W15 and D27 cm. We cannot know which label, if any, is wrong, so the discrepancy remains a request for clarification rather than an invented correction.
