It is a quite typical portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centered on a background quarterly (meaning town rank) of purple and yellow. The coat of arms is sable three corn ears or lined sable leaved vert and tied gules on a bordure argent eight grape bunches purple lined sable and leaved vert. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE LOUSADA".

The toponym has to do with slate (lousa, in portuguese) but there is no trace of it on the arms.
