Right off the bat, when you think Loewe, you think leather, right? Like, bags, wallets, belts – all that good stuff. They started way back in 1846 in Madrid, apparently, just slinging super high-quality leather goods. That’s a *long* time to perfect your craft, y’know? You kinda have to respect that longevity.
And it’s not just *any* leather. It’s that ridiculously soft, supple stuff that just screams “I’m expensive, deal with it.” I saw something about their bucket bags, handcrafted in “flawless leathers.” Flawless! Who even uses that word anymore? But it kinda fits, doesn’t it?
Then there’s all this talk about artisan craft. Like, mini bags with innovative weaving techniques. It’s not just slapping a piece of leather together, it’s… art. I mean, they even collabed with LLADRÓ, the porcelain people! Perfumes in fancy ceramic bottles. Sounds kinda boujee, but also, kinda cool?
I was reading something about Jonathan Anderson, the creative director, and how he’s had some amazing moments at Loewe. I mean, red-carpet highlights? That’s when you *know* you’ve made it. He’s clearly doing something right.
Okay, but here’s where it gets a little… scattered. They also make hats! Like, fancy bucket hats and beanies. And clothes! A whole FW25 collection for men and women. It’s like, leather’s their base, but they’ve branched out into, well, everything. I guess that’s how you stay relevant, right?
And, uh, sustainability? Apparently, they’re into that too, which is good. Can’t just be making fancy stuff without considering the planet, I guess. I didn’t see specifics, but it’s mentioned, so… they get points for that?
