This new chapter builds on core sensibilities of LOEWE: an intellectual and playful approach to fashion,



the vibrant spirit of Spanish lifestyle, and unmatched leather expertise.
From its birth in Madrid in 1846 to its latest collection dedicated to the elegance of Chinese monochrome ceramics, the Maison’s journey has been defined by its core values: energy, creativity, and a thoroughly modern approach blended with traditional techniques.
Radical and ever-evolving: here’s to another 200 years of Loewe history
Through a redesign of the brand identity, a modern articulation of its commitment to craft (with the launch of the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize, for instance), and a series of critically acclaimed and genre-defining Women’s and Men’s collections, Loewe has been further elevated as an influential and general cultural force.
At the intersection of fashion, craft and culture, Loewe’s ambition is to be radical and ever-evolving. Craft and luxury are inextricably linked, and at Loewe, the one makes the other feel more accessible and tangible. And by adding a cultural dimension – involving fine arts, film, dance, etc. –, Loewe has become a vibrant force for creativity and innovation, ensuring the brand’s durability for another 200 years… and more.
