Brand Story:
Founded in 1846 as a collective of Spanish leather craftspeople in Madrid, LOEWE is one of the world's oldest luxury houses. It gained international prominence under the leadership of Prussian craftsman Enrique Loewe Roessberg, becoming the official supplier to the Spanish Royal Crown in 1905. The house entered a celebrated modern era with Jonathan Anderson's appointment as Creative Director in 2013, blending its centuries-old leather expertise with playful, surrealist design and contemporary art. Instantly recognizable by its iconic Anagram logo—a stylized four-L mark designed by Spanish artist Vicente Vela—LOEWE is revered globally for architectural leather masterpieces like the Puzzle bag, Bammboo, and Flamenco, standing as a global pillar of intellectual luxury and unmatched leather craftsmanship.
