Loewe, a Madrid-based brand founded in 1846, is considered the Hermès of Spain. Not too shabby! Spanish leathers are known to be some of the very best (Dior bags are constructed in Spain) and Loewe is no exception. We went crazy at their flagship Madrid boutique last year, picking up belts, bags and scarves. The quality is is exceptional and you don’t have to take a second mortgage on your home for indulgences.
The bags of Loewe’s Paris show, heavy on boxy little leather suits, prim coats, and fluffy furs, were as high-gloss as the leather jackets. Three main shapes emerged, all based on a hard, square shape and most with small hand-held straps: A doctor bag style, in luxe suedes; a structured shoulder bag; and a boxy mini-tote. The spiffy stiffness of these styles is the antithesis of the slouchy hobo – not a hint of hippie-chic here. And despite some bold colors, part of Lowe’s appeal is in the lack of showiness. No imposing logos, just good, old-fashioned, European luxury.
Diggin’ the orange doctor bag!
Love them all! Very stylish and yet still sensibly classic. They are timeless that any woman should look great carrying one of these!
Simply sumptuous bags!
Really enjoying your blog. I’m just beginning to regain some femininity and me time once again now that my 4 year old boy twins are letting me. The bags are fabulous.
The brown suede doctor’s bag is gorgeous. The orange bags are right up my alley.
I have never seen these at my local Saks, Nordstrom’s, or Neiman’s. Where can one find the bags and see them in person.
I adore how structured they are. Especially with the contrasting soft leather (I’m looking at the red and the camel bag)… Oh, swoon.
Thank you Tina for introducing me to this brand! I have one on its way to me on approval – I’ve never heard of this brand before, but they look so amazing I just had to get one!
You’re very welcome, which bag did you get on approval? Share with us when you get it! xoxo
Thank you, Sabi! Twins are tough… glad you’re able to have time to yourself again! xoxo
a tri-color Amazona bag. I don’t like handhelds, but this was beautiful! I love it and it is a keeper. The quality is indeed amazing, and the interior made of leather!!
There is only one store in the US and it is located in Honolulu. Although I have heard that there are a couple of department stores that are starting to carry some styles. Bergdorf Goodman I think. You can purchase them online. I live in Honolulu and have several of their bags. The quality is amazing. They are beautiful.
