Until about a decade ago, Loewe was a little-known 170-ish year old Spanish leather house with a touchy-feely penchant for nice suede the colour of Iberian sand, and the Achilles tendon of a pretty much unpronounceable name. In the interim, it's been catapulted to multi-billion Euro fashion prominence, through collections that clashed eras, recontextualised surreal as accessories, and via the Puzzle, one of the few genuinely inventive handbag designs of the 21st century.
The Puzzle bag, blending architectural precision with everyday functionality, signifies Loewe's revival under Jonathan Anderson, becoming a modern classic in luxury fashion.
