From the humble beginnings as a leathermaking collective to becoming a leading global brand, our journey has always been defined by an obsessive focus on craftsmanship and an unmatched expertise with leather. Based out of our main workshop in Madrid, which remains in operation to this day, our master artisans combine their accumulated craft knowledge with new technologies and innovative ways of thinking to produce truly modern objects of desire.
The most recent chapter in our story has been marked by the appointment of Jonathan Anderson as creative director in 2013. Since taking the helm, he has spearheaded a major rejuvenation of the house. Through a fresh redesign of the brand identity, a modern articulation of our commitment to craftsmanship with the launch of platforms like the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize, and a series of critically acclaimed and genre-defining Women’s and Men’s collections, the house has been further elevated as an influential and global cultural force.
