In France you go to Hermès, in the UK it’s Mulberry – because leather goods are worth spending the moolah on. Loewe has been Spain’s go-to leather label since it set up in Madrid in 1846, and is the official supplier to the Spanish Royal Crown. But a bit dusty, a bit old fashioned, it was largely ignored internationally until it was acquired by the French luxury empire LVMH. With Stuart Vevers (formerly of Mulberry) as Artistic Director, it’s now the classic luxury brand that you want to get better acquainted with. Not only leather goods, but also men’s and women’s ready to wear and accessories under its increasingly expanding belt.
