Founded in Spain in 1846, LOEWE is the second-oldest luxury fashion house in the world. Since 2025, the House is under the creative direction of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, guided by a rich artistic sensibility and an imaginative exploration of craft. This new chapter builds on core sensibilities of LOEWE: an intellectual and playful approach to fashion, the vibrant spirit of Spanish lifestyle, and unmatched leather expertise.

Steeped in art and historical references, rooted in craft and tradition, Loewe has been reinventing leather craftmanship for almost 200 years. From its birth in Madrid in 1846 to its latest collection dedicated to the elegance of Chinese monochrome ceramics, the Maison’s journey has been defined by its core values: energy, creativity, and a thoroughly modern approach blended with traditional techniques. Craft at Loewe is unconditionally bound up with art, an endless source of inspiration: from the British Arts & Craft masters to the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli, art is at the heart of every collection – and the House is committed to supporting the artists and creators informing its work. Today, Loewe’s master artisans combine their craft knowledge, accumulated over generations, with new technologies to produce iconic objects presenting both instant appeal and enduring style: true incarnations of Loewe’s ideals and vision.
