The Spanish brand Loewe, established in Madrid in 1846, was initially a cooperative of leather artisans, which was then consolidated into one workshop by Enrique Loewe Roessberg in 1872. This Spanish luxury brand remains based in Madrid and is still a leader where leather craftsmanship is concerned. The label has managed to evolve with the times, offering ready-to-wear that incorporates leather into most of its avant-garde collection, from patchwork-style leather tops to the eye-catching suede leather optical-illusion tops.
