In the realm of luxury fashion, few names resonate with the same level of sophistication and timeless elegance as LOEWE. As one of the world’s oldest fashion Houses, the brand has been at the centre of the Spanish luxury leather industry since 1864, captivating the world’s hearts with collections of iconic bags ever since. In honour of the brand’s roots anchored in leather goods, creative director Jonathan Anderson launches an endless stream of bags with need-to-carry status that will stand the test of time. We pay homage to the top three icons we’re styling with our LOEWE ready-to-wear on rotation.

A celebration of LOEWE’s legacy in design innovation, the distinctively geometric Puzzle silhouette pushes the boundaries of traditional leatherwork. This was the first bag designed under the helm of Jonathan Anderson, debuted for the Spring 2015 menswear show (just a year into the Creative Director’s appointment). Spotted on the arms of high-fashion followers and bag collectors alike, the Puzzle is now known as a LOEWE classic icon, one of the House’s greatest heirlooms from the 21st Century. 

Individual pieces of leather are patchworked together to form the geometric, architectural shape. When it comes to wearing your Puzzle, the options are endless to style how you feel. This is not simply one bag, but five, with an array of coveted sizes to choose from. The addition of a fully adjustable and detachable strap means the prime candidate for your new day-to-night companion can shapeshift. From your shoulder and across your body, to being held on your arm as a tote, under it as a flat-pack clutch, or behind you as a backpack. You’ve just found the missing puzzle piece in your everyday wardrobe. 

Despite being one of the newest additions in the LOEWE icon rotation - introduced in Paris for the Spring/Summer 2023 season - the Paseo silhouette is no less loved and very quickly became our It-Bag of last year. Form, fluidity and function join forces to deliver a vision of modern femininity. Fluid yet structural all at the same time, the elliptical silhouette is a stretched take on the typical bucket shape, crafted from nappa calfskin leather which imbues the bag with supple and streamlined qualities. 

With an easy-to-carry lightness, Paseo is an obvious choice to take with you here, there and everywhere, elevating your boardroom to bar ensembles. Ranging from small to blown up XL proportions, choose your fighter depending on how many essentials you need it to effortlessly carry through your day. The adaptable and detachable shoulder strap allows you to also choose which mode you’re in - whether hands free or not. So get carried away.
 

For Spring 2018, ensembles walked down LOEWE’s runway accented with a modern new take on the saddle silhouette which caught our eye. The Gate was first made in Madrid by the House’s master artisans, starting a whole new chapter for the accessories legacy when catapulted to It-bag status. Served up in a variety of colours, dual tones and finishes, you can find one to suit each of your sartorial personalities. 

Epitomising a quietly confident gatekeeper of effortless style, this keeper is so named for the metallic hinge holding the latch in place. Boasting a clean design made out of the finest leather, your new lifelong companion exudes contemporary yet timeless feelings all at once. The Gate is delivered in a range of sizes - from mini and small, to medium and large - adding a little (or a lot) of class on the daily to both off and on-duty outfits. Talk about the perfect plus one to any occasion.
