Loewe Senda


in 1846, a few Spanish craftsmen decide to set up a leather workshop on the current Echegaray Street, a thriving shopping street in madrid at the time. Initially, their production is limited to leather cases, bags, wallets, cigar cases, frames, coin holders, tobacco pouches, etc.
In 1872, Enrique Loewe Roessberg, a German craftsman specialized in leather settles in Madrid. Impressed by the know-how of the craftsmen and the quality of the materials used in that workshop, the young Prussian decides to join them in partnership. On the one hand, Enrique Loewe provides his rigour and work methodology and on the other hand, the Spanish masters share their creativity and craftsmanship knowledge. Loewe is born as a result of this encounter.
