Loewe is the history of a unique family dynasty. In the 1960's, the firm had been managed by three generations of the Loewe family. This fact has provided the firm with tradition, continuity and stability despite historical events and has also contributed enomously to the success of the House for more than 150 years.
The project Loewe Archives began in 1996, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the Spanish luxury house. At that time, a process of acquisition and classification of Loewe's products was initaited. Since then, hundreds, of pieces have been acquired throughout the world with the aim of gathering the heritage of the mythical Spanish House.

The Designer
German-born Tomäz Maier took the helm in 2001 and revived the flagging brand by injecting a more modern feel and reworking the traditional woven leather signature.
The Look
At $3,000 per bag, the Bottega handbag boasts classic clean lines, the softest leathers, and a classic palette rather than trend-driven designs. Bottega is most known for its hand-woven leather bags, belts, and shoes. Maier's ready-to-wear women's line possesses the same timeless, ultra-luxurious look.
