Loewe opens boutique on Amsterdam’s PC Hooftstraat

Loewe’s first boutique in the Netherlands has arrived, located in the elegant shopping area of ​​PC Hooftstraat in Amsterdam. The space will showcase women’s ready-to-wear, bags, shoes and accessories, including jewellery, small leather goods and sunglasses, over two floors.

Spanish fashion house Loewe, originally a collective of leather workers founded in 1846, experienced a resurgence in 2013 when Jonathan Anderson was appointed creative director. Since taking office, Loewe has grown into a globally loved label in which Anderson strives for a balance between modernity and traditional craftsmanship. With craftsmanship as the starting point for luxury, Anderson creates the most innovative designs.

Spain is the birthplace of Loewe and remains the home of the label. While the current range includes elements from far and wide and the Spanish heritage is expressed in modern ways, Loewe’s heart still beats in Madrid, where all of its world-famous leather goods are still manufactured. But the Dutch no longer have to cross national borders or scroll on the website, because from now on they are also available in the Netherlands.

At PC Hooftstraat 97 in Amsterdam, the Spanish fashion house opened the doors of its very first boutique in the Netherlands last night. Spread over two floors, you will find ready-to-wear for women, bags, shoes and accessories, including jewellery, small leather goods and sunglasses.

Following the Casa Loewe concept, the interior combines art, craft and design. There is also a Dutch touch to the new boutique. For example, there are different variants of Gerrit Rietveld’s iconic ‘Utrecht’ chair in striking colours. In contrast, wooden armchairs by George Nakashima can be found alongside martini tables and handmade rugs.

Loewe and Sotheby’s for Loewe Weaves project

Spanish luxury house Loewe has teamed with Sotheby’s auction house to showcase its commitment to craft through the Loewe Weaves project. The objects presented include artisan-embellished Galician chestnut roasters, bags and accessories for a unique collection that resonates with artisanal craftsmanship.

“Craft is one of my main interests: one that I’ve made central to Loewe’s identity,” says Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of the Spanish luxury house. Each project at Loewe is a way to explore a different aspect of craft. LOEWE Weaves explores the art of weaving, which can be employed as decoration or to build a structure. The main protagonist in the collection is a traditional handmade clay Chestnut roaster pot from Galicia. The holes punched – originally to allow the chestnuts to roast – have been re-appropriated by artists who experiment with different weaving techniques.

From May 1-12, Sotheby’s is exhibiting a selection of handmade pots created by master potter Antonio Pereira and reinterpreted by three artists: Arko (Japan), Min Chen (China) and Laia Arqueros (Spain). The works will enjoy an exceptional showcase in conjunction with Sotheby’s auctions of 20th and 21st century art. Loewe Weaves pieces will be sold at a fixed price on Sotheby’s Buy Now online marketplace from May 1. Loewe becomes the first major luxury fashion house to consign with the platform.

Each handmade pot becomes a canvas for international artists to explore a range of experimental weaving techniques, resulting in a collection that twists the functionality of these objects and gives the discarded materials new life.

Loewe also invited Spanish artisans Idoia Cuesta and Belen Martinez, as well as artisans from Loewe’s own ateliers, to experiment with over 80 chestnut roasters, giving free rein to their imaginations. Faithful to the myriad expressions of the art of weaving the artisans twisted and turned the function of the objects. The holes in the traditional roasters are braided or passed through with ribbons, leather strings, wool threads, straw or feathers, taking on new life. Some artists chose to glaze or paint the surface, while others left the clay untouched.

Each piece recounts a singular story, rewiring the initial function by playfully welcoming abstraction. Many of the materials that embellish the Loewe Weaves roasters are surplus from past Loewe collections. Reuse of excess materials to give them a new and vibrant life perfectly embodies the ethos of the Maison as summed up by Jonathan Anderson: “Authentic craft, for me, is sustainable.”

Loewe Weaves includes a collection of revisited iconic bags and accessories. Available from May 27 at loewe.com and selected stores, the Balloon bag is animated with a garland of flowers crafted from leather offcuts, while the Elephant bag is featured in woven raffia. “Across this whole project, I hope that what comes through is the liveliness and expansiveness of contemporary craft, as well as its playfulness. I am proud we have created singular objects that rewire function through decoration, and the other way round,” concludes Jonathan Anderson.

The main protagonist of Loewe Weaves is the chestnut roaster from Galicia: a series of handmade clay pots crafted by master potter Antonio Pereira (above).

In collaboration with Sotheby’s, selected chestnut roasters will be on display at the auction house’s New York galleries from 1– 12 May, and seven pieces will be available to purchase on the Sotheby’s Buy Now online marketplace.

The chestnut roasters are available in selected Loewe stores worldwide from 27 May. Come into the beautiful world of Loewe.
