There’s no stopping Jonathan Anderson and the team at Loewe lately. Season after season, collection after collection, the brand introduces a covetable selection of bags (and accessories) that thrive on both innovation and classicality. It’s that commitment to Loewe’s storied history of craft that shines once again for Pre-Spring 2023.
The Chinese Monochrome Collection
A huge part of the Pre-Spring 2023 selection hails from the new Chinese Monochrome Collection. This collection not only speaks to Loewe’s history but also puts a spotlight on the ceramic techniques of China’s ancient Ming and Qing dynasties. The brand is committed to preserving its history in artisanal craftsmanship. It also devotes resources to celebrating the craft of other artisans around the world through various partnerships and collaborations as well as through the Loewe Foundation.
An ode to the power and beauty of a single hue
This collection does just that, tapping into the art of an ancient technique. China’s ancient ceramics are known for their precision and elegance thanks to the techniques that have been refined for generations. Through experimentation and painstaking attention to detail (just like Loewe’s artisans), craftspeople have perfected this craft, aiming to capture the colors of nature, which has been the inspiration behind Loewe’s stunning new bags.
The Story of Monochrome
Monochrome ceramics are notable thanks to their clean silhouettes and lack of ornamentation, and the bags in this collection ooze a similar feel. Beautiful shades of pale purple, yellow, ruby red, and more appear on Loewe’s most-loved silhouettes like the Puzzle, Hammock, Goya, Flamenco, and more. An ode to the colors of nature, bags from the Monochrome collection feature tonal hardware and adorable porcelain bunny charms in ten monochromatic shades. Melding an age-old process with Loewe’s storied artisanal savoir-faire, the Chinese Monochrome collection begs to be seen. Discover more via Loewe.
