LOEWE has created a series of handcrafted animal-shaped purses, charms, padlocks and bookmarks in time for your Christmas gift idea. The idea for these animals originated in the Loewe atelier last year, when one of the craftsmen working there made a little toy bull using calf leather left over from a bag he had been working on. Just like Loewe’s bags, these animals are the result of over 165 years of accumulated wisdom in leather know-how that has been handed down from generation to generation and is put to use every day by the artisans in the atelier.
The purses are made from refined calfskin, and have been fashioned into bears, elephants and cows using a series of simple origami-like folds held in place by discreet, strategically placed stitches. A zip opens across the spine to reveal the unlined interior that distinguishes so many of Loewe’s bags, while the leather zip-pull forms a tail when closed.
Also made from calfskin, the charms are the same shape as the purses but realized in miniature with a metal chain attached. The bookmarks are built from strips of calfskin topped with the heads of elephants, sheep and dogs.These purses, charms and bookmarks are all available in the same range of colours as the current Amazona collection: forest green, coral pink, violet, magenta, lilac and oxblood.
The padlocks in the series feature the same animal shapes of the purses molded in gold metal. They complement the leather products in the range as the padlock is a signature component of Loewe’s Amazona bag, but of course these handsome locks can also be put to use elsewhere.
As for men, there are some branded scarf, anagram scarf, BARROCO Leaves Wrinkled Scarf, Jacquard Tie, Amzona brief case,Chain & Leather Loop Bracelet, Napa Note book and many others handmade leather accessories.
