The story of Loewe dates back to 1846, with the founding of a leather goods workshop in Calle Lobo (now known Calle Echegaray) in the heart of Madrid. In 1872, German artisan Enrique Loewe Roessberg came to the Spanish capital Madrid and set up in partnership with the workshop. Twenty years later in 1892, now known as E. Loewe, the firm opened a shop in the city’s Calle Príncipe. Its huge advertising poster became an icon of its day and this budding leather goods business finally caught the public eye.

Today, Loewe is in the midst of an ambitious modernisation plan with a new creative director.
