Loewe's New Bags are Made Sustainably From Surplus Leather
The Woven basket bag that first appeared in Jonathan Anderson’s debut Loewe Spring/Summer 2015 collection is back with a sustainable upgrade.
With the release of a series of small size Woven basket bags handcrafted from surplus leather, Loewe launches The Surplus Project, a display in how to re-use, re-think, and re-create something beautiful from the highest quality leather with the lowest impact on the environment. Two of Loewe’s supple leathers—a smooth, classic calfskin, and a finely textured, soft grained calfskin—are braided together into narrow strips of neutral tones and bold colors to give life to mosaic-like artisanal bags and Crab charms.
The Surplus Project follows the recent Eye/Loewe/Nature collection created with a variety of recycled, upcycled and organic textiles, placing Loewe one step further in its journey of becoming a more sustainable brand.
The Loewe Surplus Project Woven basket bags are now available online.
