Leather craftsmanship has always been at the heart of Loewe, which was founded in 1846 in Madrid, where its leather workshop still resides. Since the arrival of creative director Jonathan Anderson, the brand has introduced numerous classic handbag styles, each showcasing exquisite creativity and craftsmanship, making them must-have items in many wardrobes. Although Jonathan Anderson has announced his departure, he still presented the new Madrid handbag in this year’s spring/summer collection. Let’s take a look at what makes this handbag so captivating!
The new Madrid handbag, debuting at the 2025 Spring/Summer Women’s Fashion Show held at the Château de Vincennes in Paris, is named after Madrid, as the name suggests. This handbag combines both fashion and practicality, featuring a soft trapezoidal silhouette crafted from high-quality smooth leather. It has large pleats on both sides, while the body of the bag is cinched with a thick leather rope strap, which is cushioned at both ends with soft shoulder pads, adding to its texture and detail.
The handbag is crafted from specially developed calfskin with a smooth texture that reveals a subtle sheen, lined with Napa leather inside. The bag features an eye-catching long zipper that adds a touch of asymmetric beauty, and a magnetic snap closure embellished with a luxurious gold Pebble for an elegant accent. The Madrid handbag is available in three sizes—large, medium, and small—focusing on practical capacity, and comes in various colors including black, deep burgundy, olive green, and burnt red, each offering a distinct style and promising to enhance fashionable possibilities for different looks.
