The project utilizes Loewe's classic smooth, classic calfskin and their textured, soft grained calfskin to create the woven bags and a few leather charms. Featuring both warm, tonal colors and bold hues, a harmony of texture and life ensues. The project is another phase in the house's mission of becoming more sustainable. AVAILABLE NOW AT LOEWE.COM
