We are pleased to introduce a remarkable bag that seems to distill the brand’s origins as a maker of leather goods into a small box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrafted in lustre-suppressed black leather and tailored into an almost square, rigid form, it features a rounded top handle and a gold-toned latch engraved with the Anagram at the front—creating a distinctive presence that sits between a bag and a leather case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat first captivates is its box-shaped structure, markedly different from a typical handbag. Rather than allowing soft leather to drape over the body, it maintains its form by rising in straight lines along all four sides, resulting in a polished, composed look—one that feels as though you are carrying a small object in your hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe lid has a slight bulge, so it is not finished into a perfect cube; instead, it incorporates gentle curves. The top handle that rises from the center is also given ample thickness, lending the overall design a substantial, weighty feel despite its compact size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the black leather, a tailoring approach is used that deliberately showcases brown-toned stitching. Because the stitching is left visible carefully—from the outline of the lid to the base and even the connection points of the handle—it allows the work of the leather artisan, sewing the leather within a design with restrained color, to function naturally as decoration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentered on the front is a vertically elongated gold-toned latch, and within its center is an Anagram engraved with four L’s symbolizing LOEWE. Even with the classic pairing of black and gold, it does not lean excessively toward ornamentation; instead, the maison’s emblem is incorporated as part of the structure itself—an excellent touch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeather tabs extending from the top of the latch are also finished with the same contrast stitching as the main body. As a result, the hardware does not appear isolated, and a smooth visual flow is created—naturally transitioning from leather to metal. In effect, the practical opening-and-closing mechanism itself is completed as design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition, the LOEWE brand name is subtly embossed at the lower portion of the front. From a distance it barely makes a statement; it is only when viewed up close that the brand comes into view, striking a harmonious balance. You will surely appreciate the charm of old-school LOEWE—where the logo is not pushed to the front, and the leather tailoring and form are placed at the forefront.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe base features gold-toned studs at each of the four corners, creating a practical structure that helps prevent the leather surface from contacting the ground directly when the bag is set down. Meanwhile, these fittings correspond with the front latch and the base of the handle, ensuring that the relationship between the black leather and gold remains consistent from every angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen you open the lid, a bright ivory-toned interior appears, contrasting with the exterior. On the back side, there is a flap-style storage compartment crafted in black leather. The result is a carefully constructed piece that reveals an additional internal structure, as if there is another small box within the outer one.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the top of this section, the gold-toned plate bears the words LOEWE MADRID 1846. Taken together—its front old Anagram, the thickened hardware, the box-style structure, and the vintage logo plate—this piece can be positioned as a product from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, particularly centered on the early 1990s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring this period, LOEWE had a deep understanding of leather that still connects to today’s maison, yet its method of expression is more classical. Rather than focusing on softening leather into deformation, the artisanal aspect of accurately cutting the material, sewing it, and completing it as a constructed object remains strongly evident. This piece embodies that appeal in a way that is truly easy to grasp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is also a distinct fascination in how the form reminiscent of a vanity case is made to work as an everyday handbag. By translating the functional shape of a storage box directly into an elegant personal accessory, it creates a presence clearly set apart from ordinary bags.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompact yet full of individuality in its sculptural, three-dimensional form, this is a piece you will especially want to hold if you prefer to enjoy the leather tailoring and the poise distinctive to old luxury—rather than a bag that showcases the brand logo at a large scale. It is also ideal for those who want to incorporate the bag into their styling with a sensibility close to that of accessories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor styling, it looks beautiful even as a single accent with neat jackets, long coats, or an outfit pairing a shirt with wide slacks. If you coordinate it with styles that emphasize vertical lines—such as dresses or long skirts—the bag’s linear silhouette creates a pleasing contrast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoreover, pairing it with structured items such as leather outerwear or a set-up can make the bag’s box silhouette appear even more modern. Without being bound by gender or age, you can incorporate it into your current look with the feeling of carrying a small leather case like jewelry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its box-like structure that protects the leather, precise stitchwork, a latch engraved with the Anagram, and even small internal storage finished as one cohesive piece of design, this piece can be considered a remarkable item equipped with the kind of added value unique to vintage—allowing you to enjoy LOEWE’s leather craftsmanship, honed over many years, in an extremely condensed form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy all means, take this opportunity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LOEWE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49638249103598,"sku":null,"price":128000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/944AF8D9-6134-42C5-97E8-B8B481D07AAE.jpg?v=1790892603"},{"product_id":"special-loewe-006-1001","title":"-SPECIAL- “LOEWE” 80’s-90’s Sculptural black anagram medallion chain bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“LOEWE” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80’s-90’s sculptural black anagram medallion chain bracelet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LOEWE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49638259523822,"sku":null,"price":96800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/5EC981DE-56C0-4D0F-BFC5-D18CBA9D9443.jpg?v=1790892416"},{"product_id":"special-junya-watanabe-comme-des-garcons-007-1001","title":"–SPECIAL– “JUNYA WATANABE” 06AW Sculptural twisted-collar wool long coat","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“JUNYA WATANABE” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e06AW Sculptural twisted-collar wool long coat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom JUNYA WATANABE, who launched the line bearing his own name in 1992 and has built a distinct design language that re-edits existing garments by reworking them from the very pattern and structure itself—while inheriting the philosophy of COMME des GARÇONS—we present a highly rare piece from the 2006 autumn-winter season that transforms a classic long coat into an entirely different expression through a sculptural, three-dimensional collar structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentered on a refined long silhouette in deep black wool, it features a collar that draws large, gently flowing curves at the front. On the back, the collar rises as if folded over itself, creating a sculptural, three-dimensional presence around the neckline and adding JUNYA WATANABE’s signature constructivist sensibility to the coat’s outline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat first captures the eye is the collar design, which presents completely different expressions front and back. Seen from the front, the rounded, substantial collar softly wraps the area around the shoulders. When viewed from behind, the fabric folds inward and rises high, evolving into a complex three-dimensional look reminiscent of layered petals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis collar is not merely an added decorative detail; by deforming the coat’s own collar structure itself, it is elevated into the design. It is a particularly easy and rewarding way to appreciate JUNYA WATANABE’s approach to garment-making—creating three-dimensional form on the body from what might otherwise be flat patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is tailored into a long silhouette that gradually widens from the shoulders to the hem. While the upper body is kept neatly proportioned, the generous volume from below the waist means that with each step, the hem moves quietly, creating rich motion even within an all-black palette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the front, four buttons are arranged vertically, and simple welt pockets are placed on the left and right. With the collar’s form as the main focus and no excess information added to the front body, the entire coat is balanced with remarkable composure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFurthermore, at the back there is a long cut panel running from the center toward the hem, forming a line that naturally spreads to both sides. This creates a beautiful volume from the rear that differs from the calm silhouette seen from the front. In particular, the contrast between the straight line that continues from the center of the back to the neckline, and the collar that folds up and over in three dimensions beyond that, is exceptionally striking—making this a coat whose design intent is clearly conceived all the way to the back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fabric is woven from 90% wool and 10% nylon. Along with the soft, napped feel characteristic of wool, it adds an appropriate amount of firmness to maintain the sculptural form. For the collar’s intricate folds and the long A-line to come together beautifully, the thickness and rebound of the fabric itself are essential. Beyond just the pattern, the fact that the coat completes its form down to the nature of the material is a major added value of this piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegarding the era, it can be confirmed as made in 2006: AD2006 and the style number JR-C053 are listed on the quality label, along with the name JUNYA WATANABE COMME des GARÇONS of that time, the statement from Comme des Garçons Co., Ltd., and specifications indicating Japan. As such, it is positioned as a collection piece from the 2006 autumn-winter season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 2006 autumn-winter season, JUNYA WATANABE strongly emphasized an approach in which existing garments—centered on military wear—are dismantled and then reconstructed into different formats such as trench coats, parkas, and tailcoats. This work clearly reflects that era’s JUNYA WATANABE: a distinctive attitude of reinterpreting familiar clothing from the perspective of structure itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn particular, this individual piece does not directly quote military-like details. Instead, it builds on a more universal black long-coat foundation while adding bold three-dimensional manipulation to the most classic element of all—the collar. That is precisely why it appeals as a piece that balances both seasonality and everyday wear to a high degree.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the sculptural character typical of an archive piece, it also stands as an exceptionally refined black coat when viewed from the front. This is especially recommended for those who wish to incorporate JUNYA WATANABE’s experimental spirit naturally into everyday dressing. It is an item you will want to hold if you are seeking a design that steps a little beyond the quiet stillness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor styling, you can pair the coat with a shirt or a high-neck top and slacks, taking full advantage of the coat’s long, vertical silhouette. You can also create added volume at the hem by combining it with long skirts or wide trousers, bringing it down into a constructed balance that is distinctly JUNYA WATANABE. For footwear, pairing it with leather shoes or long boots will highlight the collar’s form while allowing the overall look to be elegantly styled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom a distance, it reads as a refined long coat; up close, it offers the dual appeal of enjoying complex patternwork. The particular value of this piece is that clear design intent is present even from the rear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a special archive piece that symbolizes the 2006 autumn-winter season—one that brings to life JUNYA WATANABE’s philosophy of reconstructing garments, not by relying on mere eccentricity, but by achieving an exceptionally beautiful result within the everyday form of a long coat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease, take this opportunity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COMME des GARCONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49638274728174,"sku":null,"price":168000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/E473A3D1-1579-40EF-9425-9828C6068C72.jpg?v=1790892497"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/collections\/0011D17E-724C-46B0-8E0E-72ED3A321B40.jpg?v=1790921898","url":"https:\/\/mood-by-link.com\/en-hk\/collections\/20261002look3.oembed","provider":"MOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
