-SPECIAL- “LOEWE” 2017-2018 Faces enamel cuff bangle

With craftsmanship cultivated as a purveyor to the Spanish royal family, LOEWE has elevated art, craft, and everyday objects into luxury since Jonathan Anderson's appointment, and we are pleased to introduce an exquisite piece featuring an artistic face motif.

This striking piece, by pairing a glossy silver-tone wide cuff with a woman's face drawn in minimalist lines and pale pink enamel, exudes a presence that is jewelry yet resembles a small work of art.

The square plaque positioned on the front succinctly expresses the contours of the face, the eyes, the nose line, and the mouth with black lines; because the composition relies on the balance of negative space and lines rather than realistic beauty to evoke the image, you can clearly sense the affinity with the art LOEWE strengthened during the Jonathan era.

The soft pink used in the background and the cream-toned enamel reminiscent of skin soften the hardness of the silver-colored metal, creating a palette that is playful yet not childish and adding a measured touch of humor and intelligence to a fashion-forward look.

The cuff itself is a wide structure that envelops the wrist, and the mirror-polished metal catches surrounding light and enhances the front face motif as if it were framed, so it not only serves as an accessory but also completes the wearer's hand as a single, cohesive style.

Inside, the LOEWE monogram logo and MADE IN ITALY inscriptions are visible, and the monogram’s expression, formed from fine, open lines, indicates that this piece belongs to the current logo standard established during the Jonathan Anderson era from 2014 onward.

In terms of dating, it features the new monogram logo since 2014 and a design that matches the Faces motif unveiled in the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, so it can be considered a highly reliable archive piece symbolizing LOEWE around 2017–2018.

The charm of this Faces series lies not only in the charming face-drawn design, but in how LOEWE during the Jonathan Anderson era embodies a crossing of fashion and art, craft and graphics, all condensed into a remarkably small surface.

Also, there are fine speckles and patina on the inner metal due to aging, but the mirror-like exterior and the enamel color fields retain a strong presence, allowing you to enjoy both the glamour of jewelry and the time-honed appeal of an archive piece—an added value unique to this item.

When incorporating into daily wear, rather than overdressing the entire outfit, placing a single artful accent on the wrist naturally highlights LOEWE's intelligent playfulness. It is especially recommended for those who want to add personality to a quiet ensemble or who prefer to enjoy luxury through the beauty of the motif rather than the brand logo.

Styling-wise, pairing it with a simple shirt or jacket creates a refined silhouette with a touch of negative space around the face motif, resulting in a look that is fashion-forward yet approachable. Alternatively, wearing it with a draped dress or a crisp-knit piece allows you to wear an art piece on the wrist, so you can enjoy elegance and humor coexisting naturally. It is an exquisite piece. We invite you to take this opportunity.
