"LOEWE" 00’s-10’s leather inlay anagram clasp bangle

Rooted in Spanish leather craftsmanship and elevating the leather material to the language of luxury, Loewe presents a piece that embodies intelligence through the contrast of metal and leather.

This masterpiece is a design that elegantly embodies the warmth of craftsmanship.

Based on an elliptical oval form, the mirror-finished gold-tone metal captures surrounding light smoothly, creating a presence that does not overly assert itself within the outfit but still leaves a definite outline, which is charming. The metal surface is smoothly polished, causing soft shadow changes depending on the angle, evoking the elegance of jewelry.

In the center, dark brown leather is inlaid, creating a composition where the moist texture contrasts with the rigid metal, allowing Loewe's characteristic material tension to be directly reflected on the wrist. The leather's surface is uniformly finished, providing a gentle touch against the skin and including comfort during wear in the design.

The opening and closing are hinge clasp type, so there is no need to forcibly widen the bangles, making it less likely for the metal to deform, and daily movements remain sleek. The clasp features an old-style anagram, serving as a symbol of decoration while also functioning as a fixing mechanism, beautifully overlapping the design for display and function in the same place.

Inside, there are engravings of the LOEWE logo and MADE IN SPAIN, and in addition to the logo's serif font being of the traditional type, the anagram is not a simple design seen after 2014, indicating that it predates Jonathan Anderson's appointment. The presence of these elements together firmly places it in the range from around 2000 to 2013, a period different from the current minimalistic direction, allowing you to enjoy the classic Loewe atmosphere.

Rather than making jewelry the main feature, it is especially recommended for those who want to quietly elevate the completeness of their outfit, as the inclusion of leather elements in the accessories creates a depth different from watches or rings, making a noticeable difference in simple outfits. Its versatility, from jacket styles on workdays to stylish outings on holidays, is also attractive.

In terms of styling, pairing with tailored jackets or neat shirts to add a straight-line mood will highlight the curves of the bangles, and combining minimal knitwear or high-quality cut-and-sew with wide slacks creates a calm, gender-neutral mode. Additionally, pairing small accessories like leather shoes or elegant bags that convey the quality of materials results in a cohesive overall texture, allowing you to naturally enjoy Loewe's signature craftsmanship.

Definitely take this opportunity.
