Third Loewe x Studio Ghibli Collaboration! Howl's Moving Castle" capsule collection is now available! A pop-up store will also be held!
Loewe and Studio Ghibli are collaborating on a new project. The final collaboration will be with "Howl's Moving Castle".
In the "Howl's Moving Castle" capsule collection, the main characters Sophie and Howl, as well as other well-known characters from the film, such as the fire demon Calcifer, Markl, Hin, the Scarecrow Cub, and the Witch of the Waste Land, are depicted vividly on leather, shearling, and fine fabrics, The characters are vividly depicted on leather, shearling, and fine fabrics using intarsia, embroidery, inlay, and other techniques.
The characters appear on the brand's iconic bags, such as the Puzzle, Flamenco, Hammock, Amazona, Luna, and Bracelet Pouch, as well as on a variety of small leather goods, jumpers, jackets, shirts, and other clothing. They are depicted as if they were alive through the realistic touch of appliques, raffia, feathers, and other quirks that they add.
Scenes from the film are printed on the lining of tweed jackets and all over shirts and shorts.
Feathers on cardigans dance magically, and some silhouettes are reminiscent of characters in the film. And even the "castle" itself appears as a bag.
The castle is formed in its own unique form by collaging fragments and remnants of signature bags such as puzzle, flamenco, amasona, and hammock.
