LOEWE traces its origin to a Madrid leather workshop founded in 1846. Enrique Loewe Roessberg joined the business in the nineteenth century and gave the House its name. Leather craft remains central to the brand.
Jonathan Anderson shaped the House's modern era before Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez became creative directors in 2025. In 2026 LOEWE marked its 180th anniversary with an anniversary capsule and Amazona 180, a contemporary reworking of the Amazona first introduced in 1975.

Analyze LOEWE labels
Add the label evidence available on the item. For clothing, a brand or neck label can support a bounded product result while care/product labels can supply visible size, origin, materials and identifiers. Up to four photos can be analyzed together.
Add up to four label photos. For clothing, include the brand/neck label and the care/product label when available; front and back tag photos can be analyzed together. The storefront does not save the selected photos.
Evidence photos0 of 4 photos
Optional: identify each photo as a Brand / neck label, Care / product label, or Code / stamp. This helps Sui Generis Intelligence keep line identity separate from production and care information.

Results distinguish visible label details, supported interpretation and information that remains unknown. Clothing references are assessed separately from handbag and footwear codes.

What you can read
LOEWE printed on the scarf border
02
How to use it
This is a printed signature within the scarf design. Document its position and the full border so it can help compare the pattern with other examples.
03
What to check next
A printed signature is not a sewn composition label. Request the care tag before confirming fiber content, country or a product reference.
Marked size = the item’s original label. As a US company, Sui Generis lists a US size comparison; use the relevant brand/category chart and actual measurements to check fit. Understand the sizing systems.

Research & image credits
Historical and design references for these sheets are listed below. Catalog photographs show individual Sui Generis items. This independent educational guide is unaffiliated with the designer.
Identify the creative era and exact garment before interpreting labels. Modern LOEWE ready-to-wear can use sculptural construction, artisanal surface work, trompe-l'oeil effects and deliberately unconventional proportions. Compare neck label, care label, product reference, materials and runway/product imagery as a set.
01
Brand & Neck Labels
LOEWE label typography and construction have changed over time. Do not require a current label on a vintage garment. Establish the era first, then compare exact wordmark, label material, stitch attachment, origin and care-label stack with documented same-period examples.
02
Care & Composition Labels
Record the complete care-label stack, including fiber content, country of manufacture, size and any article/reference information. Internal codes are useful only when they reconcile with the exact garment; do not infer a year from arbitrary digits without a documented LOEWE rule.
03
Style & Product Codes
Use LOEWE product references as model identifiers rather than standalone authenticity certificates. Search the complete reference and verify category, material, color, dimensions and generation. Current anniversary references such as A039ASRX22 and A039AS0X15 are useful exact-product anchors, not a universal date-code formula.
04
Construction & Materials
Assess leather, textile and garment construction against the exact design. LOEWE emphasizes handcraft and material experimentation; intentional asymmetry, unusual drape or artisanal surface treatment can be correct when documented for the model.
Look More Closely
Details Worth a Closer Look
Product reference resolves to a different category, material or color
Label era conflicts with the claimed collection
Leather, edge finishing, hardware or construction is inconsistent with the exact model
A current Anagram or packaging detail is treated as mandatory on genuine vintage LOEWE
05
Leather Goods
LOEWE Bag Details
Key LOEWE bag families include Amazona, Puzzle, Flamenco and Hammock. Authenticate to the exact generation, size and material before judging logo details. The Amazona originated in 1975; the 2026 Amazona 180 is a deliberate model evolution and should not be confused with a vintage Amazona.
01
Interior Brand Stamp
Compare the LOEWE wordmark, Anagram, interior stamp and hardware engraving to the exact model and era. Placement and technique can differ by family and generation; a single stamp format is not universal across the archive.
02
Serial & Style Codes
Treat stamped or printed references as identifiers whose meaning must be established from the exact model and period. A successful product-reference match supports identification but does not prove authenticity. Do not manufacture a date-decoder from an undocumented number sequence.
03
Hardware & Stitching
Inspect hardware weight and finish, zipper and closure engineering, edge paint, seam control, handle attachment and strap geometry. The Amazona family is especially useful for model-level comparison because handle, lock/padlock, opening and proportion have evolved across generations.
04
Leather, Canvas & Lining
LOEWE uses a wide range of calfskin, nappa, suede, raffia, woven leather and seasonal artisanal materials. In the 2026 anniversary capsule, Lion Intarsio and related lion treatments appear across signature bag families. Unusual texture or motif should be matched to a documented product rather than rejected by color or material alone.
Look More Closely
Bag Details Worth a Closer Look
Wrong proportions or construction for the claimed Puzzle, Amazona, Flamenco or Hammock generation
Reference number belongs to another model or material
Crude edge finishing, weak hardware or inconsistent Anagram geometry
A 2026 Amazona 180 is misdated as an original 1970s Amazona because of the model name
06
Footwear
LOEWE Footwear Details
For LOEWE footwear, compare exact model, outsole tooling, insole/heel branding, size/origin marks, material and product reference. Seasonal sculptural shapes and collaborations should be authenticated to their release rather than a generic LOEWE shoe template.
07
Accessories
LOEWE Accessory Details
Small leather goods, charms, belts, eyewear and textile accessories require category-specific comparison. The 2026 anniversary program includes lion-motif charms and accessories, so playful animal forms can be intentional documented LOEWE design rather than a red flag.
08
Jewelry
LOEWE Jewelry Details
LOEWE currently offers dedicated jewelry including Anagram Bombé earrings, necklaces and bracelets, sterling-silver versions, leather bangles and pendants. Authenticate the exact product and material: compare Anagram geometry, casting or silver construction, plating/finish, hinge and clasp engineering, chain dimensions, hallmarks where applicable and the complete product reference. A recognizable Anagram alone is not proof, and costume-metal and sterling-silver pieces should not be judged by the same material expectations.
