Loewe's PVC Bootie Redefines Craft for the 21st Century
Loewe, the Spanish leather house now known for its inventive designs, has introduced a space-age oddity boot under new creative directors Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough. The boot is crafted from a single piece of PVC, resembling a hyper-fashionable wellington, and comes with a trio of socklets for changeable color accents. Available in a striking Bird's Custard yellow, the boot exemplifies the duo's push to redefine craft: injection-moulded, seamless leather clothes and abstracted ruffles challenge traditional notions. Loewe, once a little-known 170-year-old brand, has risen to multi-billion Euro prominence through collections that clash eras and recontextualize surreal objects as accessories, notably the Puzzle bag. The Emily aqua bootie is available now.
