There are always going to be those ‘it’ brands and pieces that the fashion industry can’t help crushing on. You know the ones: they garner the biggest ‘oohs’ and ‘aah’s from adoring fans, usually followed by an envious sigh because, try as we might, we really can’t justify spending this month’s rent on a new bag or pair of shoes.

And, right now, the fashion industry is obsessed with Loewe, the Spanish leatherwear brand famed for its impeccable craftsmanship, direction design (headed up by Brit Jonathan Anderson), and the most lust-worthy bags in existence. The Puzzle, the Hammock, the Gate and the Elephant have all made their way to ‘it’ status, thanks to being spotted on the arms of the world’s most stylish women at fashion week.

Even more important, though, is the fact that they regularly wing it to the top of our online wish lists. Well, one can dream, right?
