But what if you stripped all that away? Like, totally minimalist. No screaming “LOEWE” across the side. Just… a really, really nice shoe. Is that even a thing? Kinda. Sorta.
Okay, so, the sources talk about Loewe *shoes* a lot. They talk about, like, collaborations, specifically the Loewe x On collection (Swiss engineering meets luxury! *rolls eyes*). They talk about different materials – calfskin, lambskin, even raffia! Raffia shoes? Really? I mean, they’re probably super expensive raffia shoes, but still. Raffia.
And then there’s the logo, the *actual* Loewe logo. It’s supposed to be a blend of tradition and modern innovation, which, like, okay marketing speak. Apparently, you can download vector versions of it in all sorts of formats which… I guess if you’re making a fan site or something, that’s cool.
But back to the no-logo thing. I feel like… it’s almost more Loewe to *not* have the logo plastered everywhere. Like, you’re so confident in the quality, the design, the *feel*, that you don’t NEED to shout about it. You KNOW it’s Loewe, *they* know it’s Loewe, and that’s enough. It’s, like, a quiet flex. You know?
I mean, sure, the article mentions women’s luxury shoes and zapatillas, and how you can buy them on Farfetch (in up to 12 installments! sheesh!), but that kinda misses the point, doesn’t it?
I’m not saying Loewe should ditch the logo completely. That’s kinda dumb from a business perspective. But the idea of a super-understated Loewe shoe, a shoe that whispers luxury rather than screams it… that’s kinda appealing. It’s like, you’re paying for the craftsmanship, the materials, the design—not just the name. And, let’s be honest, sometimes the name is the *only* thing you’re paying for with these brands.
Plus, imagine the possibilities! A beautifully crafted sneaker, made with the softest calfskin, subtle stitching, maybe a unique sole design… but no logo. Just pure, unadulterated shoe-ness. I’d rock that. Totally.
