Loewe x Howl's Moving Castle

[calendula3]

Everyones' items are so nice! If Loewe cancells my orders, I'll write an angry letter.

The Calcifer puzzle in rust is beautiful. I like the color much better than their normal tan but I'm kinda afraid I won't use a bag with character on it...

i didn't make it tonight (also too cold, might have gotten frostbite) - will try tomorrow when the weather's better, but i did swing by the soho location. very slim pickings but still the large shearling calcifer + the mini heen puzzle. the turnip head blanket is still around, a couple of the calcifer rust zip wallets. will swing by saks tmrw.

a lot of RTW still available (including that amazing feathered howl - wow - and the cape). the RTW isn't flying off the shelves this year though i'm seriously considering the denim overshirt or hoodie just to get the castle :-/ thoughts??

Do you know if they had any charms available?

None of the brass dice left (i had asked in the days prior); I didn't ask about the calfskin dice. Didn't see charms but wasn't paying attention there... *EDIT: I remember seeing the Rock Paper Scissors charm one near the door - was on some of the baskets - https://www.loewe.com/usa/en/loewe-...html?cgid=howls_moving_castle_collection&p=35

Wow congrats!! Was it a Loewe or Saks store?

It was a Saks store.

As you said, not over that thick coat… I have to test it with thinner outerwear. But actually I like that the strap is not too thick, probably looks more elegant, less sporty, especially as it is orange…

What kind of strap are you thinking of for your Markle bag (so cute, btw. and such a gorgeous color!)?

I like their jacquard straps, I just don’t think the HMC ones especially go with the bag. Also you’d want the design on the outside which means having LOEWE LOEWE LOEWE on the outside and part of the reason I like the brand is it’s not covered in its name. Which is mostly my hang ups about if I ever move home to a place where no one wears brands and people make awkward comments about it. (Although I’m also hoping my family just won’t know Loewe at all. )

This looks the most promising, but I’m not sure what the D ring part is for. Attaching a charm?

D-ring strap in Anagram jacquard and calfskin Asphalt Grey - LOEWE

Detachable strap crafted in calfskin and jacquard with a LOEWE pattern on one side and an Anagram pattern on the reverse. *4cm wide *Hook fastenings *Detachable and adjustable *Functional D-ring *Embossed Anagram

Edit: actually, the colour is the best, but both sides seem to have the brand name instead of one side being the logo. I’ll have to keep looking for the right grey with a logo decoration!

My guess for the small heel pouch is people are buying it more as a keepsake or to use like jewellery, for decoration. Though there are people who can leave the house with a few coins, a credit card and a tissue and be happy. I mean, someone is pushing this mini bag trend.

I ordered for my first time yesterday, the turnip head brass charm, and she already bought and shipped it. I will let you know once it arrives

Thank you!! I wanted to ask for her services for a bag but I'm still so afraid so I asked for her help to a charm instead.

I have before for last year's collab and now. I found her reliable and responsive but will note there is a S&H and premium fee so you have to believe you really can't get it

I love the pieces with the castle embroidery on the back. I didn't see the denim overshirt when I went to the soho location on launch day but I saw the hoodie and love it but I think the castle embroidery looks a lot better on the denim overshirt than the hoodie!

Personally I find the pricing on the castle pieces of RTW to be a bit too high… I settled for the pouch in the end to get the castle design, was initially considering the castle anagram tote but compared to Yubaba last year (which I got), I think it lacked a little oomph to command such a high premium over the regular anagram tote…

I was at the Ala Moana store today and they had a lot of pieces left.

Thank you so much for sharing! This gives me more assurance.

Yup I'm okay to pay for it and she quoted me on it and I find it acceptable.

The Yubaba one is so pretty and how the jewels come to life is amazing!

My small SLG haul, went to 5 stores total, was trying to hunt down a heen dice pocket in Tokyo to no avail, but was able to find the slim zip
