Loewe x Howl's Moving Castle

[despair]

Thanks so much for sharing all of this information @despair ! Do you know if there are many other bag charms or straps that haven’t been shared? Thank you!

Yes there are quite a few more bag charms than what has been shown. Only three straps that I see though.

Caveat that there is potentially more stuff than what I am seeing because my country store may not have ordered or have access to every item… I am not seeing a couple of items the leaks have shown, for example (a few rtw pieces).

 

[despair]

Also, I'm sorry for being insistent on this, but could anyone shed some light on this?

Thank you ^-^

A lot of the items last year were pre sold to VIPs in my country but there were still some items available to buy at walk in. However the really hot items are mostly gone (Eg the spot sprite puzzles etc). What was available for weeks were some of the rtw pieces. The stores here also received quite a number of restocks, but this may not be the case this year because I was told the collection last year didn’t sell well in certain countries due to Covid impacting visitorship and so on. Given the world is pretty much back to normal this year, it may mean much lesser restocks.

MyTheresa also sold a portion of the collection last year and had a much more robust site than Loewe itself, so I would definitely try to trawl the various online retailers this year and see if Loewe had partnered any of them this year. Hope that helps!

Ok I have seen the items available at retail (not online though) but am not able to share them publicly, but several things I can vaguely share
- Apparently there are exclusive orange Calcifer items for online purchase (dammit)
- There are only small and mini puzzles for this collection
- The castle pouch/bag is small and rather pricey, and there's an even larger castle bag that costs an INSANE amount of money
- That intarsia hoodie worn by Wu Lei is going for a ridiculous amount of money - five figures in my local currency (!!!!)
- There is A LOT of RTW and many more bags and SLGs, much more than what has been leaked so far. It's a really extensive collection similar to last year's Spirited Away collab.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them!

because the one he's wearing is actually a leather jacket.

Selfridges is their partner this year.

Thank you so much for answering my question, despair!

I'm also wondering, as someone who has never been to a Loewe store and is afraid of ordering online (because of the cancellations), do I have any possibilities of being able to buy something from the collection If I go to the store early in the morning on launch day? (Or will everything already be reserved by SAs and their customers?).

Thank you!

Yes if you go in and ask to pre-order. The look books will be available on Thursday.

Nice! Have recently gotten Selfridges Plus so perhaps can put it to some use this collection heh

I hope there’s going to be a candle again this year again but I’d want to see something more creative than just slapping calcifer on it and calling it a day

 

[animelover]

I also saw some basket bags.
And a really vibrant red shirt.

No candle from what I see… missed opportunity!

I haven’t had a chance to go see the items in the store so far (but invited by the SA a couple of days prior to the drop).

I did get a sneak peek of some of the merch and had a chance to pay & order beforehand. If I do get to go before the drop I’ll share some information as well.

Nice! We are still trying to decide what to order… some of the higher priced bags (the T tote and the anagram tote) feel like they should look quite special but the sneak peeks don’t give enough info…

@despair @animelover by any chance did you see any shoes? I missed out on the Flow Runners with the soot sprites last year and was hoping to get a pair this year.

Two pairs of shoes but both are quite fancy with detailing hence commands a pretty large premium over the usual style. And honestly not everyone’s cup of tea.

@despair This must be the bigger bucket bag!

Looks like it includes a bracelet pouch and a bunch of new design SLGs inside. Wonder if the flamenco in the back is part of it too… no wonder it costs as much as a Birkin. Interesting comment from someone obv from the Loewe design team…
