Loewe x Howl's Moving Castle

[luxnewbie86]

I haven’t received any shipping notifications yet, ordered charms only… should I be worried? In Aus

I’m based in Australia too I keep hitting refresh on my emails and account page every 5 minutes

I’m also in Aus and have not received any shipping info yet

Anyone else bought the calcifer mini flamenco? Haven’t seen it mentioned a lot here so far.

Attended the Rodeo Drive event last night and picked up a few small items. I did my main shopping at the online presale event already (cow bag shipped!!) so last night was relatively stress free for me — I mostly went just to see the collection in person, rewatch the movie, and meet up with other fans/forum members in person. The highlight was probably seeing everyone decked out in pieces from the last 2 Ghibli collabs, since I’ve never seen them in the wild! I could see how it could have been frustrating for people actually trying to do the bulk of their shopping at the store event, though, and the delay at the registers was annoying.

Picked up a few small items — heen cardholder, howl strap, and a candle. The candle scent is hard to describe but it vaguely smells like incense to me. Was sad there were no special sleeves/product boxes, and it looked like the store only had the witch of the waste shopping bags.

LOOOVE the strap with your B&W puzzle! Let me know how the candle smells. I loved the wood but was not sure about the vanilla.

I’ve been following this chat in the run up to the launch but this is my first post - hi everyone! (I’m in the UK, but sadly too far North to have been able to get to the Selfridges event or any Loewe stores).

I’m getting twitchy that the items I ordered online in the early access event are all still showing as ‘In Preparation’… I ordered the Small drop earrings (my must have item!), the Calcifer drawstring pouch, rock paper scissors charm and bouquet charm on one order, then Calcifer compact zip wallet on another. Last year my items from the SA collection were all despatched within hours so I am getting nervous! I also ordered the Calcifer mini puzzle in rust from Selfridges as I decided I couldn’t resist getting a bag (I was disappointed to miss the blueberry one though as I like it more).

Waiting is sooooo hard!

I am from UK too and my orders are the same!! They are in preparation even I got them seconds after they allowed to purchase them. Hopefully by this weekend they are on the way!

Btw, you so lucky to get the earrings! I have been trying to get them after they sold out in seconds but with no luck, this saturday i am going london but not big hopes to find them

Good luck finding the earrings, I hope it works out! They were the first thing I added to my basket as soon as they fixed the glitch, although I probably missed the blueberry mini puzzle because of that. Just hoping they actually reach me! Selfridges claimed to have 1 pair in stock last night which I tried to order as a backup but like others on this thread I experienced the annoying Selfridges phantom stock thing

I ordered one. I’m based in us and mine got shipped.

That's exciting! I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed.

It came in a large witch box.

When I opened it, I was pretty surprised about that tiny dust bag thingy in it:

Opened bag to find that:

Haha, it had a veil… It is smaller than I thought, but superroomy and supercute!
I like it both hinged and unhinged! Color is beautiful, though orange (unusual color for me), but with neutral clothes totally doable. If Calcifer is too much, you can just twist the bag around, then it is just orange and plain. But Calcifer on this shape looks like you are carrying a tiny fire around. So so cute…! What do you think? Will make a modeling pic in the weekend, when I have time and I have more light!

This is so cute! I’d buy it but I can’t let myself just get unlimited bags. I really like how they used the shape for the nugget bags.

The box is cool, but again weird that only some places have it. To be fair, most of us are still waiting for our online orders, so maybe the boxes will be more common. I didn’t even get a regular white box for my nugget; I thought that was weird, but I remember people saying that’s how bags normally come when bought in store.

Curious how the rust color on the Calcifer puzzle compares against the classic tan color?

I'm still In Preparation limbo on Loewe's site for my Calcifer coinholder, but the order I placed with Saks has shipped out today! Honestly, I was surprised they had pieces from this collection online at all, let alone in stock. Hopefully I can cancel my Loewe site order...

 

[emmui]

I'm in Canada too and my order hasn't shipped yet either. I did see that my credit card was charged for the full amount so I hope that means it's coming. I called them and asked if they have a shipping updated and they said no. I just ordered the leather patch pocket Calcifer hoodie.

I also had a dream last night that they shipped me the wrong things, clearly I've been thinking about this too much haha.

LOL They did ship me the wrong item last year during the Spirited Away launch. Thank goodness the correct item was still in stock!

I called them a couple of hours ago to cancel and order, and they told me that they can't do that and I'll have to wait to return it. Mine also still says "In Preparation".

Not sure if either of you are only interested in the Loewe earrings, but a Montreal-based jewelry designer I love made limited Howl earrings last year and is planning another release this month. They’re solid 14k gold with tourmaline and ruby (rather than gold vermeil / silver). https://sofiazakia.com/products/howl-pendragon-earring



Sorry if this is off topic since it’s not about the Loewe version. I do love her work though… I have a ton of her rings

Good to know!
