Loewe x Spirited Away

[wenlet]

My sole doubledip from leisurely browsing after my mad morning scramble for bags was this scarf, which I hadn’t seen any preview pics of before the launch

I’m probably about a foot shorter than this model so this is going to be more like a big blanket shawl for me, perfect for when I’m freezing in my home office or when we can return to office. The details up close are adorable!

I managed to resist the shoes as I literally just bought 6 pairs of shoes from other designers and am waiting for the Loewe SS22 rose and eggshell heels…

It‘s beautiful! I went back to the site just to look at some of the items again and I think overall, this is another beautiful collection that really honors the art of Studio Ghibli. I watched a few interviews with Jonathan Anderson lately and he truly appreciates art and craftsmanship and I think he really cares about these collections. At the hands of somebody else, this could have been a complete cash grab (like Disney/Gucci) but JWA really manages to capture what‘s iconic about Ghibli and it all seems very intentional!

I know right? I made my purchase for the items that caught my eyes through those miniature photos. Now taking my time to look at other pieces in more details, and they are all so beautiful. I totally agree, you can tell they put a lot of thoughts into all the designs. I am looking forward to more Loewe x Ghibli collabs in the coming years.

I ordered the susuwatari trifold wallet, I’ve never owned any Loewe before, but I just love Spirited Away so I couldn’t resist! Would love the mint mini puzzle but I don’t think I’ll be able to get one and it’s probably not the most practical colour, realistically if I was to buy a puzzle I should get one in a neutral.

I didn't really know much about Loewe until the Totoro collection. I got a regular Puzzle bag in October and love the quality so much I didn't hesitate to choose a few items from this collection. My puzzle is the medium tan though, agree about the mint mini not being the most practical, but it's so cute and any turquoise shade makes me weak...

So the pre-sale closed and it seems 71 products are still in stock from the 102. Really curious if the currently sold out items will be restocked.

This is so insanely beautiful. Wasn't it for the price. It looks so fluffy. If it were more rectangular, I might have thought about it, as it then might be used as kind of a blanket as you mentioned... I would love to see more action photos from this one.

I also went back to look at all the details from the collection. I usually don't buy RTW and also did not this time, but some pieces are beyond gorgeous, like the knit pieces, but also the prints on the hoodies are fabulous.

Same! I wonder what's next? Will they focus on one movie or like a theme? I'd love a Princess Mononoke collection if they focus on one movie. I'd also love it if they did a Heroines theme from their movies. Mostly because I want something Kiki inspired but I also want Lady Eboshi, San, Sophie, and Nausicaa, etc. Maybe a gods/spirits collection?

The next logical step would be Mononoke. The Kodama are a good replacement for the Soot Sprites and it has enough iconic themes and characters to warrant its own collection.

Personally, I absolutely adore Kiki and would love it if it got its own collection but I doubt it‘s very likely. Ponyo and Howl seem to be much more popular. But you‘re right that one movie a year might not me a sustainable model beyond the Totoro-Spirited Away-Mononoke trifecta

Kiki was my first Ghibli film and I love JiJi so that collection would be dangerous for my wallet. Howl and Spirited Away are my favourite movies though. Sad to have sat this one out but the timing just wasn't right. I'll be ready if the Kiki or Howl ones ever come out!

I missed this No-Face charm on the main page, but found it on the personalized charm tool!

Currently sitting just a few feet away from a Jiji Plushie — I definitely agree with you! Personally, I think Kiki has tremendous potential as the basis for a whole collection. Just imagine a reinterpretation of Kiki‘s actual bag!

I don‘t have the lifestyle for delicate RTW pieces and I am not planning on buying a lot of extra SLGs so I am contemplating setting some money aside to possibly make a bag purchase next year. January is the absolute worst time for these collections to come out… My new year‘s resolution of spending less on designer items is already out the window… so I guess my new resolution is to only purchase limited Loewe Ghibli items from now on? Lol

looking forward to see what everyone got ! such a lovely collection ! went with a hoodie and an slg and resisted checking out one of the bigger bags. now I went back and the cute mini hammocks were surprisingly still available, so I added one too, hope it’s not too small..hm

hehe you could just offset your resolution by 1 month or as my boyfriend put it "your last hurrah" before being frugal my birthday is in January so in future years, I won't feel too bad about it but I just bought a Chanel boy last week

I would love a Ponyo collection. All those saturated blues and dark corals could be wonderful in the hands of Anderson.

I was able to check out but I just got a refund for one of the items I purchased (around 2 hours after purchase)!
Did this happen to anyone else
It was for the boro bucket hat.

Edit: I just saw in earlier posts they cancelled other people's orders! The site was extremely laggy this morning so I guess I'm not too surprised they're not good at calculating stock

I actually suspect Kiki would be next because I do see a business pattern of appealing to beloved childhood movies for people who now have disposable income.

I also love Mononoke hime but its definitely a lot more dark and violent and I wouldn’t really classify it as a children’s film. I once was visiting my parents and my dad had it on for my 4 year old nephew and I had to run to the remote yelling DAD NO

Also if the pandemic continues to drag I dont know that people would be in the mood for the darker Ghibli films (Mononoke and Nausicaa are obviously about human destruction of the environment)

I think they’ll still do a collab with Mononoke in this 3 year Ghibli museum support period though since its such a popular film

Maybe they’ll surprise us and give us Tanuki balls bag charms a la Pom Poko
