Hereu weaves Espiga bags and minimalist sandals with Catalan leather craft. Loewe builds the Puzzle bag with Spanish leather artistry as a luxury house since 1846. Meryan hand-embosses Cordovan leather in the guadameci tradition of Córdoba.

Its store listing also identifies men's shoes and jewellery as well as fragrances and scents for the home. Loewe began in Madrid in 1846, but that company history should not be mistaken for this Barcelona branch's opening date.

Spanish luxury house since 1846 — LVMH's oldest brand, Royal Warrant in 1905. Jonathan Anderson's decade of reinvention passed in 2025 to Proenza Schouler founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. Puzzle and Gate bags, and leather artistry.

Loewe is the oldest house in the LVMH portfolio and wears it lightly. Founded in Madrid in 1846 as a cooperative of leather artisans, formalized by Enrique Loewe Roessberg, granted a Royal Warrant in 1905 — for most of its history it was Spain's quiet secret, the leather people brought back from Madrid the way they brought silk from Lyon.
Jonathan Anderson's eleven years changed the scale without touching the center. He built the Puzzle bag — a cuboid of origami engineering that became a modern classic — the Gate, the Flamenco's revival, and around them a whole cultural apparatus: the Loewe Craft Prize, ceramics, Studio Ghibli collaborations, runway shows that art critics reviewed. Leather remained the argument throughout; the house's Madrid ateliers still train their own artisans.
In 2025 the reins passed to Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the founders of Proenza Schouler — a New York duo handed Spain's great leather patrimony. The Casa Loewe flagships, Madrid's above all, remain among the most beautiful retail rooms in fashion.

Balenciaga is the fashion house established by Cristóbal Balenciaga, with couture and clothing at the centre of its history. The Kering-owned house also makes accessories such as handbags. The Guardian reported Pierpaolo Piccioli's appointment as creative director in May 2025, a dated milestone rather than a verification of a particular shop's current collection.

Cristóbal Balenciaga was the couturier the other couturiers watched. Dior called him "the master of us all"; Chanel said he was the only one who could design, cut, assemble and sew a suit entirely with his own hands. His Spanish enterprise carried several names: the first house opened in San Sebastián in 1917 as C. Balenciaga, while a second label founded in 1927 became EISA Costura, a name drawn from his mother’s surname, Eizaguirre, and later expanded to Madrid and Barcelona. The Spanish Civil War prompted his move to Paris in 1937; from there he re-drew the female silhouette — the tunic, the sack, the balloon hem — shapes so radical they took the rest of fashion a decade to catch up, then closed his house in 1968 rather than dilute it.
The resurrection took a stranger path. Nicolas Ghesquière made the archive dangerous again; Demna made it viral — the Triple S sneaker, the City bag's second life, hoodies priced like tailoring, couture restored to the house in 2021 after a 53-year silence. No brand has been more argued about this century, which is its own kind of fidelity to a founder who never once courted agreement.
Now Pierpaolo Piccioli, arriving from Valentino, inherits both inheritances — the monastic cut and the cultural lightning rod. What stays constant is the house's core wager: that shape itself, before logo or fabric, is what fashion actually sells.

Its best-known piece is the Espiga bag, a shoulder bag defined by a braided strap made from pliable, padded strips of lambskin woven together; the bag is produced by manufacturers in Sax, a town in the Valencia region with a long-standing leather-making history. Hereu has since expanded into footwear alongside its handbags.
