LOEWE has done it again. After the release of its stunning Loewe x Spirited Away collection, LOEWE has introduced yet another adorable range to its lineup this year as part of its CNY collection. Here, LOEWE honours the knot’s cultural tradition in a new capsule collection which knots floppy rabbit ears seen on the house’s iconic Bunny bag, and also Basket, Hammock and Pocket bags. For the unacquainted, the ‘knot’ signifies human connection and good fortune among Asian societies. Available in different materials, we particularly love the Bunny bag in shearling as it adds the right amount of texture, instantly adds a splash of fun to your look, and of course, it also feels soft to the touch.
This charming Rabbit Quilted Leather Small Lola Bag makes a great gift for yourself if you’re born in the Year of the Rabbit or for somebody you know whose spirit animal is the rabbit.
