Situated within the South Korean capital’s fashion-forward Apgujeong neighborhood in Gangnam, the 433m2, three-story retail space offers the full range of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, alongside bags, shoes, small leather goods, eyewear, home scents and other accessories. A series of artist-designed handbags and baskets, including works by Bamboo artist Hafu Matsumoto and Japanese artist Tanabe Chikuunsai 4th, are available exclusively at the new store. The Casa Loewe retail concept, the brainchild of Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson, aims to offer an eclectic blend of fashion, art, craft and design that exude the charm of an art collector’s home. To celebrate the Seoul shop opening on Thursday, Loewe hosted a party at the neighboring Songeun Art and Cultural Foundation, featuring brand ambassadors, the local press and local talents.
