Leathergoods brand Loewe has opened its first ever standalone store specialising in the repair and maintenance of its leather products, writes Leatherbiz.
It has called the store ReCraft; it is located in Osaka in Japan. The site houses a full-time leather artisan.
“ReCraft is about the joy of craft beyond the new,” Loewe said. “It is a commitment to breathing fresh life into long-cherished possessions.”
As well as a cleaning, nurturing and repair service, visitors to the store will also have access to a wide variety of woven leather baskets and small leathergoods created from repurposing high-quality surplus materials from previous collections.
The brand said this launch builds on its commitment to the longevity of its hand-crafted bags.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
