The Loewe x Suna Fujita collaboration is just the whimsy I need this holiday season
I saw a picture of the Loewe bag and smiled. Stitched into the material is an image of a child hanging from a tree with a panda at his fit. Together the pair helped to make the O of Loewe font embroidered on to the tote. It was so whimsical and fun, exactly what the…
