1. LOEWE’s Cinematic Tribute to the Year of the Horse
LOEWE rings in the 2026 Lunar New Year by merging high fashion with the rich heritage of Chinese storytelling.

Starring Global Brand Ambassador Wang Yibo, the film follows a young horse on a quest for festive lanterns, symbolizing a journey of self-belief and courage.
The festive spirit extends to an exclusive capsule collection that reimagines LOEWE’s most iconic silhouettes through the lens of the zodiac. Signature pieces like the Puzzle and Amazona 31 bags have been updated with hand-knotted fringes and tassels that mimic a horse’s mane. The collection also features playful charms and the leather overshirt Wang Yibo wore in the campaign.

This motif flows across delicate silk scarves, the iconic Extra Pocket L19 handbag, and women’s silhouettes crafted from earthy-toned cashmere and silk. Men’s offerings focus on relaxed, fluid shapes using rare materials like Sea Island Cotton and mouliné wool, ensuring every piece feels as effortless as it looks.
