Let Loewe spirit you away....
If like me, you instantly recognised the bathouse from Spirited away, you are going to love this post.
Be warned however, with prices from $550 to $6400 for this new Loewe x Spirited Away, you are also going to be crying tears of disappointment into your cornflakes that your lottery win has yet to happen…
Much as I love all the studio Ghibli films, Spirted Away holds a very special place in my heart. Seems like LOEWE creative director Jonathon Anderson feels exactly the same way, given that it's the second Ghibli film to inspire a LOEWE capsule.
When Lady Lisa pointed it out to me earlier this week, my heart totally skipped a beat.
I can’t believe I missed their first collection featuring ‘My Neighbour Tortoro’
Spirited Away is the story of 10-year-old Chihiro Ogino, transported to the wonderful and terrifying world of Japanese spirits in a bid to save her parents who have been turned into pigs from a curse inflicted by a witch named Yubaba.
Chihiro, No-Face, Chihiro's silent companion, Yubaba, and Boh, Yubaba's giant child who gets turned into a mouse, informed the vague teasers that LOEWE initially showcased before revealing the Spirited Away collection proper.
Like the Totoro collab, the Spritied Away collection includes wearables, like graphic tees , hoodies even glorious jumpers but really shines when it comes to the accessories.
A glorious selection of leather bags in all different sizes and shapes, featuring imagery of the many characters and creatures who populate the films' world, ranging from the soot sprites to love interest Haku's dragon form and of course No Face.
It goes without saying that I adore everything but with those prices I doubt I will get my paws on any of it.
*sigh*
