1. Loewe
Loewe official website
Loewe is a Spanish design company founded in 1846 that provides luxury bags. These bags are costly but come in some of the finest materials and unique styles.
But before it became the oldest fashion luxury store still thriving today, it started when a man named Enrique Loewe joined in with a group of leather craftsmen and introduced designs that no one else had ever imagined. Once Queen Ena became one of the craftsman regulars, this group became Purveyor of the Royal Household of Spain.
Since then, the company has seen its fair share of the rich and famous, from Ernest Hemingway to Sophia Loren. They now have stores and high-end customers purchasing bags, clothing, and accessories from places all over the world.
