Collection: Loewe

Loewe sunglasses sit where Spanish leather craft meets something distinctly modern. The house has worked out of Madrid since 1846, and the Anagram, that interlocking L motif, gives the range its name. We add to our Loewe eyewear collection as new frames and colourways land, so it is worth checking back.

Is Loewe a Good Brand?

Loewe is one of the oldest luxury houses in Europe, founded in Madrid in 1846 and established in leather long before it became a full fashion house. The eyewear carries the same restraint. The colourways stay conservative, shiny black and dark Havana with smoke and brown lenses, and the shapes are closer to classic than seasonal, which is why a pair reads as considered rather than logo-led. If you want sunglasses that announce the brand across a room, there are louder options, including some we stock.

So is Loewe worth it? At this level, Loewe sits in the same bracket as a good handbag, and the honest answer depends on how you wear sunglasses. If yours live loose in the bottom of a tote, buy a pair you will not mourn. If they are part of how you dress, a pair of Loewe frames will outlast several seasons of trend-led alternatives and still look current.

Choosing Loewe Frames for Women

The Anagram line is the core of what we carry, in the shapes that suit the widest range of faces.

Loewe black sunglasses, in shiny black with smoke or gradient smoke lenses, are the pair to buy first. They sit with everything and read as considered rather than loud. Loewe brown sunglasses, in dark Havana with brown or smoke lenses, are the warmer option and the better match for the chocolate, camel and cream tones filling wardrobes at the moment. Blonde Havana with a blue lens, when we have it in, is the softer option against paler skin.

On shape, the rule is contrast. Loewe square sunglasses and angular frames balance a rounder or softer face, while a more curved frame suits a stronger jaw. If you're caught between two pairs, decide on where the frame sits at your temple rather than on the shape alone.

Where to Find Loewe in NZ and Australia

Loewe in New Zealand is not widely stocked outside the main centres. If you have been searching for a Loewe store near you and come up with nothing close, this collection is open to you online. Delivery is free on NZ orders over $500 and on Australian orders over $600, thresholds a single pair from this range will usually cover on its own, so your Loewe pair can arrive with nothing added at checkout. Orders ship from New Zealand and are priced in NZ dollars, which is worth knowing if you are buying Loewe in AU, since your bank converts at the rate on the day.

You are also welcome to try them on in person. We are in Oamaru, and sunglasses are one of the few things worth seeing on your own face first.
