If you're in Tokyo this spring and have an eye for design or craftsmanship, the Loewe Crafted World Exhibition is well worth a visit.
Founded in Madrid in 1846 as a small leather workshop, Loewe has evolved into one of the world’s leading fashion houses. This exhibition traces that transformation, highlighting the brand’s deep connection to handcraft, its iconic designs, and the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson over the past decade. The result is a thoughtful mix of tradition and innovation, brought to life through immersive displays and curated installations.
The exhibition also includes a shop featuring exclusive items only available at the Tokyo venue. Limited-edition Hammock bags, felt charms, artist-designed hand towels, and one-of-a-kind woven baskets are on sale, along with books like Crafted World: Jonathan Anderson’s LOEWE, a new monograph celebrating his work with the brand.
Located just a short walk from Harajuku Station, the exhibition is open daily from 9am until 8pm, with last entry at 7pm. Admission is free, but reservations are required and can be made via LINE. For more details, visit loewe.cm/CraftedWorldTokyo.

The event venue is two minutes on foot from Harajuku Station (JR Yamanote Line), and is directly connected to Meiji Jingumae Station on the Tokyo Metro's Chiyoda Line and Fukutoshin Line.
