Loewe, 1846. One logo. No designer named.
The Loewe Anagram was designed in 1970 by Vicente Vela — four interlocking Ls for the four leather artisans who founded the house. Nobody outside Madrid knew his name.
Loewe opened in Madrid in 1846 as a workshop of leather artisans. Royal warrant in 1905. Made in Spain was the whole proposition.
How to date an Anagram piece: thick woven 'Made in Spain' label = pre-2000. Anagram repeat slightly larger after 1990. Hardware stamped 'LOEWE' on the reverse.
