Vintage Loewe Textured Leather Bifold Wallet Late 1990s Black

Madrid, late 1990s — the city’s pace set by the hum of taxis along Gran Vía, Loewe’s workshop turning out leather goods with an exacting hand. The exterior of this bifold wallet is marked only by the house’s interlocking ‘L’ Anagram, embossed discreetly in matching black — a signature drawn in 1970 by Vicente Vela, here pressed into textured leather with a subtle sheen.

A gold-tone snap secures the front flap, opening to a dark brown fabric lining fitted with six card slots and a zippered pocket for coins. The hardware is unengraved, its finish catching the light against the black grain. No visible label inside; the only identifier is the serial number stamped at the interior edge.

This piece lands at the junction of late Narciso Rodriguez and early José Enrique Oña Selfa at Loewe — a period defined by a focus on material refinement over overt branding. Light corner wear attests to careful handling. No accessories included.
