You see Loewe these days, and they’re slingin’ bucket hats, beanies, even those kinda dorky-cute fisherman’s hats (with the Loewe strap, obvs). They’re all well and good. But, like, *vintage* Loewe… it’s got *history*, y’know? It’s got that “I didn’t even TRY, but I look amazing” vibe down pat.
I was scourin’ 1stDibs the other day (don’t judge me, I have expensive taste, okay?), and I found this AMAZING Loewe hat. Leather, naturally, because Loewe. And it just had this, like, *thing* about it. Like, it had *stories* to tell. I’m probably romanticizing it, but whatever. I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff.
RevivalVintage has some good stuff too, I noticed. They’re all about the “timeless and elegant” thing, which is totally Loewe’s whole deal. But for me, the vintage stuff just *screams* personality. It’s not just fashion, it’s a statement, a conversation starter, a reason to get a lil’ too excited at brunch when someone compliments your hat. (Guilty as charged.)
I mean, let’s be real, Loewe hats ain’t exactly cheap, contemporary or vintage. But findin’ a killer vintage Loewe hat? It’s kinda like findin’ a hidden treasure. Like, you’re not just buyin’ a hat, you’re buyin’ a piece of, like, fashion history. And who *doesn’t* want that?
