Loro Piana’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, titled “The Way We Were,” beautifully captures a blend of timeless elegance and natural inspiration. Drawing on the rich heritage of English aristocrats, Argentine gauchos and Australian drovers, the collection evokes vast landscapes and a longing for simpler times. Key pieces include elevated workwear and riding-inspired attire, along with luxurious reinventions of classic outerwear, such as the Spagna cape and a diamond-quilted shearling coat. The women’s wear line features relaxed tailoring, jodhpurs, and patterned skirts, highlighting a cashmere-woven aviator jacket and a chic mohair bouclé overcoat. To complete the looks, gorgeous leather bags and accessories, such as the Extra Clutch and the mini Extra Bag, add a touch of finesse to the entire collection.
The Natura Argentina foulard captures the awe-inspiring mountainscapes of the South American country through a hand-painted composition in delicate watercolours.
Evoking Sergio Loro Piana’s personal ‘70s-inspired tastes, these classic Sergio Loafers in deep maroon calfskin embody casual luxury with their butter-soft leather and double-stitched vamp with sculpted seam relief. Their elegant depth balances a relaxed, laid-back look perfect for everyday wear.
A refined and sophisticated addition to the Extra range, the Extra Drawstring backpack effortlessly blends iconic detailing with versatile functionality. Crafted from exquisite materials, this backpack features a sleek design that allows it to be worn comfortably or stylishly slung over the shoulder.
An elegant accessory with compact proportions, the Extra Clutch L29, pictured here in Oxblood/Sun Gold, is suited for both special occasions and everyday elegance. It is rendered in saddle leather with a smooth, full-bodied touch and signature topstitching.
Made from Tasmanian® wool, the The International Double Breasted Jacket, Davey Pants and Yale Tie are paired with a wool Thea Penny Bar Collar Shirt, Giulia Hat in baby Cashmere felt and brass Ottomane Tie Clip.
This calfskin Aimee Double Breasted Jacket cuts a striking silhouette, especially when layered with a silk Thea Penny Bar Collar Shirt and Tassel Loafers. The Raquel Hat in Bonbon plongé leather, Extra earrings in brass with enamel and Clutch L36 in Serge saddle leather complete the look.
