Loewe’s annual Paula’s Ibiza summer collection consistently captures the free-spirited essence of the Balearic island, translating its bohemian energy into highly covetable pieces. Jonathan Anderson’s final chapter in this beloved collaboration between the Spanish fashion house and the renowned boutique is no different.
Within this vibrant tapestry, the Rio Slipper emerges as a tactile embodiment of the collection’s core themes. At first glance, it’s a deceptively simple slip-on in soft suede. But a closer look reveals artisanal details that imbue the slide with rustic charm. Handcrafted raffia embroidery along the midsole, for example.
Several practical features are also woven into the design. The 5 MM heel offers a slight lift, while a padded insole promises all-day comfort. The footwear features the brand’s distinctive petal toe shape, a nod to house classics while reflecting the collection’s lighthearted mood.
The Anagram-embossed rubber outsole provides durability and grip, whether strolling along a beach or navigating city streets. For the final touch, the Anagram Pebble at the side serves as a subtle brand identifier.
Loewe’s Rio Slipper stands out for its quiet artistry in a collection of everything from raffia bags to bag charms and the meme-worthy Tomato Clutch. In a choice of six shades each priced at SGD1350, the Rio Slipper has launched with most of Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza 2025 collection.
