This season, the iconic Puzzle bag is reimagined in the stylings of the series for the first time, featuring layers of colourful leather that enhance its geometric construction. Also included in the collection is a new iteration of the Flamenco Clutch and a selection of small leather goods such as cardholders and wallets, with meticulous, undulating gradations of colour and texture.
In order to craft the Landscape series, LOEWE's artisans have to employ a suite of intricate leather techniques to achieve the gorgeous results.

At the atelier, contrasting leather sections are cut and compressed with precision into rippling forms that echo rock strata or topographical illustrations. Each panel is then skived to remove thin layers of leather and reveal those beneath.
The process ends in a rich interplay of depth, texture and tone, that mirrors the beauty of coastal landscapes and the land's natural striations — a reflection of the House's ongoing commitment to material excellence and innovation in craft.
The Landscape series is now available at LOEWE boutiques in Singapore and online at loewe.com.

No one does maternity style quite like Rihanna. See her best fashion moments
Rihanna has never been one to play by the rules—especially when it comes to fashion. Ever since the 'Diamonds' singer made her debut in 2005, there hasn't been quite a shortage of high-octane fashion moments from the cultural supernova. From classic noughties looks to her iconic full yellow Guo Pei Met Gala gown, Riri has always been ahead of the curve. And so when she announced her first pregnancy with A$AP Rocky in 2022, in an epic reveal that featured a hot pink knee length Chanel puffer jacket and multicoloured belly chains, it was clear that she was rewriting the rules of maternity style. Sure enough, a little over a month later she arrived at the Dior show in a sheer black lace babydoll dress that showed off her stomach and her lingerie. During her second pregnancy, her fashion game remained at its high. Literally. She announced the good news to the world durning her iconic 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show, whilst suspended above the stadium in a custom red Loewe breastplate and matching jumpsuit. And so history repeated itself. Now well into her third pregnancy, Rihanna has become a seasoned pro at delivering a head-turning maternity style moment. And it had to be at an opportune moment—none other than the 2025 Met Gala—choosing a finely tailored custom Marc Jacobs ensemble to share the good news. And just when we thought we'd seen it all, the Barbadian singer kept us on our toes. Attending the Smurfs movie premiere in Los Angeles, Riri turned heads in a lace trimmed Saint Laurent gown paired with a black leather jacket and chic sunglasses. But the real show stealers? Her sons RZA and Riot, who arrived at the carpet in head to toe custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson—miniature version of the looks shown at the designer's debut menswear show for the house. Yes, fashion runs in this family. Here, we dip into the archives to round up Rihanna's best maternity looks.

Gaia Series 96: Delicious food! Don't lose that taste
A poignant Japan Hour episode journeys through closures, successors and the preservation of culinary legacies. In this week's episode, viewers are taken on a deeply human journey through the kitchens and communities of three unique establishments, each confronting the poignant question of legacy and the challenge of succession. The programme explores the intimate stories behind Ramen Sanchin, Curry House Indoya and Restaurant Eiraku, institutions that are not merely places to eat, but cultural landmarks whose closures signal more than the end of a business. The episode begins in Tokyo's Itabashi ward at Ramen Sanchin, a local favourite that once had over 100 locations. Today, only one remains. Owner Naruhito Yamazaki, 69, has run the shop for over two decades. Despite its signature Tonkoku Ramen and a loyal customer base, he has decided to close the shop due to the physical demands of the work and the lack of a successor. 'I just don't have the confidence to keep doing that every day,' Yamazaki admits. The shop is set to close on 30 March. On its final day, 200 servings of ramen sell out before the designated closing time. One customer remarks, 'It's sad thinking we might not see each other again.' Reflecting on the people he has served, Yamazaki says, 'I'll probably think of... so many different faces. That's what I'll miss most.' The narrative then shifts to Takasaki City in Gunma Prefecture, where the once-thriving Curry House Indoya recently closed its doors. Founded in 1983 by Ryuhei Araki and his wife Chinami, Indoya had been a local icon, known for its popular Baked Cheese Curry. In 2023, the restaurant was handed over to Yuichiro Shuto, then 28 years old, who had trained under Araki before taking over operations. 'I really want to make sure this flavour that everyone loves gets properly passed on,' said Shuto at the time. He invested about 20 million yen (S$175,000) into the venture, which included 3 million yen for the business transfer, 1 million yen for the lease agreement and 1.5 million yen for equipment. The rest was used to cover operating losses. Despite initial support and mostly positive reviews, the restaurant struggled to regain its momentum. Chinami Araki later shared in a written message, 'Out of the blue, Mr Shuto told us he wanted to close Curry House Indoya. I felt overwhelmed with a deep sense of sadness.' She added, 'If you could occasionally mention Curry House Indoya in conversations from time to time, I think that would make my husband very happy too.' The restaurant officially closed on 24 February 2025, just one year and ten months after the handover. The episode ends in Setagaya, Tokyo, with a glimmer of hope at Restaurant Eiraku, a Western-style eatery run by 82-year-old Mitsuo Sato and his wife Miyoko, 83. Founded in 1967, the restaurant is known for its signature dish 'Chicken Fantasy', a creation of chicken thigh wrapped in egg and topped with demi-glace sauce. With their daughter unable to take over and age catching up, the couple had been preparing to close. However, an intervention comes in the form of 'Atotsugi Restaurant', a successor matchmaking service initiated by Yoshinoya Holdings. 'It's a service that helps find successors,' explains project manager Arata Fujita. 'For people seeking a successor, and those who want to take over a long-established restaurant, we help match them.' Pub Furusato in Shinjuku illustrates how the scheme works. Owner Toru Ochi, 71, had taken over the establishment eight years prior and was seeking a fourth-generation successor. Among the applicants, Ochi selected 42-year-old chef Takao Yamada, who currently prepares meals for a corporate athletic dormitory. Yamada said, 'I'm nervous, but mostly excited.' Fujita, who facilitated the match, joined Yamada on his first day at Furusato. The new chef immediately began learning the restaurant's signature dishes, including its mustard-loaded potato salad. 'This feels like a good fit,' said Ochi. 'It might just be for now, though. You never know, right?' Through these stories, the episode highlights the looming succession crisis in Japan's super-aged society. 'This is not a distant future problem. It's happening right now,' the narrator reminds viewers. Fujita underscores the urgency, saying, 'We can't let them disappear. There are fans out there, customers who care.' In a country where more and more baby boomers are turning 75, the need to preserve culinary heritage has never felt more immediate.
