LONDON — Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe send-off is not with a glass of Champagne, but with a Hennessy decanter in a leather case that imitates a chestnut burr.
It’s a fitting present and last collaboration for the creative director of the Spanish fashion house of 11 years.
Loewe and Hennessy are both owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

Hennessy has expanded its Paradis cognac into 3 liters in a decanter-shaped bottle that’s accompanied with a leather case, belt and neck clip, as well as two glasses and a pipette. The 3 liter set is priced on application, while a 70 centiliter Hennessy Paradis with the same leather accessories retails for 2,300 pounds.
The leather case is available in three colors: anise, ambar and chestnut, which are sold exclusively at the Hennessy space at Harrods.
“This collaboration with Loewe is a celebration of the meticulous craftsmanship we put into every drop of Hennessy Paradis and encapsulates our shared heritage in artful innovation. We’re excited to launch this collection and offer collectors and connoisseurs a unique sensory and aesthetic experience,” said Laurent Boillot, chief executive officer of Hennessy.

The collaboration is Anderson’s last toast with Loewe.
As reported by WWD, the creative director is departing after 11 years at the helm of Loewe, which he transformed from a small, reputable Spanish leather house into a vibrant global luxury brand steeped in contemporary culture.
Loewe announced his exit in a short statement shared exclusively with WWD. It did not say what Anderson’s next move might be — or mention any successor.
