LOEWE is a Spanish leather house, hand-finished in Madrid and priced in euros at home. Get a real Spanish address, buy the Puzzle, Hammock or Paula's Ibiza pieces direct, and we forward your order to any Australian address — customs paperwork sorted.
Founded in Madrid in 1846 and now part of LVMH, LOEWE turns soft Spanish nappa and suede into icons like the puzzle-cut Puzzle, the slouchy Hammock, the woven Flamenco knot, the structured Amazona and the Gate. Add the Anagram logo pieces, the sun-soaked Paula's Ibiza capsule and the fragrances, and you get a far wider range than the handful of LOEWE counters in Sydney or Melbourne ever stock — all at the euro price the rest of the world marks up from. Bags typically run €1,500–3,000+, so this is about access and authenticity, not dodging tax. Shipping time from Europe to Australia depends on the carrier and service level you choose. Resendify prepares all GST and border-force documentation so your parcel clears customs smoothly.
Loewe is a Spanish luxury house founded in Madrid in 1846, and loewe.com/es is its home market. The full current collection, seasonal and EU-exclusive colourways, and the 180th-anniversary reissues land on the Spanish site first, priced in EUR with 21% IVA included. For an Australian shopper, the headline reason to buy from the source is the made-in-Spain leather and the home-market EUR price: a like-for-like small Puzzle is about EUR 2,600 on loewe.com/es versus roughly AU$4,900 at Loewe Australia. Note that on a high-ticket bag like this the EUR saving narrows once Australian duty and GST are added at the border (see Landed cost), so the most durable wins are EU-exclusive pieces, lower-ticket leather goods, and orders kept under the AUD 1,000 duty threshold.
LOEWE's Spanish store ships within Europe only. An Australian card and an Australian delivery address won't complete the order.
Only a few LOEWE counters operate Down Under, with thin stock. Paula's Ibiza drops, seasonal Puzzle colours and Madrid editions are far easier to find on the Spanish site.
When a style does reach Australia it carries a luxury markup in Australian dollars well above the euro figure at the source.
Most of what you will buy from Loewe is leather goods, and bags and small leather goods are one-size, so conversion only matters for ready-to-wear and shoes. Loewe uses European sizing throughout. The handy rule for Australian shoppers: women's AU and UK numbers are effectively the same, and AU women's clothing is roughly EU minus 28. Loewe leather can run narrow on footwear, so always check the per-product chart before ordering. Loewe Perfumes is metric (50 ml / 100 ml EDP/EDT/Parfum, labelled the same as in Australia), and any EU SPF skincare uses the ISO scale (SPF 30/50/50+) rather than a TGA number. There are no electronics or voltage concerns in this catalogue.
| EU | AU (women) | UK (women) | Approx. bust/chest |

| 38 | 10 | 10 | Women's RTW |
| 40 | 12 | 12 | Women's RTW |

Here is the version most forwarders won't tell you. Australia has a high duty de minimis: if the customs value of your parcel is AUD 1,000 or less, there is no customs duty and no import processing charge (alcohol and tobacco are the exceptions). Above AUD 1,000, customs duty (often around 5% MFN on apparel, footwear, leather and cosmetics; many electronics 0–5%) plus the import processing charge are collected at the border. The EU–Australia free trade agreement is not yet in force, so standard MFN rates still apply—there is no preferential discount on EU-origin goods.
The catch is GST. Australia charges 10% GST with no tax-free threshold, so even a low-value parcel is taxed. On goods valued at AUD 1,000 or less, that 10% is collected up front at checkout by the overseas seller, the platform, or the re-deliverer/forwarder (vendor-collected, DDP-style). Above AUD 1,000, GST is paid at the border together with any customs duty and the import processing charge. And to be straight with you: shipping to your EU forwarding address means EU VAT is charged at purchase and is generally not reclaimable by a private consumer—the tourist refund scheme requires you to personally export the goods with a customs stamp, which forwarding does not provide.
We estimate your full landed cost—item + shipping + estimated duty and GST—before you ship, so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free EU forwarding address and run the calculator.

Be clear-eyed about VAT. The price you see on loewe.com/es already includes 21% Spanish IVA. When you ship to an EU forwarding address, that is a domestic EU sale, so the IVA stays in the price — a private shopper using a forwarder cannot reclaim it. The tourist VAT-refund scheme requires you to personally export the goods through an EU airport with the paperwork, which forwarding does not do, so we never promise a refund. Budget against the IVA-inclusive .es EUR price, not a tax-free one — and on a high-ticket bag, add Australian GST (and duty above AUD 1,000) on top, because that is what you actually pay at the border.
Shipping to an EU forwarding address is a domestic EU sale: 21% Spanish IVA remains in the price and is not reclaimable by a private consumer via forwarding. We do not promise a VAT refund. Australian GST always applies, and duty applies above AUD 1,000. Source: Where To Buy Loewe The Cheapest (country price comparison) — Extrabux.
Loewe leather is light but well-protected, so volumetric weight usually drives the cost. A small Puzzle bag weighs about 0.5 kg on its own (the mini around 0.24 kg), but once it is boxed in Loewe's rigid presentation box with the dust bag and filler, expect a billable shipped weight of roughly 1.2-1.8 kg per bag. Ready-to-wear pieces typically run 0.5-1.5 kg. Couriers charge on whichever is greater — actual weight or volumetric weight (length x width x height / 5000) — and a rigid bag box is bulky for its real weight, so the volumetric figure tends to win.
Here is an illustrative landed-cost build-up for a small Loewe Puzzle bag bought on loewe.com/es and forwarded to Australia, dated 13 Jun 2026. The bag is about EUR 2,600 with 21% Spanish IVA already in the price. At EUR/AUD ≈ 1.643 that is roughly AU$4,272 for the item. The key Australian rules: there is no customs duty at or below a customs value of AUD 1,000, but this bag is well above that threshold, so import duty (apparel/leather goods MFN ~5%, as the EU-Australia FTA is not yet in force) plus 10% GST and the import processing charge are payable at the Australian border on the higher-value consignment. GST is charged on the value of the taxable importation — the item value plus transport and any duty — so it is a little more than 10% of the item alone. Add it all up and the landed total comes out roughly level with the ~AU$4,900 local boutique price, so on a bag this size the saving is modest; the bigger gains are on lower-value orders. For orders at or below AUD 1,000 there is no duty and no processing charge, and the 10% GST is instead collected at checkout by the seller, platform or forwarder.
| Item | Amount (AUD) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Small Puzzle bag (EUR 2,600, 21% IVA incl.) | ~4,272 | EUR/AUD ≈ 1.643, 13 Jun 2026 |
| EU→AU forwarding (boxed ~1.2-1.8 kg billable) | ~90-160 | Use the on-page calculator for the exact figure |
| Customs value (over AUD 1,000) | — | Above the AUD 1,000 de minimis → duty + GST at border |
| Import duty (~5% MFN, apparel/leather) | ~214 | FTA not yet in force; verify category rate |
| GST (10% of item + transport + duty) | ~460 | On the value of the taxable importation per ATO/ABF rules |
| Import processing charge | ~50-83 | Border charge on consignments over AUD 1,000 |
| Illustrative total landed | ~5,090-5,190 | Roughly level with the ~AU$4,900 local boutique price — modest saving on a bag this size; bigger gains under AUD 1,000 |
Illustrative only, dated 13 Jun 2026. Duty rates vary by category and the EU-Australia FTA is not yet in force, so MFN rates apply; the AUD 1,000 figure is a customs-duty de minimis, but 10% GST always applies (collected at checkout by the seller/platform/forwarder at or below AUD 1,000, and at the border above it). Figures depend on the day's exchange rate, the final carrier quote and the exact tariff classification. Official source: Australian Border Force, https://www.abf.gov.au (GST: ATO).

From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
Loewe online offers free returns within 14 days of delivery for items in resaleable condition, with a refund within about 15 days of an approved return; personalised pieces are non-returnable. The catch for forwarding is that international orders must be returned in the country of purchase. A bag bought on loewe.com/es and forwarded to Australia would have to go back into the EU return flow — practically, that means returning it from your EU forwarding address within the 14-day window, at your own time, cost and risk, not a simple drop-off in Australia. Treat the purchase as effectively final once it leaves the EU, and confirm size, colour and model before ordering.

Yes. Resendify gives you a real Spanish address to use at LOEWE checkout. Once your bag arrives at our warehouse we forward it to any address in Australia, from Sydney and Melbourne to Perth and beyond.
Yes — plan for it. The AUD 1,000 low-value threshold means small orders skip duty, but LOEWE bags sit far above it, so 10% GST applies plus customs duty on leather goods and an import processing charge. We declare everything accurately; we don't and can't avoid the GST. For Loewe Spain Ship shipments specifically heading to Australia, our team pre-fills the commercial invoice to streamline clearance.
The euro home price is usually well below the Australian retail price for the same style. After 10% GST, duty and forwarding you can still come out ahead — and you reach Spanish-market stock the limited AU counters never carry.
After your order reaches our Spanish warehouse, forwarding time depends on the carrier and service you choose, with express options available. Express is available for time-sensitive orders.
Yes. Pair a Puzzle or Hammock with a cardholder, belt or a Paula's Ibiza accessory and we combine them into one insured shipment — one customs entry, one forwarding fee across the long haul to Australia.

All shipments include basic cover, and we strongly recommend the additional insurance at checkout for four-figure bags on the long route to Australia.
