The LOEWE Tomato Leaves candle went viral for its unexpected scent and since then, the luxury candle has not only cemented the brand's identity but also inspired memes across social media—with X users sharing images of heirloom tomatoes and stating, "this tomato is so LOEWE."
Satisfying fans' hunger for more tomato-themed products, LOEWE creative director Jonathan Anderson took to Instagram to share a tomato-inspired clutch. Captioned "LOEWE meme to reality," the post offers a look at a wearable accessory that shares the look and color of an heirloom tomato, plus gold hardware.
Although the garden-fresh accessory is not available for purchase, nor is it clear if it will be, fans of memes, fashion and tomatoes are eating up the exchange.
