The Frenchman Emil Loewe founded the company, both shop and workshop, in 1856 at the Haymarket 62, London. He is said to have been the first to make briar pipes in England. Richard Hacker maintains that theatre people from the West End were among the shop's heyday aficionados. Loewe's spigots are especially well regarded by lovers of elegance today - they were originally introduced for practical reasons, to facilitate the production of replacement stems for customers abroad.  
Le français Emil Loewé a fondé la compagnie, magasin et atelier, en 1856 au 62, Haymarket à Londres. Il aurait été le premier à fabriquer des pipes en bruyère en  Angleterre. Richard Hacker soutient que les gens de théâtre du West End faisaient partie des passionnés de la boutique à son apogée. Les montages spigots de Loewé sont aujourd’hui particulièrement prisés par les amoureux de l’élégance -ils furent introduits à l’origine pour des raisons pratiques, pour faciliter la fabrication  de tuyaux de remplacement pour les clients à l’étranger.  


The firm and its facilities were later taken over by Civic, well before becoming a fully integrated part of the Cadogan group sometime in the final quarter of the twentieth century. As with other brands belonging to this group, it is not easy to pinpoint a date marking the end of Loewe's independence and singularity. This is partly due to Cadogan's own development from a cooperative to a monolithic entity.
