What’s special about the 1926 Heritage Collection?

Definitely the vegetable tanned leather. Vegetable tanning is one of the oldest and most intricate tanning processes in the great Tuscan leather tradition and gives each piece its own character and vintage charm. It preserves all the beauty of the original leather. Each piece will be unique from the beginning of the process and becomes more interesting after personal usage. The way the leather is treated creates a soft touch and a great leather smell. The tanning also gives each piece its rich dark brown colour and a worn-in charm.

What are the design inspirations?
