They’re produced by Tärnsjö Tannery, a small family owned company about two hours north of Stockholm, Sweden and one of the few remaining tanneries in Europe where the process is still 100% organic. The end result is of the highest quality possible and features leather that will age and wear beautifully. Every piece is handmade and shows Gant’s passion for quality, value for money and keeping the heritage alive. The collection delivers the goods in two colorways, natural undyed and cognac. The lineup includes a leather slip case, phone cover, card holder and belt.

Libero Ferrero introduces their debut collection, one that unites old world craftsmanship with modern design. The luxury bags and cases feature custom Horween leathers and Holland & Sherry fabrics and a handmade construction to give the brand a signature collection that’s clean and masculine. Brothers Matt, Adam and Peter Lafferty founded Libero Ferrero in homage to their grandfather, the brands namesake, which pays reverence to the creativity, ingenuity and dedication of his generation. From these first looks, we’d say they’re on the right track.
Libero Ferrero can be found at select boutiques in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago as well as online at www.liberoferrero.com. See the exclusive look at their Holiday 2011 lookbook below.
