about

Aigner is one of the most well-known German luxury leather lifestyle brands. It was founded by Etienne Aigner together wich Heiner H. Rankl, a businessman with a keen feel for the future and an equally strong sense of tradition, in Munich back in 1965.

The characteristic Aigner "A" in the form of a small horseshoe combined with the Aigner-typical Antic red colour was soon not only a striking feature of the best handbags, belts and expensive travel luggage but also leather-encased cigarette lighters, corkscrews, pipesmokers' accessories, and even backgammon boxes.

They've become a part of the lives of the company's sophisticated customers: true leather and handbag classics that were designed in the 70s and that made Aigner world-famous: The distinctive Saddle Bag and the unmistakable Doctor's Bag.

During the 1980s Aigner extended its product range by awarding licences for watches, jewellery and eyewear. In 1990 licences were awarded for the womenswear and menswear collection.

In 2003 Aigner celebrated a spectacular debut at the Milan fashion shows. The relaunch of the company's brand architecture was a success.

In 2005 Aigner opened over 20 new stores, rapidly expanding its business activities in the Near and Far East and embarking on a highly effective quality offensive in the leather sector.

Today the brand is a symbol for unique craftsmanship, highest quality and perfection. A brilliant combination of German precision and Tuscan tradition.
