Travel Must-Haves: Aman Essentials presents its first leather collection
In addition to a select homeware collection, Aman Essentials has released its first exclusive line of leather accessories.
August 12, 2022
Founded over 30 years ago by an Indonesian journalist in Thailand, the Aman Group is now one of the most exclusive and prestigious luxury hotel brands in the world. What began with the opening of the now legendary Amanpuri on the island of Phuket, has transformed into a hotel group with more than 30 properties. Ownership has changed since then, the brand has grown, but what has remained unchanged is the standard that Aman sets for itself: to achieve the highest level of luxury and quality. The Aman Essentials collection also lives up to that goal.

The Leather Collection by Aman
In 2021, Aman Essentials celebrated great success with its ready-to-wear line. No wonder – who wouldn't want to take a piece of Aman home with them? Now the brand is launching its first leather collection. Card cases, wallets, passport covers, handbags and smaller collection items comprise the selection. A total of 19 classic designs with a contemporary touch is now available.
The designs shine for their simplicity, characterized by clear, geometric shapes. A nod to one of the most outstanding features of the Aman houses, reflected in the leather collection. Less subtle, but all the more elegant, the accessories feature the leather "A" from the brand's logo in clever ways. The different leather variations are a reverence to the unique destinations of the luxury hotels.

Elaborate processing
The production uses complex layering and inlay techniques. A part of the beautiful pieces is elaborately created by hand. Family businesses from France and Italy guarantee each individual product's outstanding quality. They process only the highest quality lamb, goat and calf leather. The products' soft structure ensures that they fit ergonomically to the body.

Ancient construction processes meet ancient craftsmanship, ensuring that each piece will provide a lifetime of use. They're meant to be more than just accessories: "The combination of our sincere attention to detail, our pursuit of quality at all costs, and our belief in the restorative power of simplicity represents the 'Spirit of Aman'. Aman's very first line of leather accessories was created to capture that spirit and to be truly loved," says Kristina Romanova, CEO of Aman Essentials.
