The Heritage Soul style archetype
Craftsmanship, history, tradition and timeless design
The essence
You buy for the second generation. Provenance, archive and atelier are not marketing words to you but proof that an object was made to outlive its owner. You would rather repair than replace, you keep the papers, and part of the pleasure is that the right people understand exactly what you are wearing.
