About Aigner
Aigner was founded in Germany in 1904 by master saddler Anton Aigner, who aimed to make the finest leather goods and riding equipment. The brand eventually shifted focus to luxury handbags and accessories while keeping Anton's dedication to impeccable old-world craftsmanship.
Aigner's design philosophy centers on minimalist, timeless elegance and sophistication. Clean, structured shapes allow the beauty of fine materials to shine through in subdued neutrals and rich colors. Details like the signature 'A' logo plaque and crossbody strap hooks add discreet branding.
The Adita bag epitomizes Aigner's restrained luxury aesthetic. First introduced in 2011, this tote features premium Saffiano leather, an elegantly curved shape, and just a subtle branded plaque and luggage tag. Its enduring popularity has made it an iconic emblem of the brand.
From its early days supplying the Austro-Hungarian imperial family, Aigner has been committed to state-of-the-art production techniques. At their factory in Budapest, artisans hand-assemble each bag from over 100 components. A focus on quality over quantity ensures the longevity expected from investment pieces.
In keeping with company founder Anton Aigner's love of nature, Aigner aims to increase sustainability across its supply chain and production. Initiatives include using metal-free tanned leathers, recycled hardware, reduced packaging, and supporting local manufacturing communities.
With growing recognition worldwide for its emphasis on timeless over trendy, Aigner is positioned to expand as a go-to for luxury essentials that retain value. The brand plans to highlight its quality craftsmanship even more amidst increasing competition from faster-fashion players.
