Etienne Aigner, who lived from 1905-2000, was an Austro-Hungarian designer who worked for design houses such as Dior and Hermes in the 1950s before debuting his own signature line in 1965. This is a very early piece in supple, wearable condition! Aigner was renowned for his quality leather goods and though the brand has changed ownership, it can still be found in high-end retail shops today.
