At Hermani Heritage, we believe the best craftsmanship isn’t invented - it’s remembered. This summer, we returned to Italy, to see, be inspired and to listen. To the pace. The textures. The rituals. Together with our long-time friends at Why & Co., we traveled across regions that have shaped both our brands.
This three-part journal shares what we saw, what we carried home, and what continues to inspire how we make things that last.

An Italian Summer - Florence
Florence is where elegance slows into detail. After the sea and light of Cinque Terre, we arrived in the city of stone, leather, and timeless craft.
Walking its narrow streets, past Renaissance façades and workshops where time seems to stand still, we felt the quiet strength of traditions that endure. The same values guide Hermani Heritage: patience, precision, permanence.
Here, our long-term partner Why & Co draws from one of the most prestigious tanneries in Florence. Their shoes - like our socks - are born from a belief that true luxury does not begin with trends, but with the integrity of materials. Cotton and leather. Fibres and hides. Together they form the foundation of timeless dressing.

Florence reminded us that luxury is not loud. It reveals itself in the subtle details: the hand-linked toe seam, the leather sole that softens with time, the way colour glows against centuries-old stone.
This chapter in Florence reaffirms why Hermani exists — to bring Italian craftsmanship to the world, one step at a time.
