In a move that honors design heritage while keeping it fresh, German accessories brand TSATSAS has introduced a striking new color for the iconic 931 handbag. The latest hue, a rich burgundy, joins the existing palette of black, concrete gray, and khaki green that debuted in 2018.
A Timeless Design
The 931 bag is rooted in a design by renowned industrial designer Dieter Rams, who originally crafted it in 1963 while working at Braun. Rams is celebrated for his minimalist yet functional approach, famously encapsulated in his principle of “less, but better.” The handbag reflects this ethos, maintaining its rigorous, compact design that has stood the test of time.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Produced by TSATSAS artisans in Offenbach am Main, the bag is made from high-quality calfskin leather sourced from a tannery in Sweden that adheres to strict standards of traceability and environmental management. This commitment to sustainability is a nod to Rams’ principles, emphasizing the importance of honest and long-lasting products.
A Personal Touch
Rams designed the 931 bag with a personal connection, inspired by his wife, Ingeborg Kracht, who also served as his muse. “I designed this bag in the same way I designed everything else, so largely based on right angles, but perhaps a little more emotionally, more personally,” Rams stated during its original release. This blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal makes the bag not just a fashion accessory, but a piece of design history.
Where to Find the 931
The new burgundy iteration of the 931 handbag is now available for purchase on the TSATSAS website, ensuring that this classic piece remains relevant in today’s fashion landscape.
