Understated Sculptural Luxury: The Modern Vision of Little Liffner
Origins and Founding
Little Liffner was founded in 2012 by Paulina Liffner von Sydow in Stockholm. With a background in fashion PR and a keen eye for art and architecture, Liffner launched the brand to offer sculptural leather handbags with a refined, minimalist sensibility. Rooted in Scandinavian design principles and made in Italy, Little Liffner quickly found its niche as a contemporary luxury label that delivers quiet elegance with a twist.
Ownership and Leadership
Paulina Liffner continues to lead the brand as founder and creative director. Little Liffner is independently owned and operates with a tight focus on timeless design, slow production, and artisan leathercraft.
Aesthetic and Design Language
Little Liffner’s aesthetic is clean, sculptural, and purposefully subtle. The bags are modern in form—curved lines, soft geometric shapes, oversized handles—but made for everyday use. Crafted from Italian calf leather, suede, or croc embossing, the pieces come in sophisticated colorways like forest green, cognac, taupe, and ivory. While minimal, the brand embraces playful proportions and architectural references, with bags often compared to wearable sculptures.
