Ted Carbery: the heritage of his skilful Irish leather craftmanship – now exclusively at ARAN Switzerland |
In the 1950s, Ted Carbery – a masterful Irish craftsman – revolutionised the world of luxury leather bags. Despite great physical impairments, he created extraordinary leather bags using only his left hand and mouth. His passion for quality and innovation set a high standard in the industry and made every piece of his creations a testament to his superhuman capacity and resilience.
Ted Carbery’s pioneering spirit and meticulous love to details left a lasting impression in the world of premium leather goods. Over 70 years later, ARAN Switzerland honors Ted’s legacy whose brand is still designed in Ireland and handcrafted with the utmost care in the best production facilities in Italy. The TED collection is now available in our webshop and embodies the tradition of Irish craftsmanship in every bag.
The revival: tradition meets modern elegance
In 2017, Brendan Carbery, Ted’s grandson, and his wife Kasia decided to preserve his grandfather’s legacy by revitalising the brand. Their aim was to combine the tradition of artisan leather craftsmanship with modern luxury standards. They chose the finest Italian leathers and solid brass hardware to craft bags that are not only functional, but also timeless works of art.
The TED bags in our ARAN Switzerland shop perfectly embody tradition and modern elegance. By partnering with Italian artisans, Brendan and Kasia ensure that each bag meets Ted Carbery’s high standards and is appreciated by leather lovers worldwide.
Heritage of excellence: Ted’s 1959 diary as leitmotif
Ted Carbery’s diary from 1959, which records meticulously his techniques and passion for leather craftsmanship, serves today as leitmotif of the brand’s excellence. It is not simply a valuable inheritance, but a source of inspiration for future generations of craftsmen who wish to dedicate themselves to the ideal of perfection in leather craftsmanship. Ted Carbery’s principles live on through Brendan and Kasia who are committed to immortalising his philosophy in each of their TED bags.
