Everyone has a nose, but not all of them are finely-tuned instruments that produce flavors and aromas that sell millions or billions of dollars of product. The nose on Per Hermansson's face is exactly that. Hermansson's sensory skills have launched international bestsellers like Kahlua, Malibu, and Absolut Vodka. As the director of sensory design at The Absolut Company, Hermansson is charged with the task of developing new flavors of vodka that bring back sales that have sagged with younger consumers.
Charlie and Dawn Trevor are the owners and operators of Equus Leather in County Durham, United Kingdom. Charlie has been producing leather products for over 22 years, inspired by a leather suitcase that his grandmother used to travel around the world. The Lloyd coat wallet is based on a 1950s wallet carried by Charlie's grandfather, updated for modern life with things like slots for credit cards. As with all of Equus Leather's products, the construction of the Lloyd wallet shows the painstaking handmade process and fine materials that are the company's hallmark.
