Designer Notes
Omersa
est. 1927
Dimitri Omersa was in the leather trade. He met a man named 'Old Bill' that was making leather Pigs to Liberty's, a store in London. When Old Bill decided to retire, Omersa took over the business and kept supplying the leather animals to LIberty's. Over time, he had idea for other animals including the most well known, the rhinocerous. Still made to this day, the Omersa leather animals are a great talking point, functional stool and fun piece of art.
