The smell of leather can represent so much in Italian culture, from a couture jacket to ancient Roman armor. But for the Italian edition of their Cuirs Nomades series, MEMO and Alienor Massenet chose the ultimate depiction of the quintessentially Italian la bella vita- the leather-wrapped steering wheel of a top-down cabriolet hugging the curves on a coastal highway, young lovers tucked into the seats, hair whipping in the countryside-scented wind, a sumptuous picnic packed into a basket in the backseat.
