Heritage Materials, Modern Craftsmanship
Every Aarni has grown in the wild for decades, with some reaching a century. Our pure Scandinavian design highlights the natural beauty of these exceptional materials. Working with unique elements like wood and elk leather comes with its challenges, which is why we’ve carefully chosen our production partners – ensuring that only the finest craftsmanship brings our designs to life.
Nature’s elegance, engineered to last
Watches
Sustainably sourced premium hardwood, precise Swiss Ronda and Japanese Miyota movements, and durable 316L stainless steel—Aarni watches are built to stand the test of time, both in design and durability. Many models feature interchangeable straps, including luxurious Finnish elk leather, giving you the freedom to switch up your style effortlessly.
True quality goes beyond materials. Our watches are expertly assembled in Shenzhen, China, by a trusted, family-owned partner we’ve worked with for years. With a commitment to fair wages, ethical working conditions, and expert craftsmanship, we ensure both quality and integrity at every step. To uphold these values, our manufacturing partner undergoes regular third-party audits by BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), ensuring compliance with ethical labor standards.
Where elegance meets Luxurious materials
Bags
Made from premium wild materials like Finnish elk leather and Scandinavian bovine leather, our bags embody true natural luxury and durability. Designed with classic Scandinavian elegance, they offer versatility with interchangeable straps – one bag, multiple styles.
To bring these materials to life, we’ve partnered with expert artisans in Budapest, Hungary, and Shenzhen, China—regions with deep-rooted traditions in leather craftsmanship. The unique thickness and texture of elk and bovine leather require specialized techniques, ensuring that every stitch, fold, and detail meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
Strength in nature, innovation in design
Sunglasses
Aarni sunglasses aren’t just about style—they’re about strength. By seamlessly blending natural hardwood with our innovative Aarni Carbon Core™ structure, we’ve created frames that are as durable as they are lightweight. Designed to complement various face shapes, they offer comfort without compromise, while premium polycarbonate lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. Many models also feature polarization for enhanced clarity and reduced glare.
Our sunglasses are crafted in collaboration with a family-owned factory near Shanghai, China—renowned experts in wooden eyewear. By utilizing cross-laminated wood veneers reinforced with a carbon fiber core, we ensure that every pair offers unparalleled durability. With continuous product development and innovation at the heart of our partnership, we are proud to create some of the world’s finest wooden sunglasses.
