Tinto de Verano: the drink of the season for SS24. 🍷

There’s no better way to exemplify classic simplicity in the summer than with a Tinto de Verano. It’s the less pretentious cousin of Sangria. Consisting of:

• 3-4 Ice Cubes
• 4 Ounces of Red Wine (We recommend a Spanish Tempranillo for this Spanish drink, or sub with Non-Alcoholic Red wine if that’s your preference)
• 4 Ounces of Lemon-Lime Soda, such as sprite or 7-Up (you can also substitute for a lemon flavored mineral water - in Spain they use a soda called “Gaseosa”)
• 1 Slice of Lemon for Garnish.

Enjoy! We think this is the drink of the season, but we’d love to hear your thoughts on the quintessential summer drink that exemplifies the classic simplicity of spring/summer.

What’s the best cafe racer for men? We think it’s the Rufino in Black. Inspired by Racer history and the artist Rufino Tamayo, this jacket is versatile, light weight, and sized for all body types.

The isla duffel bag in full grain lambskin leather.

Pigmented in our unique aniline petrol blue and black, creating this unique and detailed midnight blue.

Aniline leather is a type of leather dyed exclusively with soluble dyes. The dye colours the leather without producing the uniform surface of a topcoat paint or insoluble pigmented sealant, as on other leathers, and so retains the hide’s natural surface.

The softness and richness of aniline leather contribute to its high-quality status. However, because aniline leather is not coated, it is more susceptible to staining, fading, and scratches.

Allowing you to develop a patina as unique as your life, this legacy piece will last generations of travel.

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” –William Shakespeare

Our natural processes and timeless craft are unified by a commitment to ethical responsibility. The rumorosa bag is inspired by nature, and iconic Mexican pioneering. We craft each piece from all types of leather with three pillars: quality, family, and legacy leading the charge.

As if you needed another reason to love Mexico, today chose Torreón, Mexico to officially broadcast the Solar Eclipse.

For a little over two years, the city has been preparing to record this natural phenomenon: “We began to robotize the observatories to be up to date and have the necessary capacity to make a transmission,” commented Eduardo Hernández, director of the Torreón planetarium in an interview.

The total solar eclipse in Coahuila occurred at precisely 12:17, Mexico City time. Attendees enjoyed 4 minutes and 28 seconds of darkness, 14 seconds longer than what was observed in Mazatlán. This phenomenon is due to the moon’s closer proximity to Earth, resulting in a path width ranging between 108 and 122 miles across North America.

If that isn’t enough reason, we’re working on a luxury travel guide for one of our favorite places: - to help you celebrate. Stay tuned for more.

Standing out for the right reasons means living with your own unique stance at the forefront.
