About the Item

This charming leather horse figure, designed by Dimitri Omersa for Abercrombie Fitch, dates to the mid-20th century and reflects the brand’s storied heritage in outdoor and sporting goods. Constructed from hand-stitched leather over a solid frame, the piece has developed a beautifully aged patina that highlights its vintage appeal. The mane is crafted from a series of cut leather strips, lending a primitive, sculptural quality to its form. Standing freely on four legs, the horse’s stylized proportions and tactile surfaces make it both a whimsical decorative object and a collector’s item. Likely intended as a child’s toy or a novelty accent in a gentleman’s study, it embodies a time when Abercrombie Fitch curated adventurous and high-quality lifestyle pieces.
