As we celebrate 40 years of Toscano, we find ourselves looking back at the moments, designs, and stories that shaped who we are today. The Heritage Collection is our way of honouring that journey—a tribute to where we began, and the purpose that shaped us from the beginning.
Inspired by Duran, one of the most iconic series from our early years, these reimagined pieces bring together timeless style and purposeful design. They reflect our founding philosophy: to create products that serve the people and last for generations.
The Legacy of Duran
When we first launched Duran in 1988, we didn’t expect it to become what it is today. With its signature dark green finish and enduring design, it quickly became one of our bestsellers—and, over time, a true icon.
What means the most to us, however, is how Duran has lived on through you—carried across decades, milestones, and memories. Here are some of the stories you’ve shared with us:
“These were the first Toscano pieces I ever owned. I had just started working then, and had fallen in love with the green colour of the Duran bags. I saved up and eventually bought a bag for myself.” - Kristyn
“My dad bought this bag for my mum’s birthday—back when she was still his girlfriend—at Sogo in Raffles City, where she worked. My sister and I loved it when she first showed it to us, and she let us use it whenever we went out with our friends.
It was because of my mum that I started looking into whether the brand still existed, as I wanted a bag in a similar style! Although the brand’s style has evolved, the one I use is still functional, and now even my mother-in-law owns a Tocco Toscano as well.” - Rachel
“In the ‘90s, I often attended meetings at our business partners’ offices and needed a reliable briefcase to carry all the materials.
While shopping at a department store, a green briefcase on Toscano’s counter caught my attention. It looked great and stylish, and it was spacious enough to fit everything I needed for my meetings. Even better, it came with a notebook in a matching green cover. Without hesitation, I bought the briefcase.
From that moment until now, as a retiree, Toscano has remained the brand I trust for its quality, elegance, and trendy designs. Over the years, I have been carrying different types of bags for travel, leisure and special occasions.” - Michelle
Honouring the Past, Designed for Today
With the Heritage Collection, we celebrate the craftsmanship that shaped us in the 1980s by bringing back our original hardware. Designed in the spirit of Duran’s signature details, the Toscano Heritage Bag Charm comes with every bag, featuring our classic logo for a nostalgic, refined accent. Our signature ’80s zipper pullers also make a return, thoughtfully elevating these pieces.
Every piece in the collection nods to Duran’s iconic “Berry” finish with the Classico colourway, while three smooth leather shades give a fresh, modern twist—reimagining a timeless style for today’s world.
The Heritage Collection launches on 09.04.2026.
