Established in 2014, Vanacci creates distinctive pendants, bracelets, wallets, cufflinks and watches at its headquarters in Leeds, Yorkshire. The Nightfall range has been designed to feature phases of the moon and incorporates Vanacci’s patented Lockstone material; an advanced technology that allows the wearer to spray their favourite scent onto the product, which is then diffused throughout the day. The life of cologne is extended by up to seven times with just one spray on a Vanacci bracelet, compared to wearing perfume directly on the skin. At the heart of Vanacci’s products rests a micro-porus structure and an internal reservoir, capable of absorbing and retaining moisture. The range will now include an essential oil pendant, with increased surface area for maximum hold of every fragrance and a brand new composite stone suitable for oil based scents. Headed-up by Managing Director, James Whitfield, Vanacci consists of a tight-knit team of designers, engineers and fashion professionals with more than 20 years’ experience in the design industry. Commenting on the launch of the new products, James said, “Following the success of the initial launch of the Nightfall collection, we’re delighted to have extended the product line to offer the essential oil pendants. Launching our products via Kickstarter, it is always fantastic to see such a positive uptake and interest in our innovations, and we love to keep exciting our customers with new concepts.” The news follows Vanacci being shortlisted in a trio of business and export awards in the Yorkshire region.
