Porsche Pepita black-green - HEEL TREAD Socks

The Pepita was another great moment of inspiration from the Porsche design department from Stuttgart.

Pepita comes from the days when the standard Porsche interior was not a monotonous shade of leather but Porsche used a plethora of unique patterns to cover the interior.

Car manufacturers once paid little attention to their color and fabric departments, but Porsche has a history - besides making a sports car - of creating unique and bold upholstery patterns that have always acted as an additional lure for their above-average fashion-conscious clientele.

So is the story with the Pepita, one of the most famous and recognizable chairs. A relative of the 1800s Scottish houndstooth.

The name Pepita has its origins in a Spanish dancer who performed in Stuttgart in the 1850s and was known throughout Germany.

Introduced in 1963, alongside the birth of Recaro - a descendant of Reutter, a Stuttgart car seat supplier - the Pepita was first used in the late 356Cs and then followed by the 901/911, 912 and 914 models until 1973.

It has since reappeared in the 50th Anniversary 911 Carrera in 2013, and through Porsche's "Heritage Design Packages," Pepita is now making a comeback as a premium option in the sportiest models Stuttgart has to offer.
