The Pepita pattern

Pepita is much more than just a design — it embodies the fusion of tradition and modern style. Embracing the spirit of the 1960s, Porsche first officially featured the Pepita pattern in the original 911’s equipment catalog. It quickly became a recognizable Porsche feature, adorning not only seat centers but also door panels, trunks and glove compartments. To this day, Pepita is one of the most popular fabrics for refining vehicles in the Sonderwunsch (special request) workshop. As a tribute to the history of Porsche, the iconic Pepita pattern continues to be featured in a variety of our accessories, blending tradition with modern standards of quality and design.

The Pascha pattern

With its fascinating pattern, reminiscent of the movement of a checkered flag, Pascha became a symbol of progress, dynamism and the experimental design language of the 1970s. Its unique visual effect creates a sense of motion even when standing still, reflecting the sporting spirit that continues to define Porsche to this day. As one of the most iconic interior designs in the brand’s history, Pascha is now inspiring a new generation of Porsche enthusiasts.
