If you're someone who values quality, sustainability, and attention to detail, then you've come to the right place. Here you'll find handcrafted leather goods made of high-quality vegetable-tanned leather. Each piece is handmade and carefully hand-stitched by a pair of hands in my small studio in Munich with great attention to detail, ensuring unique, durable, and long-lasting products. Most of the items can be personalized with initials, a name or a date, making them a truly exclusive
and special gift. All the products are made to order, avoiding
any kind of overproduction and unnecessary waste.

The Leather

For all the products in the shop we use high quality vegetable tanned genuine leather from Italian tanneries. Vegetable tanning is the oldest and most traditional leather tanning method. Like the name suggests, veg-tanning is an organic method relying on natural vegetable tannins from trees or plants. It usually takes longer to tan leather using this method, but the result is a leather with distinctive aesthetic that ages beautifully. High quality leather lasts a long time and unlike most man-made, or synthetic materials it gets better with age, developing beautiful rich patina and wear pattern that is individual to the user - much like a favourite pair of jeans.
Leather as a material fits very well with the 'buy less, buy better' ethos.
