Working together

Our leather

Our leather comes from two of the most prestigious tanneries in Europe, Perlinger and Weinheimer. The regional raw materials they source combined with conscientious product selection and sustainable production methods results in calfskins of the highest quality with outstanding longevity. The production of the leather takes place in Germany and Poland from the very beginning. Therefore, the tanning of the leather is also subject to strict environmental guidelines in terms of waste water, exhaust air and waste. All requirements are met by Perlinger and Weinheimer.

Regional raw materials

Top quality leather begins with the animals and their environment. Our tanneries source their raw materials exclusively from the Alpine regions and specially selected provenances of southern Germany, where responsible behaviour towards both livestock and the countryside is an absolute priority.

Responsible tanning

During the tanning process our tanneries combine traditional craftsmanship techniques and strict controls to produce finished leathers that are aesthetically pleasing, of the highest quality and free of any harmful substances.

Ecological production

Our tanneries stand for clean, ecological and ethical leathers and attach great importance to traceability along the entire value chain. Perlinger uses only the best environmentally friendly technology, while most of Weinheimer’s leathers are tested according to the OEKO-Tex Leather standard.
