Best materials
We only use high-quality materials for our products
Blank leather and cowhide
We purchase our untreated leather from a German tannery that has been working sustainably, with passion and respect for people and nature for over 100 years. Higher hide prices ensure that the farmers keep their animals well and are paid and remunerated accordingly.
Aniline leathers are not varnished, which means that significantly fewer chemicals are used.
Aniline leathers are valued for longer, feel better and last longer.
Greased leather
Our greased leather also comes from Germany. Greased leather is characterised by the special greasing of the leather and is therefore particularly supple, non-slip and flexible. Greased leather is also characterised by its weather resistance, durability and resilience, making it ideal for our collars and leads
Leather colours
Some of our collars, leads and dog tags are hand-painted with a lot of effort. We only use acrylic colours, which are water-based and suitable for all smooth leathers. The colour adheres to the product like a second skin.
Linen thread for the hand seam/saddle seam
I only use MEISI thread for the ALPHA collection.
Meisi Linen is a high-quality waxed thread made from 100% linen, which was specially developed for hand stitching.
Yarns
The high-quality yarn I use to wrap the WRAPI'S collection is waxed and dirt-repellent.
Fittings
We only use stainless steel and brass fittings for our products, which are highly resistant to breakage.
Wool felt - 100% sheep - is more beautiful than ever!
The felts we use for our products, which are also known as design felts because of their beauty and quality, are made of wool felt from German production. The wool hairs are bonded together by applying moisture, heat, pressure and mechanical stress - the fulling process. Due to their scaly structure, they interlock with each other and finally form a solid surface structure. Machine production guarantees homogeneous quality. The densely felted surface is finally shorn, which ensures the smooth surface.
‘Genuine’ wool felt is impregnated to a certain degree against dirt and moisture due to the natural wool grease content in combination with the close interlinking of the hairs.
Cowhide
Some of our products contain cowhide. They come from German and Swiss agriculture and the food industry. The cowhides are a waste product there. Each cowhide is unique in shape, colour, structure and size.
The saddler seam
Two separate threads are used to create the saddler's seam, which are passed through the leather in opposite directions. This double lockstitch seam significantly increases the strength of the seam and ensures that the seam remains intact even if one thread is damaged.
