SANS. Leathergoods
Product Design
Collection of hand-made sturdy leather goods.
Hand-stitched and all made entirely by hand in Germany.
Featuring a selection of belts, bags and other products, the collection is trying to celebrate the ancient tradition of traditional European leatherwork. Made "with lots of love and care" these premium leathergoods are all hand-made at a 100% in Germany by a very experienced professional saddle-makers. Only carefully selected leathers are used to manufacture all the items. The Southern German cowhides are 3,2 - 3,5 mm thick and - of course - are purely vegetably tanned. Edges are color-treated to provide a long-lasting protection and give the perfect finish.
As with the leathers all other materials are very carefully chosen: We use an almost forgotten, extremely durable and tearproof yarn, that had been developed decades ago to accomodate the needs of saddle-makers, that would hand-stitch their items. The buckles, rivets and fasteners are either made from solid brass, solid stainless steel or solid aluminum. No cheap, plated tin-stuff here.
All belts come in three different lenghts, bags are available in different sizes, we believe that all the products are unisex and can be worn/used by anybody.
materials:
vegetably tanned cow-hide, 'Forellenfaden', solid brass, stainless steel and aluminum
