HANDCRAFT

Making shoes is and remains manual labour, there are almost no automated processes. Around 150 production steps and an average of 125 individual parts are required for each shoe.

Design, development, administration and the majority of production have been based in Germany for over 100 years. In 2001, the company opened two of its own factories in Hungary.

CONCEPT STORES

The opening of the first concept store in 2008 was a decisive milestone in the further expansion of the brand's presence. Since then, twelve more stores have been opened in Germany, Austria and Luxembourg. Our concept stores are located in the most important major cities and medium-sized centres, such as Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Hamburg and Salzburg.
