About Oberwerth
Our history
Oberwerth is not just a bag. Oberwerth is an idea. A statement. A conviction. Materials of the highest quality, outstanding craftsmanship as well as sustainability in production and responsibility for our environment - these are the values that drive us.
Our designers and bag makers spend weeks and months developing a bag, searching for the right materials, creating the first prototype and fine-tuning on the way to the perfect product. We use the finest materials, especially the best leathers from the world's best tanneries in Germany, Italy and France, as well as the most valuable hardware. Through the intelligent design, the use of these finest materials and the high-quality workmanship by the best craftsmen, we combine all individual parts into a perfect product that convinces all along the line, inspires and gives pleasure every day anew. "Only the best" - that is our quality promise to you.
Our
Philosophy
We believe in quality that lasts. In products that are well thought out and gain character with each passing year. That's why we consciously focus on sustainable materials, responsible production and a timeless design that is not based on short-lived trends, but on real style.
Our philosophy is simple: less, but better. Products that give pleasure - for a lifetime.

Craftsmanship & materials
Our bags are the result of traditional craftsmanship and the finest materials. From velvety soft, vegetable-tanned leather to hard-wearing high-tech fabrics and specially selected metal fittings, we only use materials that impress - with their quality, feel and aesthetics.
Production takes place in small, specialized workshops with decades of experience. Here, work is still done by hand, with care and passion. This means that no two bags are the same - each one is unique.

Sustainability & responsibility
For us, sustainability starts with our attitude. We pay attention to short distances, fair working conditions and resource-conserving processing. Our leather comes from responsible sources and is tanned in an environmentally friendly way. Packaging, transportation and production follow the principle of conscious action.
For us, sustainability also means creating products that last. Products that can be repaired, that you won't get tired of, that can be passed on. An Oberwerth bag is not a disposable product, but a statement against the fast pace of life.
