When choosing natural leather to manufacture footwear, particular attention is paid to the material thickness of the leather. We require strong leather with extreme durability for a long service life, and supple leather that is easy to work with and which produces extremely comfortable footwear.
The combination of these properties shows the true art of leather production at Perwanger. But the raw material for leather production, cowhide, is particularly important for Perwanger. We focus on hide from livestock from the alpine region, because the leather produced from this cattle is of particularly consistent and high quality. This enables us to produce fine, yet robust leathers like the “Perwanger Bergrind”.
