Since 1961, shaped by tradition. Designed for today.
At Von Baer, every piece begins with tradition. The leather we use has been produced in Tuscany using the same time-honored techniques since 1961, preserving centuries-old methods passed down through generations. This slow, deliberate process brings out the natural character of each hide, resulting in products that look extraordinary and age beautifully, telling a story over time.
Every product is crafted by skilled artisans who understand that true quality lies in the smallest details. The result is a collection of accessories created not for a season, but for a lifetime of meaningful use.
We bring timeless design into modern life. Through thoughtful form, prime materials, and traditional craftsmanship, we create pieces that offer quiet confidence to those who appreciate enduring style.
Today, Von Baer leather accessories are carried in over 70 countries. And while the world evolves quickly, we remain grounded in what doesn’t change—heritage, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of enduring quality.
Our approach to making leather products has been and always will be in support of true masters of their craft – from making the materials to putting together the final product. We ensure that you, our customer, only get the finest quality sustainably made product that you can wear and display proudly.
From leather to hardware and lining, we only use premium quality materials. Where possible, we always prefer partnering with Italian manufacturers who produce not only the finest certified Italian leather but also other materials in a sustainable way. Some parts for various products may still be produced elsewhere (smaller hardware elements, for example), but we always ensure that the quality matches the overall expectation from our products.

Leather Von Baer products are made using premium vegetable-tanned Italian leather. Because we believe in the importance of sustainability, each of our product comes with a certificate of leather origin.
Traceability and certification are important to us because we want to leave a positive impact while producing exceptional items. We want to cooperate and support suppliers that are masters of their craft while doing it sustainably and not harming the planet and its people in the process. And we know it’s important to you – our customer.
Unfortunately, the use of terms like “genuine leather” or “true leather” is completely unregulated. For this reason, many companies selling leather products can oversell their products as premium quality when in fact poor quality untraceable leather is used.
The trademark and logo Cuoio Superiore (Superior Leather) guarantees the quality and origin of the leather. It encompasses not just the material itself but also how it has been treated and by whom.
It celebrates and values the generations old tradition and artistry of leathermaking, supporting locals who keep this craft alive and thriving today.
The certification process (unlike the loosely used terms like “real leather”) is fully regulated and traceable, ensuring that certain standards for quality are fully met throughout the whole process.
Zippers
We understand the importance of a good zipper. It can truly make or break a bag. And that’s why we only use the renowned YKK zippers for our products.
Your product is only as good as its weakest link. You don’t want to throw away your bag after a couple of months of use simply because the zipper didn’t hold up.

Hardware & Belt Buckles
Depending on the product, we generally use either brass or aluminum hardware. These include buckles, rivets, and other elements that keep your leather accessory secure and protected.
Von Baer belts broadly fall into two categories – casual and reversible. Casual belts have simple belt buckles that are made of either stainless steel or solid brass. Unlike cheaper buckles that are mostly made from low quality alloys, these retain their quality look even when used daily and they don’t rust.

We sell directly to you
By avoiding middlemen like wholesalers, retailers, and agents with their excessive markups, we can sell directly to our customers and offer the best value for money, while maintaining a close relationship with them.
We believe in honest pricing. You can rest assured that in a month’s time, you will not find a recently purchased item from us on sale at a huge discount as it often happens elsewhere. We respect our customers and don’t try to trick them by offering discounts. We don’t overprice our products to later discount them to make the customer think they are getting a great deal.
We believe that discounts usually mean two things:
1) The item was overpriced in the first place
2) The item is faulty, and the seller is trying to get rid of it
Sustainable long-term growth
Von Baer is entirely self-funded. As a result, we’re able to make independent decisions and prioritize a quality long-term approach to our business. We pour all our resources, as well as heart and soul, into developing truly outstanding and classy products in a sustainable way.
