Crafted in Germany.
Let's be honest here: to produce goods in Germany is expensive. That's correct. Obviously our purchasing price would be much lower if we would produce in far-east, same as most other brands do it. But these brands do sell for the same price (or even higher) that we're asking for. The reason is simple: the high margins are needed to fund the global marketing campaigns, pay for big showrooms and expensive brand ambassadors. That's why eventually the margin needs to be that high.
Can be done - doesn't have to be.
At STYLEMATE® we are convinced that a product doesn't need to travel around the globe to make people happy and to satisfy consumer needs. Months of transportation by sea are the result of capital gains the corporations need to achieve to finance overheads and satisfy shareholders. Eventually this is anything but environmentally friendly and sustainable.
That's why the small leather goods Stylemate offers are produced in Leipzig (eastern Germany) and Hamburg (northern Germany). We use vendors and facilities that have decades of experience and history. The people working on our products are as passionate as we are and 'craftsmanship' is more than an expression for them.
Durch die heimische Produktion verzichten wir bewusst auf lange Transportwege, verpacken die von euch bestellen Produkte ohne den Gebrauch von Plastik in unserer Firmenzentrale im Herzen Bayerns und schicken diese schnell – und ohne viel CO2 beim Transport zu erzeugen – zu euch nach Hause. Das schont die Umwelt. Und ihr erhaltet großartige Lederaccessoires, Made in Germany, zu einem fairen Preis.
It's a win-win, that's how we love it.
