For over 130 years, and now in its fourth generation, the master leather craftsmen at BRAUN BÜFFEL have been working with this exquisite material, stitch by stitch, with precision and passion. The full strength and refinement of leather speak from their uncluttered design objects. Clean forms and straight lines create space for precious details, as befits a true "Made in Germany" creation. Perfectly conceived functionality ensures that these cherished leather objects become indispensable companions – for years to come.

Mindfulness
The company has always prioritized minimizing material waste in production. A responsible approach to resources is deeply ingrained in the company's DNA. This principle guides not only our results but our entire operation: from the raw materials we use and the careful handling of natural products to our choice of suppliers and partners. This commitment is also reflected in our elegant, timeless products, which emphasize functionality and attention to detail.
LONGEVITY
When you hold a leather product in your hand, you're often unaware of the love and craftsmanship that goes into it. The guiding principle of "durability," inherent in leather, is deeply ingrained in the company. Beyond the already very long lifespan of a genuine leather product, BRAUN BÜFFEL further extends the product lifecycle with its "lifetime repair service ." The skilled leather craftsmen of Kirn lovingly prepare each piece by hand.
The manufactory repurposes the leather pieces. Transparent information about leather processing, production, and care plays a central role. The uniqueness of the craftsmanship and the appreciation of the material leather are palpably anchored in all principles.
The motto "Leather - A Lifelong Tradition" distinguishes BRAUN BÜFFEL in many ways. As a family business, the material and the family tradition accompany every generation. This is characterized by honest, familial, and values-driven management. The Braun family philosophy is also reflected in the elegant, timeless products, which place great emphasis on functionality and detail.
