Who We are
Over 43 years ago, while studying mechanical engineering in university, I had the opportunity to work with leather, and since then, I have not put down this most classic of materials. In that time, I continued to refine my techniques, incorporating both traditional leatherworking methods as well as more modern materials and treatments. I acquired traditional craftsman techniques and over the years I refined the mastery of skills and combined it with function-engineered knowledge and the usage of modern materials. Yet today I apply manufactural methods in a family business. My goal was - and still is - that the products I make be durable and stylish so the wearer regardless to the fashion trends is able to carry my bags at any time. In behalf of this I look for clear-out forms of the fashion, ignoring the excesses.
The result is the compromise of the usability and design. Through innovation and timeless design I offer you my own brand, GION since 1997.
