Schröder Cowhide Belt

The family Ludwig Schröder, located in Uetersen in Schleswig-Holstein, has been in the leather business since 1825. For 140 years, the family tanned leather on their own farms and processed it into leather goods – until 1964. At that time, they gave up the tannery and decided to specialize solely in the processing of leather for belts and bags. Only the best vegetable or pit tanned cowhide from selected European tanneries is processed here. One of Schröder’s principles: The top layer of leather is barrel-dyed and never simply spray-painted.

The family-run business Ludwig Schröder in Uetersen, a small town in Schleswig-Holstein (Sleswick-Holsatia), produces these belts of the highest quality. The core material is always the best vegetable or pit tanned cow's leather from selected European tanneries. The leather is barrel dyed and not sprayed with dye, leaving the surface structure intact, lively and natural. The Schröder firm has been in business since 1825. For 140 years until 1964, they produced leather goods from leather they tanned themselves. They then stopped tanning to concentrate on the manufacture of leather goods, but they still have the expertise engrained in their family roots and choose their leather accordingly.
