Passion for Craftsmanship

For half her life, Christina Rosenberg has been building this brand – without knowing it. Perhaps she had a hunch. At seven years old, she wished for her first sewing machine and taught herself tailoring. Because she couldn't find the fabrics she wanted to work with, she painted white yardage herself. At 16, her creativity and craftsmanship were honored with the Aenne Burda Young Talent Award.

However, Rosenberg didn't become a designer. After completing her vocational training and business administration studies, her path first led her to an internationally active fashion company, where Rosenberg lived in Paris, among other places, to lay the foundation for further international retail expansion. Most recently, she managed the fortunes of a world-renowned luxury house originating from saddle-making. For 13 years, she was responsible as managing director for Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic.

"I developed my fascination for perfection – no compromises on quality!"

 

 Rosenberg feels at home in the family-run company. She once again has the smell of leather in her nose in the ateliers – just like in her childhood when she grew up with horses and earned her pocket money by oiling saddles and carriage harnesses. 

Vision & Products

A beautiful briefcase for men and women – that sounds so self-evident. But in all her years as a managing director carrying folders and laptops, Christina Rosenberg wondered why such models were nowhere to be seen, not in meeting rooms, not at airports.

Yet, the demand for perfectly crafted leather and that for a well-designed work bag for technical equipment do not have to be mutually exclusive. At ROSENBERG, we bring both worlds together and have thought about how slow craft fits into modern life. Because we love the feel, look, and soothing scent of excellently processed leather. We always follow the design principle 'form follows function'.

"Because nothing is more timeless than a meaningful design."

 

 We are open to special requests. After all, "Made to wishes" is our philosophy. For example, we have already produced travel luggage from the finest calf leather to match a vintage car, but would also do so to match a sailboat or bicycle.

Speaking of colors. We spend a lot of time finding the right shade and colors with real depth, because one should never tire of our colors. Our nuances allow our customers to combine all products with each other. Because our role model is none other than nature.

"Color that brings joy to the product." 

Production & Materials

 

"We guarantee: Only the best of everything."

All leather bags are handcrafted in Germany and exclusively from the finest calf leather from Germany and France. Our zippers still run like butter after years. This takes the stress out of many situations, quietly and unnoticed.

As high-quality inside as outside, that is our standard. Because we love satisfied customers who value haptics, quality, and functional design.

For smaller tech accessories, we rely on know-how from Asia, where they are best prepared for new high-tech formats, e.g., the next iPhones and AirPods. But here too, we value the finest materials and local craftsmanship, because our motto is "hightech meets slow craft".

Sustainability

We made a very conscious decision to use calf and cowhide leather in our collection. These leathers already exist, and by using them for our bags and accessories, we contribute to complete utilization. Of course, we are also happy to fulfill special customer requests in exotic leathers.

We also do not produce for large inventories, but specifically for our customers to avoid wasting resources. As our customer, you will certainly be happy to accept a slightly shorter waiting time for this.

We support local craftsmanship and work with the best German manufacturers. This also means that you can have your product purchased from us refurbished or repaired there. For the sake of the environment, we have our gift boxes and carrying bags produced in a stationery shop in Italy and avoid plastic. Sustainability and our environment are important to us. Not least because ROSENBERG was founded for future generations.
