About Wittchen
Wittchen is a brand that has established itself as a market leader in the luxury leather goods sector. The company's inception dates back to 1990 when it was founded by Jędrzej Rafał Wittchen, who continues to run the business alongside his wife Monika. Over the years, Wittchen has grown into a family-run enterprise, gaining recognition as one of the most distinguished brands within the European market.
The brand's journey began with a young Jędrzej Wittchen, whose appreciation for the beauty and enduring quality of leather goods was sparked by a gift from his grandfather a beautiful, old leather wallet. This early encounter with leather craftsmanship influenced his decision to create his own line of leather goods. Despite lacking experience, he trusted his business intuition and invested all his savings into the venture, focusing on superior quality materials such as the finest leathers, threads, and fabrics. Initially, the production was limited, with only one craftsman sewing all the products, and Jędrzej personally checking the quality of each wallet to ensure that items bearing his family name were synonymous with luxury and the highest quality.
The brand's growth led to the opening of its first retail store, responding to the increasing demand for its products. As the company expanded, production was moved to Italy, a country renowned for its high-quality leathers and traditional specialist workshops. This strategic move combined Italian fashion traditions with German meticulousness, resulting in a perfect blend of style and craftsmanship that has been appreciated by thousands of Europeans.
Wittchen's product range initially focused solely on leather goods, with core collections such as the Italy collection, launched in 1991, featuring leather embossed with the Wittchen logo and made from soft calf leather, and the Arizona collection, distinguished by a small metal plate with the Wittchen emblem. These collections emphasize practicality and durability, offering a wide range of leather goods that can be coordinated to create sophisticated sets of leather accessories.
Over time, Wittchen has expanded its offerings to include a variety of products that blend color, materials, and character, resulting in collections that are both fashionable and classic in quality and finish. The brand caters to stylish individuals who seek elegance in every aspect of their lives. Built on the premise of using the finest Italian leathers, Wittchen products are not only beautiful but also extremely durable.
Today, Wittchen boasts a network of over 100 sales showrooms across Europe and an innovative online store, making its products accessible to a wider audience. The brand's commitment to quality and style has earned it numerous awards over the years, solidifying its position as a purveyor of luxury leather goods and accessories.
