Leather workshop: Discover the path of leather - from raw material to handmade companion
Many of you have often asked us: Where does our leather actually come from? And how is it processed?
To answer these questions in depth, we’ve created a unique workshop series in collaboration with Regional Leather: "The Path of Leather".
With "The Path of Leather" we want to give you insights that usually stay hidden. Together, we'll discover how leather is created, from the pasture to the finished product. Transparency is really important to us – not just with prices, but especially when it comes to the origin and processing of our leather. This way, you can really connect with the creation process and understand it better.
After our little event in the showroom, we realized how much joy it brings us to meet you in person and share the stories behind leather crafting. With this workshop, we want to let you dive even deeper – perfect for anyone who wants to know where the things they use every day come from, and who enjoys creating something with their own hands.
Invitation to the MARAI Leather Workshop
“The Path of Leather – From Tanning to Craft”
in close collaboration with Regional Leather.
First Workshop: “From Tanning to Craft” on August 28, 2025
The start of our series is an invitation to immerse yourself in a world that usually remains hidden —transparent, artisanal, and honest. At the tannery in Tuttlingen, you’ll witness firsthand how raw animal hide is transformed into leather through a slow, traditional process, a craft that blends patience, respect, and expertise. Afterwards, you’ll get creative in the studio in Zurich: you’ll create your own small leather companion, a piece shaped by your hands and marked with your personal touch.All details can be found on our workshop page.
The number of participants is intentionally kept small to create space—for genuine experiences, personal guidance, and meaningful exchange. Reserve your spot and book your ticket here. The early bird price is available until August 1st.
The MARAI Leather Workshop offers insight into the creation of leather and opens doors that are usually closed.
