In recent months, we haven’t only been designing new products, but have also focused deeply on the unique materials that define them: our leather. The idea for MARAI was born after we learned that Switzerland burns tens of thousands of goat and sheepskins from the food industry every year. This has been taking place ever since the regional leather industry came to an end in the 1950s.

Blüemli Moccasins - for little alpine adventurers and dairymaids ♡

Summer has quietly said goodbye, the swimsuits and towels are put away and the cosy sheepskins have reclaimed their place on chairs, sofas and beds - at least in our house :). The days are getting shorter and cooler, and we're spending a lot more time indoors.

Summer bliss!

I just got back from England a few days ago and I'm already on my way again - to the mountains. I'm looking forward to two weeks off to spend some time with my family: just being, laughing and playing, walking, swimming and gazing at the sky.

Feeling a bit medusa sometimes?

For the 2024 women's strike, we have created something special together with designer and artist Simone Züger: the limited edition medusa. A large case and a small case, both embroidered with two snakes, drawn by Simone and outlining the female form, and filled with things to make your day. The limited edition medusa was created through the collaboration of an incredibly talented group of women. Together we want to make a bold and strong statement.

Perfectly Imperfect

Since the leather we use for our bags and accessories goes untreated, occasionally we find small imperfections in the leather. This is why for a limited time we are hosting one of our only sales featuring leather items with minor stains, scratches, small glue residuals or simply storing marks.
