OUR FAMILY WORKSHOP
Every Nordweg product is handcrafted in our family workshop in Picada Café, a mountain town in Southern Brazil where our German ancestors established their leatherworking tradition over two centuries ago. We've stewarded that craft for 35 years.
If it carries our name, we stand behind it.
