Die Prägung besticht durch ihre Langlebigkeit und Pflegeleichtigkeit, ist jedoch teurer und weniger flexibel, da sie spezielle Werkzeuge erfordert. Die Lasergravur hingegen bietet Designflexibilität und niedrigere Kosten, beschädigt aber die Lederoberfläche durch Verbrennung und neigt dazu, nach kurzer Zeit weniger attraktiv zu wirken. Beide Methoden haben ihren eigenen Wert und Nutzen.
Die Prägung ist eine altbewährte Methode, bei der ein Design mittels Hitze in das Leder gedrückt wird, um ein tiefes Muster zu erzeugen. Diese Methode behält ihr markantes Aussehen über Jahre hinweg und sorgt für ein edles Erscheinungsbild des Leders. Der Prozess erzeugt weiche, definierte Kanten und einen dezenten Farbunterschied auf dem Material. Zudem bleibt das Leder leicht zu reinigen und neigt weniger dazu, Schmutz oder Staub anzusammeln. Der Bedarf an speziellen Prägewerkzeugen für jedes Design erhöht jedoch die Kosten maßgeblich. Verwendet man vorgefertigte Werkzeuge oder Buchstabensätze gleichen sich die Aufwände denen der Lasergravur an, wobei allerdings die individuelle Designwahl durch die vorhandenen Werkzeuge eingeschränkt ist.
Die Lasergravur, eine neuere Technik, ermöglicht das Brennen jedes beliebigen Bildes oder Textes auf das Leder, ohne dass spezielle Werkzeuge erforderlich sind. Dies gewährt erhebliche Flexibilität bei der Gestaltung, da jedes beliebige Bild möglich ist, und ist oftmals günstiger. Allerdings wird bei der Lasergravur das Design wie beschrieben ins Leder gebrannt, was zur Entfernung der obersten Lederschicht und zu dauerhaften Schäden führt. Lasergravierte Personalisierungen haben ein präzises Aussehen, extrem scharfe Kanten und fühlen sich rau an. Verbrennungsrückstände, die durch das Gravieren entstehen, verleihen dem Design eine dunkle Färbung, die mit der Zeit verblassen und abfärben kann. Zudem ist es schwieriger zu reinigen, da die schützende obere Lederschicht entfernt wurde, und häufige Bewegung kann zur Ablösung des Leders an den Kanten führen.
Abschließend lässt sich festhalten: Wenn Sie eine langlebige, pflegeleichte Personalisierungsmethode suchen und bereit sind, etwas höhere Kosten zu akzeptieren, könnte die Prägung für Sie ideal sein. Legen Sie jedoch Wert auf Designflexibilität und niedrigere Anschaffungskosten und sind bereit, frühzeitige Abnutzungserscheinungen in Kauf zu nehmen, könnte die Lasergravur die passende Wahl sein.
Beide Methoden verleihen Ihren Lederwaren eine individuelle Note.
]]>The ROHLEDER team had the leather table set in continuous use for over six months in order to be able to fully convince themselves of the quality and functionality. We were surprised ourselves at how outstandingly good the leather glass coasters still looked after intensive use. Thanks to the waxed surface, dirt can be wiped off quickly and easily with a wet cloth. Therefore, no special cleaning products are required to enjoy a durable aesthetic. In addition, as with leather aprons, fats are absorbed without leaving a trace and therefore without leaving any residue. From time to time, however, the leather can still be treated with suitable leather care products to emphasize the beauty of the placemat more intensively.
Since the leather surface is not coated, all natural features are preserved. Slight color gradients caress the eyes of the beholder. However, it is precisely these individual nuances that characterize high-quality genuine leather. If you expect a perfectly even surface, you should use plastic coasters with a leather look, but they don't even remotely come close to the quality of the ROHLEDER leather glass coasters.
When developing the new product, we not only placed great value on high-quality material, but also on an attractive selection of different colours. A suitable and attractive color is offered for every taste and the most diverse room and table designs. The leather placemat is ideal for a special evening with guests who you want to surprise with a unique table decoration.
The leather table set combines the rustic charm of leather with a timeless elegance to create a special composition.
Every pleasant touch of the soft leather reveals that this is a high-quality product with great attention to detail. The coasters are lined with split leather to give them more substance and a better grip on the table. In contrast, glass coasters made of plastic in particular tend to slip more quickly.
The leather table set is handmade in Austria and convinces with its outstanding robustness and durability. As is usual for natural leather, the leather glass coasters age over time and develop a classic, unique leather character that underlines the individuality of each coaster in a special way.
]]>The development of our colorless leather grease was preceded by extensive testing of various cleaning products. We had to find out that many manufacturers rely on cheap lanolin for their leather grease. However, this natural product, which is obtained by washing sheep's wool, does not penetrate the leather very well and gives the material a sticky feel. We wanted to develop a high-quality product that does not have these disadvantages, consists only of natural ingredients and gives the leather intensive care. To achieve this goal, we combined a wide variety of oils and waxes. In view of the high quality requirements, it took time, but finally Wagner's original saw the light of day. Our leather care is easy to apply, absorbs quickly, impregnates and preserves the natural beauty of the leather.
The central components of Wagner's Original are jojoba oil, beeswax and castor oil. Beeswax consists mainly of hydrocarbons, fatty acids and alcohol. Due to the fatty acids it contains, the wax is not water-soluble and can only be dissolved in alcohol or oils. Because of this property, beeswax is ideal as a water- and dirt-repellent coating in leather care. Even the Romans and Egyptians used the wax to seal jugs, wooden figures and wooden ships. In leather care, the natural product not only causes impregnation, but also slightly darkens individual areas, which means that small scratches are simply no longer visible. In conjunction with jojoba oil and castor oil, the natural substance develops an above-average care effect, which ensures long-lasting suppleness and the longest possible lifespan for high-quality ROHLEDER products.
Leather care is extremely uncomplicated with Wagner's Original. The leather should first be cleaned of any dirt residue with a damp cloth. The grease can then be applied to the surface with a cotton cloth, a horsehair brush or simply with your fingers. Under no circumstances should synthetic brushes be used, as these are too hard and can cause scratches. You only need a little of Wagner's Original to get an outstanding care effect and to remove light scratches. Therefore, our product also convinces with an amazing yield. The relatively odorless leather care product specially developed for ROHLEDER products can of course also be used to care for shoes, belts and similar leather products. However, it should be noted that the care product is not suitable for coated leather, which is often found in vehicle interiors. If in doubt, you can test in a few steps whether the surface is coated. Apply some leather conditioner to one area and if it still hasn't absorbed after about 5 minutes, it's probably coated leather. In such a case, the surface should be wiped with water and a little washing-up liquid and cleaned with it. With the high-quality ROHLEDER products, Wagner's Original represents the ultimate in a well-groomed surface.
]]>Over the years we have had some experience with commercially available knife bags collect. We noticed that the handling is not exactly optimal and that the given pocket sizes limit the choice of knives considerably. Favorite cutting tools often could not be accommodated because there was simply no corresponding compartment or a few millimeters were missing. In addition, we had to realize that some products became unusable after a short time due to their processing, as the quivers were damaged by the knives stored. While in the first few days of use a considerable amount of force had to be used to remove the cutting tool, after a few weeks there was no longer sufficient support. In both cases, painful cuts can result. The findings and observations gave us the idea of creating a new, unique product that has none of the shortcomings and is accompanied by a significant gain in comfort.
In the development of ROHLEDER knife bag The first question for us was what size the pockets for the knives should ideally be. The width of the knife should not play a role if possible. In order to be able to remove the cutting tools more easily, the handles should not have to be inserted, but should be directly accessible. Eventually the idea of using magnets came up. We made a number of experiments with different magnet strengths and also experimented extensively with the number of magnets. On the one hand, the knives should not be able to slip, on the other hand, the cutting tools should be able to be arranged as desired. We were able to implement both aspects and the knife width also plays a role with the ROHLEDER knife bags not matter. Knives up to 42 cm in length can be easily accommodated. The magnets are completely safe for mobile phones and do not cause any damage. Credit cards in a wallet are also completely safe. However, for security reasons, a credit card or other card with stored information should not be placed directly on the magnets. To prevent the magnets from slipping, we decided to sew them in securely. This is quite complex, but perfection and attention to detail characterize our way of working and thus our products.
The issue of transport safety was also important to us. Our extensive impact and jerking tests, which at times may have seemed like a new kind of expressive dance to outsiders, served to ensure unconditional product safety. With the end product, the knives always remain in place, regardless of the transport conditions. Of course, specially tanned, natural and untreated cowhide is used as the material. The leather used on the outside impresses with visible, unique natural features and acquires the typical used look over time. On the inside, high-quality suede leather ensures that the knives are elegantly bedded. In order to offer maximum storage options, we have incorporated three compartments for non-magnetic tools and tweezers. In addition, the ROHLEDER knife bags Features a convenient zip pocket that covers both the inside and the outside when the knife bag rolled up is freely accessible. Two zippers to one compartment make this flexibility possible. The zip pocket is particularly suitable for keys, but also for other valuables.
THE RAWHIDE knife bags characterizes maximum comfort in every respect. We have also paid great attention to the carrying handle and the carrying strap so that they are pleasant to the touch and simply feel good. While the core of the carrying handle consists of hard, stable leather, the pleasantly soft coating ensures a high level of carrying comfort without cutting into it. The padded shoulder strap allows you to transport even a heavy weight with ease. Whether your logo or a special text, ROHLEDER knife bags individually stamped and thus personalised. The bags are a European product, handcrafted with the utmost precision based on an Austrian design with leather from Italy in Portugal. Heavily stressed seams are double reinforced and the magnets are sewn firmly and precisely. THE RAWHIDE knife bags stand for the highest quality down to the smallest detail.
]]>One of the special properties of leather is breathability, i.e. the ability to absorb water and water vapor and transport it to the surface. The leather develops the function of a second skin. Especially with ours leather aprons and grill gloves this ability proves to be a blessing. As soon as it is warm in summer or a heat source radiates considerable heat, as can be the case with an open grill, the leather ensures that perspiration is reduced. Breathability varies depending on the type of leather. Basically, a softer leather speaks for a better loosening of the fiber structure. This is particularly important for the permeability of leather. It should be noted that only genuine leather offers these positive properties with this intensity. Sometimes the comparison of a good leather jacket with an imitation leather jacket makes it clear that the artificial variant cannot come close to the breathability of a genuine leather jacket.
Genuine leather definitely speaks for good breathability, but other factors are also worth noting. Some leathers are coated and therefore have a very limited water vapor permeability. The background is the closing of the pores and fibers of the leather, which are essential for the removal of water and water vapor. Coated leathers are primarily found in the automotive and furniture industries. Although coated leather is still significantly more breathable than synthetic leather, the highest level of water vapor permeability is only achieved with an uncoated surface. The sustainable and durable ROHLEDER leather aprons are only oiled and therefore offer not only an individual surface but also maximum breathability. Equally convincing are the ROHLEDER Grilling gloves that are extremely breathable thanks to the natural cowhide leather. The soft goatskin on the fingers completes the effectiveness without impairing the high heat and fire resistance of the unique product.
In view of these great advantages of an uncoated surface, the question arises as to why some leather manufacturers still opt for a coating. Coated leather regularly has a more even color and surface as the natural leather features are covered. Even after a longer period of time, hardly any changes can be detected on coated surfaces. These properties definitely correspond to the usual customer requirements in the furniture and automotive industries. We deliberately chose a natural surface for our products. On the one hand in terms of outstanding breathability, on the other hand, every leather apron and everybody BBQ glove to a truly unique item. The natural surface is extremely easy to care for and brings out the unique characteristics of the leather skin to the full. With our products, a simple wipe is enough to remove food residue or the like. Oil and fat splashes are at the ROHLEDER leather aprons even a caring elixir that is simply absorbed, leaves no annoying stains and makes the leather softer. Dry patches of leather apron can even be rubbed with a little sunflower oil to keep them supple. Coated leather does not have such care options. ROHLEDER stands for the preservation of the unique leather properties and an individual look that is second to none.
]]>To match our leather aprons, we wanted to develop the best possible grilling gloves. We asked true grilling experts about the characteristics of the perfect grilling glove. We fully incorporated the feedback into our development in Austria and combined it with our leather expert knowledge. The result is high-quality grilling gloves that impress with mobility, comfort and tactility and at the same time offer optimal heat protection. The end on the forearm effectively protects against embers and flying sparks, but also when handling fire plates. Our high-quality ROHLEDER grilling gloves are handmade in Hungary according to our design. Each grill glove is truly unique.
We only use the best materials to bring you the truly best grilling glove. Soft goatskin is used for the fingers, which ensures maximum mobility. The robust goatskin is particularly light and supple. Heat-resistant Fireblock leather is combined with a Kevlar lining on the forearm. As a result, the ROHLEDER barbecue gloves offer effective protection against radiant heat. In addition, the durable Fireblock leather impresses with its exceptional tear resistance. The Kevlar felt used on the inside also contributes to the remarkable heat resistance of the grill gloves. Even the threads used are made of flame-retardant aramid. The digital leather applied to the palm of the hand protects against contact heat and at the same time ensures excellent grip. This means that the grilling tools always lie securely in your hand and every work step can be carried out with pinpoint accuracy. The leather on the back of the hand is particularly permeable to sweat and increases wearing comfort. The Kevlar cuff at the end of the forearm protection not only ensures a good finish, but also makes it easy to put on and take off. With ROHLEDER grilling gloves, there is no compromise on quality.
The ROHLEDER grill gloves not only offer optimal protection when grilling, but also know how to convince when deep-frying or in a hot oven. We offer you our latest development in different sizes (S/M/L) for an optimal fit. The packaging, designed with attention to detail, rounds off the overall effect of our high-quality grilling gloves. In connection with a ROHLEDER leather apron, every grilling, cooking and frying becomes a special experience with the highest possible protection and outstanding comfort. On request, each leather apron can be further individualized according to your ideas via personalization.
]]>With countless products, a look at the materials used leads to the realization that artificial leather is a material that is often encountered. Imitation leather consists either of various fibers or mixed fabrics and is often coated with PVC. In particular, the cheap plastic leather leads to a strong environmental impact and, in the worst case, ends up in our seas after disposal. Although imitation leather comes relatively close to real leather in terms of appearance, it cannot even come close to matching the technical properties. Real leather is water-repellent, breathable, oil-absorbent and extremely durable. The natural product is the result of environmentally friendly production and is based on a renewable raw material. It should be noted that leather is a by-product of the meat industry and therefore no animals are slaughtered for leather production. The pleasant feel and extreme longevity also make real leather the clear winner. For this reason, the leather aprons from ROHLEDER are made exclusively from 100% cowhide.
The material properties sometimes reveal their strengths when cooking and grilling. It is well known that splashes of oil and fat cannot be avoided when preparing food. Unwanted dirt can be the result and is difficult to remove from most aprons. With a leather apron without a plastic surface, as is always the case with the high-quality products from ROHLEDER, the oil simply absorbs and leaves no unsightly stains. The oil even cares for the leather and makes it pleasantly supple. The water-repellent property ensures a constant weight even when cooking with a lot of liquid. The handmade aprons from ROHLEDER are also non-flammable. This means that flying sparks do not pose a threat and safety is increased many times over. Even if the leather apron is held up to an open fire for several seconds, it will not catch fire. The positive material properties are also appreciated by butchers and contribute to a growing interest in natural leather aprons.
While a layer of lacquer is applied to most leather aprons in order to obtain a surface that is as even as possible, ROHLEDER aprons are only oiled. As a result, all natural features such as individual scars, folds in the cowhide and insect bites are preserved. This makes every leather apron a unique piece that preserves the history of the leather and underlines the individuality of the wearer. Each surface is structured differently. ROHLEDER's expert knowledge in terms of leather tanning and finishing contributes to perfecting the unique effect. The naturalness of the leather convinces all professional groups from the chef to the butcher. With personalization, such as text or logo embossing, the unique character can be emphasized even more intensively.
]]>It is not mandatory to speak of an innovation only when a completely new product is created. In the case of our ROHLEDER leather belts, it is the combination of high-quality materials, special details and the highest level of craftsmanship that makes our latest creation something unique. The length of the belt is individually adjusted and thus ensures a special wearing comfort. If desired, initials can be embossed into the tip of the leather belt, which can, for example, take up the personal name or the name of a company. Our high-quality leather belts, which are manufactured in Wels, Austria, are characterized by several features. In today's story we summarize the most important information.
The most important feature that sets our belts apart is the stainless steel buckle. In addition to being elegant and fashionable at the same time, stainless steel buckles offer a multitude of advantages. On the one hand they are nickel-free and therefore cannot lead to allergic reactions, on the other hand buckles made of solid stainless steel are very scratch-resistant. While the top layer of nickel-plated buckles detaches over time and the underlying surface becomes visible, stainless steel buckles present themselves with a constant and robust aesthetic. The numerous advantages are offset by a somewhat more expensive production, but the highest possible quality and impressive longevity come at a certain price.
Of course, not only the belt buckle, but also the leather used meets the highest quality standards. That's why our ROHLEDER leather belts don't just fall apart, as is often the case with belts made of bonded leather. There are two different versions to choose from, each in three colors, all of which impress with their outstanding durability.
In the lined version, vegetable-tanned cowhide is used as the lining leather. A fine, uncoated cow nappa with unique natural features is used as upper leather. This makes each belt unique, revealing part of its history. Due to its natural state, the noble upper leather reacts a little more sensitively to environmental influences, but an occasional treatment with a little leather care is enough to preserve the natural beauty.
In addition to the lined variant, there is a solid, simple leather belt to choose from, which consists of a thicker layer of grain leather. The description "simple" primarily expresses the fact that no specific combination of materials is used. Rather, this version convinces with a simple elegance that goes hand in hand with a high scratch resistance. Compared to the lined belt, the solid, simple variant is easier to care for. Whichever version you choose, you can rely on the usual ROHLEDER quality and receive a product that knows how to impress in every conceivable respect.
]]>In addition to fabric aprons, leather aprons are very popular, which ultimately emerge as the clear winner when the material properties are compared. Especially when grilling, flying sparks can occur, which can lead to a dangerous situation with a fabric apron and, in the worst case, to burns. In addition, hot splashes of fat from a permeable fabric can not only result in contamination of clothing, but even cause an extremely uncomfortable feeling of heat. In contrast, leather aprons are heat-resistant, water-repellent and extremely durable. Grease and oil also penetrate the leather without leaving unwanted stains. Among other things, these impressive material properties are partly responsible for ROHLEDER's firm belief that leather is the ideal material for cooking aprons and that its durability guarantees countless hours of cooking. For example, if you buy our leather apron in a natural brown color, you are purchasing a high-quality leather product that has all the advantages of the material used and also represents a result of our passion.
The leather apron as a cooking apron is extremely easy to care for and does not require time-consuming washing machine cycles. The various stains that usually appear when cooking can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth. In view of the good cleaning properties, hands can be wiped on the apron without hesitation. For the intensity of the advantages of a leather apron, the quality is primarily decisive. While most manufacturers offer aprons made from synthetic leather or Chinese split leather, our leather is made from exquisite grain leather from cattle in Italy. The handmade and natural aprons from ROHLEDER have particularly good cleaning properties due to the high quality of workmanship. The surface is only waxed and without a plastic coating, so that the folds of the cowhide, individual scars and insect bites can be seen and give the leather apron a unique character.
In addition to outstanding material properties and easy cleaning, ROHLEDER aprons are particularly comfortable to wear. In particular, the low weight of 700 g stands out and allows you to wear it for hours without any negative side effects. The ultimate freedom of movement is a significant advantage, especially in the kitchen, and allows dishes to be prepared with particular ease. Our leather is velvety soft, is extremely pleasant to the touch and naturally adapts to the shape of the body. In addition, it is extremely breathable, comparable to a leather shoe, which significantly reduces the risk of sweating. With their pockets, our leather aprons offer sufficient storage space for cooking utensils and thus a further plus in comfort. At ROHLEDER you can personalize your leather product and give it an individual touch. We not only offer you the embossing of a text or logo, but also the embroidery with a colored logo. If you want to buy leather cooking aprons, you should choose a high-quality ROHLEDER product to take full advantage of the full range of benefits.
]]>I have always admired the special properties of leather. Even at a young age, I appreciated the resilience and ease of care of the environmentally friendly natural product during cozy barbecue evenings. After all, I built up expert knowledge over the years and the passion became a personal vocation. One day I was in a Swiss department store and discovered leather aprons that, upon closer inspection, were of disappointing quality. I asked myself whether this could have been an exception and subsequently paid more attention to the leather aprons available in stores. To my surprise, I found that most leather aprons were cardboard-like, hard, and heavy. Still, the prices were surprisingly high. The idea of developing leather specifically for leather aprons and having it manufactured in Europe increasingly manifested itself.
The idea should become reality and so I joined forces with two friends in 2019. One of them created the unique design that is still a special feature of the high-quality ROHLEDER leather aprons today. We went to Italy to develop leather according to our ideas with a tannery. The result was a light and soft leather that simply looks good and meets the highest quality standards. In Portugal we finally found a small family business that manufactures our leather aprons by hand in the desired quality. From an initial inspiration in Switzerland to a design created in Austria to leather production in Italy and further processing in Portugal - every leather apron from ROHLEDER is a unique, European product. Since our 100% cowhide leather is not coated with unnecessary paint, all individual natural features are preserved. When you buy a ROHLEDER leather apron, you always get a truly unique item with its own history.
Finally, we designed a high-quality and attractive packaging. Our leather aprons are therefore also very suitable as gifts. However, we strived for further improvement and expansion of our offer. That's why we've recently started offering personalization of our leather aprons. On the one hand, texts and logos can be embossed, which can be freely placed according to the ideas of our customers. On the other hand, the high-quality leather products can be embroidered with a colored logo. With its unique quality, the personalized leather apron underlines the high quality of the brand or company, which becomes an integral part of the unique item through embossing or embroidery. Since the personalized leather apron certainly does not represent the last further development of our quality products, our story has only reached an intermediate station.
