Nina Conrad in an interview with Appenzeller Gurt

For several years, Appenzeller Gurt has been using local leather for a large portion of its products. This spring, I spoke with Caspar, the founder of Appenzeller Gurt, about topics such as on-farm slaughter, ecological tanning, and patina. During our conversation, I provided many insights into our sustainable production methods and the importance of traditional craftsmanship. Our discussion about the connection between regional identity and artisanal quality was particularly interesting. The full interview can be read on appenzeller-gurt.com. Enjoy!
