OUR STORY
Since 1887, Braun Büffel has carried forward a legacy of heritage, artistry, and timeless design; building a name synonymous with leather craft that endures across generations. It all began in Kirn, Germany, where our tradition and craftsmanship first took root. Since then our identity has evolved, yet our ethos remains unchanged: to craft products that not only endure, but speak volumes.
Every piece is shaped with care and precision, with every stitch and piece of hardware reflecting a legacy of tradition and progressive craftsmanship guided by our choice of leather and the time-honoured tools that still guide our hands today. Inspired by our iconic symbol, we continue to reimagine it through new ideas and materials. Our legacy isn’t kept in museums. It lives on, carried by those who wear what we’ve made, every day.
The BÜFFEL
Founded by Johann Braun in 1887, our name comes from a combination of BRAUN and BÜFFEL, a combination of the family name and the inspiration of our icon. Our brand stands proud with our iconic trademark signet, the BÜFFEL or buffalo in German. A symbol of Braun Büffel’s deep-rooted heritage in leather craftsmanship, it embodies power and strength much like its inspiration.
A Journey of Heritage
For 138 years our pieces have been trusted companions for those who move with intention and poise, who lead with quiet confidence. Built on thoughtful design and elevated detail, each piece is a creation born from skilled hands and uncompromising detail, with grace that only deepens with time. In this quiet harmony, we craft beauty that does not shout, but endures.
