Dietmar has been a Portefeuiller since the 1970s, with a still growing love for this profession. His whole passion is the noble, beautiful, very special traditional bags. He creates his handmade works of art from the finest leather. Each of his Dirndl bags is a unique masterpiece and has a unique charisma.


Vanessa learned the craft from him, as well as his penchant for perfection. Every cut, every stitch, every fitting seam, every intermediate state is meticulously checked by her. No deviation from a masterful pattern escapes her eye. She is only happy when everything is just right. Her bags shine like little queens. This is the only way to create a real Dirndlblüte©.


The profession of portefeuiller has become very rare in the German-speaking world. The production of leather goods has increasingly shifted abroad. Cheaper and faster is the production here. But also uniform and therefore interchangeable. Until the 1960s, the center of leather production in Germany was the region around Offenbach am Main. First-class master craftsmanship with a great understanding of German processing techniques and a demand for manufacturing quality that has grown over decades can hardly be found any more. The Dirndlblüte© Feintäschner Master Team is unique. And rare.


From the inspection of the leather, to the millimeter-precise cutting of sometimes over 100 individual parts for a traditional bag by hand, the skillful sharpening of the edges on almost historic-looking machines, the meticulous fine-tuning of the thread colors to the final assembly and sewing on specially equipped leather sewing machines, with this team every move is perfect. Unwavering, the two experienced stitchers Ute and Camella let their sewing machines put every single stitch into the leather. Inspired, concentrated and at the same time with the deep relaxation of the true experts, Dirndl bags of the master class are created here.

Dirndlblüte© is the only luxury label for handmade Dirndl bags from Germany. Each unique piece is made by master craftsmen in the former leather stronghold of Germany. The bags bear names of famous women of the Bavarian monarchy and are just as special. www.dirndlbluete.de
