In handbags, there are several features that are considered 'must-have' for absolute luxury. Thus, these are of course also relevant for luxury traditional handbags. Many major luxury handbag brands today produce their handbags abroad. Often in Asia in high editions. Strictly speaking, you thus no longer meet the luxury claim. The awareness of the brand weighs the most here.


Our luxury traditional bags follow the relevant characteristics for luxury handbags. A high standard that makes each ©Dirndlblüte so unique and very special. Simply check the following points to see if the last luxury handbag you bought is really a luxury handbag. And maybe you will feel like buying one of our luxury traditional handbags right here.

  • Craftsmanship: Handbags that are handmade by skilled craftsmen or in small manufactories are considered very high quality and luxurious. These bags can have elaborate details and decorations, are always very expensive and are available only in small numbers. Often, these luxury handbags are made only at the request of the customer. This approach is considered the highest standard of luxury handbag making in the world.

  • Material: Handbags made of exotic, rare and thus already in the purchase very expensive materials such as crocodile leather, ostrich leather or python leather are considered particularly luxurious and have a very high price. And: regionally based tanneries, which have been producing first-class leather for generations, succeed in producing luxury leather through innovation and in compliance with high environmental protection and animal welfare rules, which is available in limited editions and stands out for its very special quality.



  • Brand: Handbags from well-known luxury brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Gucci are often expensive and are considered a sign of status and luxury worldwide. But especially niche brands that meet the relevant characteristics of luxury handbags are considered extremely desirable. Even in the luxury brand market, if you don't know your stuff, you buy expensive. Those who know their way around treat themselves to luxury that is not available everywhere: regional niche brands with high standards.

  • Limited editions: handbags produced in limited editions are considered particularly rare and exclusive and, if other luxury features are added, are very expensive. Especially luxury Trachtentaschen, which are made exclusively on customer request by master craftsmen where they originate, are coveted. Only in this way is a traditional bag authentic and radiates the dignity and perfection it needs to be a true luxury object. Luxury is also a feeling of unattainability.

  • Personalization: handbags that can be personalized to order, for example with individual monograms or special colors, are considered particularly luxurious and exclusive. Even Chanel 100 years ago gave its most loyal customers the opportunity to choose the color of the handbag before it was made. This copy was marked with a code under which the name of the handbag owner was registered at Chanel.

Ultimately, luxury in handbags is often a combination of craftsmanship, material, brand and exclusivity. The price of these bags is always very high and they are sometimes a status symbol for their owners.

Very special luxury items are often created through a combination of high-quality materials, exclusive design and high craftsmanship. Here are some steps that can be followed in the manufacture of such items:



  • Material selection: The choice of high quality materials is crucial for the production of luxury items. These can be rare and exotic materials such as gemstones, fine leather, exotic woods or rare metals.

  • Design: luxury items are often created by talented designers who have a unique vision for the item. Design can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as trends, traditions, or personal preferences.

  • Craftsmanship: luxury items often require a high level of craftsmanship performed by skilled artisans. These craftsmen may have years of experience working with high-quality materials and have perfected their skills and techniques.

  • Custom-made: Some luxury items are custom made to order and to the customer's specifications. This means that the customer can set unique specifications and requirements for the item to ensure that it is perfect for their needs and preferences.

  • Exclusivity: luxury items are often exclusive and can be produced in limited quantities to maintain their uniqueness and exclusivity.

In summary, special luxury items are created through a combination of high-quality materials, exclusive design, high craftsmanship, customization and exclusivity. These elements contribute to their status as unique and sought-after objects.

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.
