truegrain / about
a father,
a son,
and leather.
truegrain began in a small workshop in Vienna, between two people who wanted to make things properly.
My father has been working with leather for years — not as a profession, but as a practise. The kind of quiet, patient work that produces objects that outlast the people who own them. He cuts by hand. He stitches by hand. He finishes by hand.
I handle the business, the brand, the logistics. Together we built truegrain as a way to bring his craft to people who appreciate things made with real intention.
We make wallets. Three models, five leathers. Nothing more. We believe that constraints produce better objects.

what guides us
no shortcuts
Every piece is cut from a paper template, stitched with a needle and thread, and finished by hand. There are no machines in our process.
honest materials
We use only full-grain leather — the highest quality layer of the hide. It's tougher, more beautiful, and ages in a way that corrected leathers never can.
small by design
We will never mass-produce. The collection is intentionally small. Three wallets. That's it. We'd rather make fewer things well.
made to be kept
We believe the best objects are the ones that become part of your life. A truegrain wallet should last a decade, minimum — and look better for it.
