Everything began in 1951, when Titus Karlen founded his boot making saddlery in the earthy mountain village of Törbel in the canton Valais and laid the foundation to this successful family-owned company. He knew how to handle a clobber’s hammer and made himself a name beyond the reaches of his village for quality products such as hand-made shoes, bags, cow bells, horse’s harnesses, belts, accessories as well as Swiss military articles.

As a responsible enterprise Karlen Swiss employs around 10 local workers in the atelier. A truly great team of women, who carry-on and live the company philosophy. Here the word “TEAM” has a unique meaning, then as soon as one enters the “holy” manufacturing halls, one can literally sense the harmony. Each production step really happens hand-in-hand. Be that thru family-relationship or friendship between employees, everything happens together, the smiling, the crafting, and the creating.

The KarlenSwiss Recycling Line

What if you combine typical Swiss recycling materials with modern and environmentally friendly design inspiration? Inspired by the rough and originally beautiful mountains of the Swiss Alps, the Karlen Swiss team knows how to breathe life into these materials such as Swiss Army blankets, covers of the Swiss Railway system, and Swiss Postal bags, to send them on a new journey. Truly unique and stylish designs.
