85 years, it is longer than a lifetime for many. It’s now been 85 years old since Yrjö Kero started our business. Decades after decades we’ve kept on track. We’ve sewn beak shoes that walked around the world. From high mountain peaks to downtown New York City, and even worn by the King of Tonga. By following the development without sacrificing our characteristic crafts, we have succeeded in creating a sustainable concept. From the beginning the beak shoe trudged in mire, now it’s wandering everywhere.
The longer we live the more opportunities we get to collect knowledge and experience. We have tanned leather and sewn and sold leather products in 85 years. We know our cause. By so well mistakes and progress over the years we have learned how we create quality. Sustainable quality for us are products that hold year in and year out. A couple beak shoes or a vintage bag is never considered to be the season's throwaway, it’s a friend for life. Natural since 1929 We tan our leather in a natural way, which means that the skin is handled with substances from the nature. It is the most environment-friendly tanning method. In addition to reduced environmental impact, it also gives a user-friendly leather that allows the skin to breathe.
