As a traditional family business, we have stood for sustainable production and innovative finishing of lambskins and leathers since 1954. Our values are built on four pillars that we live by in every aspect of our work.
"What we make reflects what we stand for."
QUALITY
We manufacture high-quality jackets, coats and accessories from lambskin and leather - with a quality standard based on complete in-house production. From tanning to the last seam, every step is in our hands. This enables us to guarantee not only consistently excellent quality, but also absolute control over origin, processing and sustainability.
Craftmanship and Passion
Our products are genuinely handmade - based on traditional craftsmanship that has been practised for generations. At WERNER CHRIST, this precision meets modern expertise and technological sensitivity. The result is lambskin jackets and leather accessories with a perfect fit, durable workmanship and a love of detail that you can see and feel.
Heritage and Tradition
For over 70 years, our passion for the natural material lambskin has characterised our thoughts and actions. As a family business, we focus on continuity, responsibility and sustainable growth. We live these values every day - in the selection of our raw materials, in the training of our employees and in our consistently fair, environmentally friendly production. Our success is built on experience, trust and the pursuit of continuous improvement.
RESPONSIBILITY
Since its foundation in 1954, WERNER CHRIST has stood for the respectful use of natural resources and the responsible processing of the finest leather and lambskins. Sustainability is not a trend for us, but a cornerstone of our business activities - ecologically, socially and economically. Every decision, from the raw material to the last seam, is made with longevity, fairness and transparency in mind.
Environment
The entire manufacturing process takes place in our own production facilities - from tanning to manufacture. Our in-house wastewater treatment plant fulfils strict German environmental standards and stands for the responsible use of water resources. Thanks to our self-planted eucalyptus forest and a modern incineration plant, we are able to achieve CO₂-neutral tanning - a success that was certified with the ‘Corporate Carbon Footprint’ label in 2014. Conserving resources is not an add-on for us, but a matter of course.
Social Responsibility
Behind every WERNER CHRIST product are people - and their well-being is just as important to us as the quality of our materials. We create safe, fair and supportive workplaces at all our production sites. Our employees are not only paid fairly, but also enjoy social security, room for personal development and a working environment based on respect, trust and appreciation. Because real quality with heart is only created where people enjoy their work.
ZEITGEIST
Fashion is more than just clothing - it is an expression of attitude, aesthetics and personality. At WERNER CHRIST, the spirit of the times is reflected in every collection: timelessly conceived, but always with its finger on the pulse of the present. Our products are aimed at an open-minded, style-conscious and urban clientele who value quality, authenticity and responsible production. We combine fashion relevance with sustainable substance for a self-confident appearance that is never loud, but always present.
Innovation
In our in-house tannery and manufacturing workshop, we are constantly developing new processes to tailor the unique properties of lambskin and leather even more specifically to modern requirements. Our specialists refine the feel, look and functionality to create materials that are not only comfortable to wear, but also impress with their lightness and durability in everyday use.
Design
Our designs do not follow short-lived styles, but are orientated towards a modern attitude to life that endures regardless of age or season. Clear lines, well thought-out details and flexible silhouettes characterise our designs. The focus is on versatility and function - for garments that can be effortlessly integrated into everyday life while making a stylish statement.
CUSTOMER CENTRICITY
Customer satisfaction is more than just a goal for WERNER CHRIST - it is the benchmark for our daily actions. As a manufacturer with our own production facilities, we take responsibility at every stage - from the selection of raw materials to personalised advice. Our customers benefit not only from excellent product quality and many years of expertise, but also from open dialogue and transparent processes. We understand wishes, realise them with precise craftsmanship and create trust that lasts.
