The Analog Craftsmanship
It's the unique aesthetics. And even more so the beauty of the process, when you use analog and manual methods to achieve the greatest possible precision that defines our craftsmanship attitude.
In this picture, you can see one of the wooden forms used for shaping the outer shell of our Travel Humidors for cigars. These forms, handmade by a carpenter, serve as guides for the three layers that make up the shell.

Hand stitching not only guarantees durability, but it also enables us to create shapes and details without restrictions that come with the use of a sewing machine
This part of our Glasses Case is a great example, demonstrating the control you achieve by placing every stitch exactly where it belongs, which is especially important when using a contrasting thread.
It's a thin line between finished and incomplete. The crease line enhances and defines the contours of every product made in our atelier.
A heated iron, shaped to glide along the edge of the leather, compress the fibers while the high temperature causes the much-wanted darkening of the surface.
It's details like the perfectly finished edges on our products that set Atelier Halbwachs apart and showcase our focus on precision.
Depending on the width of the edge, it takes three to five layers of water-based edge paint to create an even surface. Between each layer, the paint has to be sanded. For some products, the edge finishing requires even more labor than the hand sewing. It's one of, if not the most telling detail regarding quality in leather goods.
