• Procurement of all necessary materials through to packaging
• Advice across the entire supply chain
• Project management
• Quality assurance

On request, my company will support you as an innovative partner in the development of your brand design and will work with you to develop an independent collection for your brand based on initial ideas/drafts and designs;

We support you in the development of your company logo and personalized metal fittings, and are happy to work with our contacts in the creative world to develop ideas for your planned brand identity.

Our industry-specific consulting offers the advantage over our often non-industry competitors that we have been cooperating with companies in the leather goods industry worldwide for decades and are exceptionally well networked. Our experience as a full-service supplier for international brands in the luxury goods segment and the automotive industry for the production of small leather goods, handbags and luggage therefore predestines us as a competent partner for your projects.

Consulting in the modern everyday life of the leather goods industry

Over the past twenty years, expert advice has developed into an important segment of the leather goods industry. Experienced specialists with excellent expertise are hard to find in all areas of the labor market. Due to the relocation of large production capacities to China, India and Vietnam in recent decades, as well as the closure of all large production facilities in German-speaking countries, the profession and qualification as a master craftsman or leather goods technician no longer had a future. It is therefore almost impossible to find master craftsmen with many years of experience. Today, however, especially in a time of many global uncertainties and unstable supply chains, many productions are being shifted back to Europe. Competent minds are therefore increasingly being sought for the sector.

Consulting & Solutions from Sokrates Design GmbH starts here and closes this gap.
