Everything started more than ten years ago with Marion’s idea of a cool bag – one different to what was out there. So she created one herself and suddenly also others wanted to have it…the beginning of an unintended success story.
A bag that is simple but high in quality. And at the same time sophisticated and fun…that’s what Marion probably thought when she designed her first Tornister bag in 2004. After all she studied everything needed for leather craft of a shoemaker. She was inspired by the simplicity of the satchel and as it turned out, she was not the only one.
Her white leather bag with the eye-catching blue stripe and the red reflectors arouse more and more interest on the street, followed by first commissions here and there. A number of successful art and craft markets later, she finally started to sell her bags in a small shop in Stuttgart.
For years Marion completed individual requests in a small backyard garage in Stuttgart. Then she met Claus and impressed him with her idea. Together they founded a GbR (partnership organized under the civil code) and since then Claus takes care of the business side.
More staff, new shops and a new location for the workshop. A lot has happened since Marion put the first reflector on her satchel. But one thing is still the same: Advertising still works best on the street. Loners should better not wear a HAEUTE bag, because – as costumers confirm again and again- you will be constantly asked about it...
