Luxury Leather Legacy
The Winklmayr family has a rich history in the leathercraft industry, spanning several generations. Working with leather is a family tradition that has been traced back all the way to the Jakob Kammerer workshop in 1691. More recently, Hanspeter’s grandfather, Johann Winklmayr, started a small leather goods business in Austria in the early 1900s, which was passed down to Hanspeter’s father, Johann Georg Winklmayr.
