Leder: Die Seele des Schuhs

Leather: The soul of the shoe and the art of tanning

The quality of a shoe begins with its most important material: leather.

At RŌSHI, we only use leather from the finest tanneries in Europe, including Conceria Tolio, Conceria Nuova Antilope, Conceria Maryam, Conceria Opera, Tanneries Haas, David Oehler, and Richard Hoffmans. Why? Because every piece of leather we process must meet the highest standards.

Tanning, the process that transforms animal hides into durable leather, is a centuries-old art. While there are various methods, at RŌSHI we rely on vegetable-tanned and high-quality chrome-tanned leathers that are free of harmful chromium VI. This approach guarantees not only durability and flexibility, but also sustainability.

Conceria Maryam, known for its exquisite shell cordovan, is a prime example of this quality. This leather is not only extremely durable but develops a fascinating patina over time. Tanneries Haas delivers buttery-soft calfskin, perfect for elegant designs, while Richard Hoffmans impresses with precise craftsmanship.

But leather is more than a material—it's the soul of a shoe. It tells stories of origin, craftsmanship, and character. At RŌSHI, we consciously focus on short supply chains and leather from animals raised outside the meat industry to uphold our values ​​of sustainability and ethics.

Our customers feel this quality with every step. A RŌSHI shoe isn't just a product, it's a companion for life – crafted from the finest materials and with a passion you can see and feel.
