About Scharlau
Photo by Scharlau
Scharlau is the creation of its namesake and founder, Werner Scharlau. As a young man, he began to manufacture leather goods but soon had to give it up to take over his father’s business. Throughout the next 20 years, Scharlau traveled frequently for business and noticed that many items such as suitcases, briefcases, and bags weren’t of good quality and broke easily. Scharlau decided to put his knowledge of leather goods and traveling to use and to create the perfect items to make your traveling experience both functional and stylish, with a high-quality product. From this idea and passion, Scharlau was born.

There is also more storage space for other items, the amount depending on the bag. All bags are made from top-quality leather, made to last you a lifetime, and are produced right here in Barcelona. As an added touch, every Scharlau bag has a small metal nameplate inside that is engraved with the name of the owner.
