who we are

KARLA is us, a small company from South Tyrol dedicated to the handmade art of producing "leather" goods from AppleSkin™. Animal-friendliness, regional sourcing, and attention to detail are our top priorities.

Using the material AppleSkin™ made from South Tyrolean apple remnants, we craft bags, belts, and accessories. All are handmade unique pieces, produced and processed locally. The designs are simple and elegant, available in five colors.
We like it simple and practical—timeless and in natural hues, making them suitable for any outfit.

The company is named after the legendary cat ‚Karla.‘ Karla‘s creations are masterpieces, bearing her paw print with a mission: we‘ve taken the leap, investing several years, countless working hours and savings to create exquisite leather products on a purely plant-based basis.
Each piece is a statement for style, empathy, and environmental protection.

But that‘s not all: one part of the proceeds goes toward supporting a sanctuary for farm animals. KARLA is not just stylish but also heartfelt. Every purchased product not only promotes sustainability, locality, animal- and eco-friendliness but also directly supports and improves the lives of our furry friends.
