Every step in our production line is conceptualized
so that i’d be possible to consider it an ecological and social responsibility maxime.

Respect for wild animals
and the natural world
drives the design and production
of our clothing, shoes and companions.

For a future beyond 2050.
Approximately 15’000 red deer are hunted annually in Switzerland.
Astonishingly, the majority of these deer hides are disposed.
Here is our story told by the founders…

Probably the most natural black leathershoe you can find.
It was in summer 2018 in Steffisburg BE, Switzerland, at Jürg Zellers tannery,
when his colleague Andi came up with the solution
to our aim for a most natural blackened, Valonea oak tanned red deer leather.
And it was the day before Xmas, when Silvano Sassettis shipment
of our first natural black Cervo Volante shoes arrived at Store Zurich.
The solution ain’t no secret, it’s a forgotten, traditional method.

In the first place, a large part is being used for agricultural purposes, be it for livestock farming or the ever more intensive fodder cultivation. The industrial sector is also very water-demanding, either as a raw material, solvent, hydroelectric source or coolant.
