RIOS1931 began in Augsburg, Germany, in 1931, when Hans Riemer started the company with a focus on traditional leather craftsmanship. The business remains in the Riemer family today, carrying forward that workshop approach and emphasizing careful handwork over high-volume production.
The collection leans toward classic designs that highlight material and craft, reflecting a long-standing German tradition of measured, durable leather goods. Straps like the Nature and the Typhoon, both made from genuine buffalo leather, show how RIOS1931 pairs straightforward design with heritage-driven workmanship.
