Yupitaze Fischleder

A second life for the fish - Unique products made from fish leather such as accessories, bags, purses, cases and much more.

In our manufactory in Reitzenschlag, Litschau, we produce fish leather by hand. For this purpose, the former stable wing of our square farm was converted into a factory for the production of fish leather and a sales room. We can offer guided tours in our heated presentation room all year round.

For years, people all over the world tried to produce fish leather that was soft and flexible without losing the natural pattern of fish leather. Mostly without success.

We have succeeded in processing the skin of carp, salmon, char and some other fish species into soft, supple fish leather without having to resort to conventional tanning. This preserves the natural color and unique structure of the fish leather.

We have thus developed a new material that can be used in a variety of ways, both for exclusive fashion and for high-quality leather goods such as bags, shoes and accessories. Thanks to its extraordinary appearance and durability, there are virtually no limits to the use of this new material.

During a guided tour, visitors learn how the idea of making leather from fish skins came about, which fish species are suitable for fish leather and which processes are necessary to make the fish leather soft. You will also find lots of other interesting information about fish, especially carp in the Waldviertel. Of course, there is also a wide range of fish leather goods available in the store.
