001: Artisinal Leather Craft & Alpine Hike

Curiosity is the instinct to ask "why?", like in why are we suddenly seeing the Sennengürtel, the belt of a traditional herdsman's costume, in the streets of cosmopolitan Zürich? These beautiful, handmade, silver-embellished leather goods are making their comeback from alpine regions to fashion runways. Join us on our very first expedition to the leathercraft atelier of an 8th-generation master beltmaker to explore traditional embellishment techniques and design. Craft and take home your own custom Appenzeller belt. While your belt is being expertly finished, we head to higher grounds: the mountain lake that inspired the logo of the region's favourite beer, Quöllfrisch, and a scenic view that's TikTok-famous for a reason.
