About
Die Lederwerkstatt by Elke Marina Riedler is a master saddlery in the heart of Bad Ischl, in Austria's Salzkammergut region. Handcrafted leather goods, careful repairs and bespoke commissions — all produced to the highest standard of craftsmanship with personal consultation.
Company story
Elke Marina Riedler learned her craft in the tradition of Austrian saddlery and today runs one of the few remaining master workshops in the Salzkammergut. In her workshop, bags, belts, repairs and custom pieces are created — each one unique, made with genuine leather and genuine handwork. Her atelier in Bad Ischl is more than a shop: a place where craftsmanship is lived.
