Company history
Ettinger began as a British importer of leather goods and luxury gifts from continental Europe. England then still had an important leather industry, and it was in London that the finest leather goods were made.
From the 1950s to the '80s, Ettinger gradually strengthened its manufacturing base in London and then in Walsall, still under the helm of "Gerry" Ettinger.
Robert Ettinger, Gerry's eldest son, took over in 1990. The company specialised further into small upmarket leather goods and developed the Ettinger brand, notably in Japan.
