When we buy food, most people make sure that the products come from the region. So why shound´t we transfer this approach to other areas of life? For this reason, we present two regional manufacturers who have earned our WIR DENKEN UM label.
Josef Zollner has been running the businessin the third generation since 1993, founded by his grandfather in 1923. In addition to all orthopedic work, two-stitched shoes and mountain shoes from his own collection are manufactured in his Partenkirchner workshop. To this day, Zollner shoes are made from cowhide. They are characterized above all by their accuracy of fit, convenience and quality.
Anda what? Andalui!
On the Loisach. In Bavarian tongue: AN-DA-LUI.
Andalui stands for clever simplicity – without sacrificing functionality. No seams and no glue – pure leather. Andalui products are made from high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather, whose patina is becoming more and more individual and beautiful and can tell its own story. Through daily use, the leather gets softer, more flexible and develops into your personal flatterer.

The leather is processed by hands by the two creative minds, Florian Wöretshofer and Verena Mandl, in their factory in Partenkirchen with lots of love. The idea for these unique pieces came to them on a backpack trip through Nepal. Here they had only the most necessary things with them – simple, compact and practical in everyday life. They used the time on the roof of the world to think about the necessities in life and the conscious renunciation of abundance.
“As in architecture, making the good better only works if you leave out everything that is unnecessary.”
Clever minimalism. Because they love their homeland so much, one of the most beautiful peaks in the Bavarian Alps – the Alpspitze – adorns their products.
The overarching goal is to combat climate change in the medium and long term in order to make our planet more livable and to improve working conditions. This goal is fed by our love of nature, the winters snowed in our homeland, the forests, meadows and rivers. We believe that it would be unfair if our children and grandchildren couldn´t be inspired by this fantastic nature. Since we don´t think in quarters, but in generations, there is no point in hiding and closing our eyes to the grievances regarding sustainability that are still prevalent at the moment. That is why we are ready to leave old paths and to take new ones.
These regional producers help with their products to make the world a little better.
