LEIT & HELD is a young collective from Zurich and Berlin.

Founded by Nina Kunkel, Pia Held and Dana Mikoleit, their aim is to create products with a strong commitment for sustainability and foster its implementation from the first sketch to the final product. The interdisciplinary trio is interested in the raw materials and focus on the traceability of the whole value chain. Their products will result in long-lasting leather goods that tell their story but also narrate their own.
