It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them!
THE COMPANY
Sokrates Design GmbH was founded in 1996 to produce high-quality leather goods for the luxury goods industry.
Individually planned collections manufactured to the highest standards for corporations in the automotive industry,
Since then, industrial companies and the merchandising business have formed the company’s core business.
For over two decades, we have seen ourselves as a partner and service provider to internationally renowned brands/companies and cooperate with various production partners in Europe and Asia on a basis of trust. This network allows us to respond particularly well to your specific wishes and requirements in the development and production of your leather goods and to expertly procure components such as metal fittings for handbags and luggage, logos, materials such as fabrics or replacement leather and technical accessories such as cell phone or iPad cases.
Or to develop components according to their ideas.
László Horváth – owner of the company – has been personally responsible for the development, design, technology and worldwide implementation of projects right through to series production on site since the company was founded.
As the owner of the company and a “master fine bag maker” with almost 40 years of professional experience, he is a “veteran” of the leather goods industry and still sees himself as personally responsible for everything from project development to series production.
COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
… in times of galloping globalization, advancing climate change, political correctness and changing values in an ever faster changing world, successful companies are increasingly concerned with the ethical, moral and social aspects of their business activities.
As a company operating in Europe and Asia, we also follow clearly defined values, and not just towards our customers.
Sokrates Design GmbH and its partners have been living these values for over twenty years.

With this in mind, we regularly visit the production facilities on site – also together with our customers. This creates trust and transparency for a successful joint business relationship. Spirit of long-standing partnerships……

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability in economic, ecological and social terms is the essential guideline for our actions. By treating people and the environment with respect, we treat our planet and the available resources responsibly. Die Einhaltung z.B.von REACH-Verordnungen als Bedingung unserer Kunden sind selbstverständlich und ein Teil des Produktes.
Is sustainability seriously feasible in a consumer society in which “greed is cool”? …….. and why sustainable management is now a corporate objective
There are always situations in which the activities of companies collide with social values or ecological concerns. The need for genuine, transformative sustainability is more acute than ever. And not only because the ecological and social problems are becoming more threatening every day, but also because the pressure on companies to act is increasing directly and from several sides at the same time. Customers and their consumers expect traceable sustainability and transparent processes. But are you prepared to pay a fair and reasonable price for high-quality materials and your premium product in this context? The legitimate question therefore arises as to how manufacturers and companies alike can effectively contribute to the realization of the ambitious goals. This raises the question of whether it is sustainably possible to prevent climate change, plastic waste in the oceans and species extinction without the customer’s support through their own foresight and a financial contribution to the eco-efficient product. For our part, a clear NO.
Sustainability worthwhile
Striving for a transformation towards sustainability in order to secure the option for our own company to grow in a relatively “NEW” market should be our common goal in the future. Expand your portfolio with high-quality eco-efficient products and accompany our service concepts with your responsible actions.
As a company, you also help to strengthen your brand. Upgrading their product range, reducing avoidable risks and new business models with sustainability aspects are ultimately the result of joint efforts and can undoubtedly prove to be attractive sales and profit drivers today, although this is not the primary objective.
The big winner? A customer with an open mind for progress and sustainability, with foresight and the desire to act in an exemplary manner through their purchase.
Toro Verde
About two years ago, we asked ourselves why we in the luxury leather goods industry were inspired to bring premium products to the market?
It is obvious why we addressed this question. In our view, there are more than enough outstanding and legendary brands on the international market today
