Die grösste Taschenherstellerin der Schweiz

KoKoTé bedeutet auf Suaheli „Wohin“. Wir fragen Menschen oft: „Woher kommst du?“ – viel seltener jedoch: „Wohin gehst du?“ Für uns steht genau diese Frage im Mittelpunkt. Unser Verständnis von Verantwortung reicht weit über nachhaltige Materialien und lokale Produktion hinaus. Es zeigt sich dort, wo wirtschaftliches Handeln, Menschlichkeit und Zukunftsperspektiven zusammenkommen. So gestalten wir nicht nur Produkte, sondern tragen dazu bei, eine lebenswerte Zukunft mitzugestalten.

We produce long-lasting products with a positive impact.

Franz Huber and his wife Yvonne Herzog founded KoKoTé in 2015. From the very beginning, it was important to them to produce and sell bags and accessories with a clearly recognizable design, while also implementing a private-sector solution to the education and integration of refugees. Both work for KoKoTé on a voluntary basis.
