185 years of ROECKL

A heritage firm is celebrating its anniversary

The story of ROECKL – Where tradition meets quality

Since its establishment in 1839 by Jakob Roeckl in Munich, our brand has been dedicated to the art of glove making. What began as a small glove-making shop has evolved over generations into a symbol of traditional craftsmanship and exceptional quality. Our glove DNA continues to define us today: unparalleled quality, exquisite materials, perfect fit, and timeless design. These principles are upheld in every generation, allowing us to create leather gloves that meet the highest standards.

Even today, we remain true to our roots. With a passion for craftsmanship, we pursue perfection—not only in glove production but also in leather bags, silk scarves, knitted shawls, hats, and other leather accessories. All products are characterized by the unmistakable quality, attention to detail, and stylish design that our brand represents.

Annette Roeckl - Chief Executive Officer representing the sixth generation

At the helm of the brand since 2003 is Annette Roeckl, who leads our family business into its sixth generation. With passion and a clear vision, she guides our brand towards a modern future while remaining true to our roots. She embodies continuity and quality, merging the company's heritage with contemporary elements. "Our brand thrives on the connection between tradition and modernity," states Annette Roeckl. "We aim to continue captivating our audience with our quality, craftsmanship, elegance, and style."

For over 185 years, we have remained loyal to our Munich location, producing in our own manufacturing facilities across Europe and operating a dedicated glove and bag workshop for product development in Munich.
