DEGELER was founded in 1998 – out of a simple need: luggage that doesn't get in the way, but helps. As a father-and-son company, we connect two generations – united in the conviction that design is only good when it makes life easier. Our roots lie in the German engineering spirit – our perspective is international. We think minimalistically, act precisely, and work with materials that set standards.

We're not looking for something new. We're looking for something better.
DEGELER isn't backed by investors or corporate structures – it's people. We develop products not for categories, but for situations: airports, conference rooms, train journeys, everyday life.
Our passion is what remains: quality, clarity, and the desire to make good things even better. That's why we do things differently. Or not at all.
