Hannes Strolz had long harbored the idea of a high-quality, handcrafted leather ski boot bag. After their first meeting, he knew immediately that he could bring his idea to life with Christine Dünser, a shoe and bag maker from Dornbirn.

The two passionate leather enthusiasts found each other. They created a sketch, built a paper model, and selected the perfect leather. Of course, an espresso was a must at the presentation of the ski boot bag prototype — a reminder for the master craftswoman of her apprenticeship in Florence.

The blue-handled ski boot bag, designed to match the new EVOLUTION Black Pearl skis, is available at the Skibootique in Lech. It can also be produced with a different handle color upon request.
