Leather Goods Crafted to Last
CAD creates refined leather accessories crafted in limited quantities, combining heritage, craftsmanship, and understated luxury.
About CAD
CAD was originally founded by Hans Jürgen Zimmermann and is now being revived by his grandson Carlos Zimmermann.
Today, the brand focuses on handcrafted leather goods created in limited quantities — combining timeless design with meticulous craftsmanship.
From cigar cases and card holders to watch sleeves and bespoke pieces, every CAD product is made with the intention of lasting for years and becoming part of its owner's everyday life.
Signature Pieces
The CAD No. 1 Card Holder is designed for those who carry with intention.
Handcrafted from Walpier "Rocky" black oiled vegetable-tanned shoulder leather — a supple, structured material that develops a rich patina with daily use, making every piece uniquely personal over time.
It features two dedicated card slots on each side and a spacious middle compartment for extra cards or folded cash, giving you the flexibility of a wallet in a fraction of the bulk.
Every piece is carefully handmade, reflecting CAD's commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and timeless design.
— Made to order. Each piece can be customised in a different leather, colour, or animal skin. Personalisation with stitching colour or embossed initials is also available. Reach out to discuss your commission.
The CAD No. 1 Cigar Case is designed for those who appreciate the ritual of a fine cigar.
Handcrafted from Walpier "Rocky" black oiled vegetable-tanned shoulder leather — a material chosen for its durability, structure, and the deep, character-rich patina it develops over time.
Built to protect and carry two cigars, the case is compact enough to travel effortlessly yet refined enough for the most distinguished settings.
Every piece is carefully handmade, reflecting CAD's commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and timeless design.

The CAD No. 1 Watch Sleeve is designed for those who travel with their watches and refuse to compromise on protection.
Handcrafted from Walpier "Rocky" black oiled vegetable-tanned shoulder leather — a supple yet structured material that holds its form while softening and patinating beautifully with use.
Slim and compact, it protects a single watch without bulk, sitting as naturally in a travel bag as it does on a dressing table.
