PETER KAISER

Haustiere

PETER KAISEN sells women’s dress and casual shoes, boots, pumps, loafers and matching handbags. Most styles sit in the €180-€350 window, placing the brand in the premium segment. Shoes are sold through the German e-commerce site, 20 own stores in Germany and Austria, and about 600 independent footwear retailers across Europe. Founded in 1838, the company is the oldest existing women’s shoe manufacturer in Germany; 80-plus steps of production are still carried out in the Pirmasens factory, giving the label a “hand-made in Germany” credential. Signature lines such as the “ICON” pump (65-mm heel, almond toe) and the “Tango” over-knee boot use Italian leathers and Goodyear-welted or Blake-stitched soles for durability. Regular width-to-XL sizing and comfort cushioning built into elegant silhouettes are promoted as “looks plus wearability.” Core buyers are professional women aged 35-55 who want boardroom-appropriate footwear that will last a decade, not a season. They value understated design, European craftsmanship and ethical production (the factory is audited by the Fair Wear Foundation). The brand also attracts occasion-shoe shoppers who prefer a classic pump to trend-driven fast fashion. PETER KAISEN competes with other European premium heritage labels that balance tradition and modern style. It differentiates by keeping manufacturing in Germany while most rivals shifted to Spain or Italy, offering extended sizes and repair service, and pricing 15-20 % below comparable luxury houses.
