Welcome to Popp & Kretschmer's new homepage
We invite you to surf through our site and get inspired by the spring-summer-collection
2003 that has already arrived!
You are, of course, cordially invited to visit our shop and let us present
the new collection to you in person.
We are looking forward to your visit and hope to be able to welcome you at
Popp & Kretschmer very soon.
Since being founded in 1889 Popp & Kretschmer - which has always occupied
the same location - has enjoyed a reputation as one of Vienna's leading purveyors
of leather goods and travel accessories.
Moreover, our range has always included the traditional 'Viennese Bronzes'
that continue to embody the skill and fine art involved in this traditional
handicraft. Despite the company's outstanding reputation, not to mention the
odd innovation -- such as Vienna's first neon advertising, Popp & Kretschmer
went through some financial difficulties in the early seventies; dividing
stakes in the company up among several shareholder families didn't help in
this respect.
In 1975 the company was going through the worst period in its history before
the present owner was able to obtain successive stakes in the company, thus
bringing all shareholdings under one roof for the first time in the company's
history.The following years saw the expansion of our range to include ladieswear
-- now accounting for the bulk of our turnover -- shoes and accessories. This
fundamental change has been accompanied by constant expansion of the sales
floor. Over the same period the number of staff has risen from three to its
present average of eighteen.
Right in the heart of Vienna at the top end of the pedestrian precinct that
runs along Kärntnerstraße opposite the Viennese State Opera and
a mere stone's throw away from the world-famous "Hotel Sacher".
