Founded by Gerry Ettinger in 1934, Ettinger remains a family-owned business, now run by his eldest son, Robert Ettinger. It is one of the few remaining British luxury leather goods companies still manufacturing in the UK, and it prides itself on designing and handcrafting only the finest leather products.

In 1996, in recognition of its work for the Royal Household, Ettinger of London was granted a Royal Warrant by HRH The Prince of Wales.
