Hi there, Sorry I had not read the rules at all. I just had a quick glance at them and will read them more in detail. My apologies as I had not intended to break any rules. Thanks.

Got to this discussion a little late. I also used to work for Goldpfeil, for the doomed NYC store and US wholesale. The quality is excellent. Some styles were stodgy, but others were fashion-forward. Too bad the US did not know how to appreciate this product. It is expensive (bags used to range from $700 to over $1,000) but other brands are even more expensive, but they sell, even though they are not better.

Another one late to the thread. Goldpfeil is available in a few department stores in the Philippines, though the selection is limited. I've only ever bought a few men's wallets to give as presents, and I did own a ladies wallet and a coin purse way back when. They do have excellent quality. The prices are actually reasonable considering the quality. I was able to get a wallet for DH for about $100 a few years back.

I have been trying to open their website, but without success.
Have also found that the company Egana Goldpfeil has announced insolvency in August 2008 (the info is in German language on Internet).

I have visited their shop in Munich once, but now I cannot find its phone number on Internet anymore. It was a handbag shop. Have also read that the Goldpfeil shop in Munich has been refurbished and that Jimmy Choo opened its store in that space.

Hopefully the insolvency crisis and going out of business do not refer to THIS Goldpfeil? Anybody knows?

Hi everybody:-)

As I can see that some of you have worked for goldpfeil, I was wondering if you could identify this bag (is it real leather ? year? price?)
It is really high quality and I love the colour, a yummy gold-beige!
I have received it from someone that swares it is vintage

thanks a lot in advance for any info!

Such a sad thread. I had a Goldpfeil bag many many years ago that was the most divine leather, only getting better with age. I gave it to my sister and I believe she gave it away. It had a brilliant design.

Egana Goldpfeil, the parent company got into financial difficulties and thus almost all of their brands (Joop, Comtesse, Salamander etc.) have been sold off to other parties. As of yet, the future is unclear regarding Goldpfeil.

Gold Pfeil found in Toronto, Canada!
Here is the good news for fans of Gold Pfeil! We are a store named Varello in Toronto, ON, we purchased lots of brand new Goldpfeil handbags right from the Goldpfeil headquarters in Germany before they closed.
We have briefcases, wallets, accessories, ladies handbags, etc.
Some pieces are a one of a kind! We also managed to bring them to the public at incredible prices!
Visit our website: www.varello.ca or call us at: 416-827-3193 for more information. We are the only store that sells this line in North America.

I am going to be in Berlin and Munich this October, and I would like to get a few Goldpfeil brown leather briefcases.

Did Goldpfeil close down in Germany? It seems that one can get Goldpfeil directly from the Offenbach factory -- if Goldpfeil does not import to the US, does anyone know how to buy directly from the factory? The Goldpfeil website does not open.

Varella looks really pretty, but I didn't see any men's briefcases on the site...

Hello all,
Can anyone help me get an estimated value on a Goldpfeil handbag, purchased in 2002, item #01-3598-00-245-9-001? It is a "Damentasche Edition Schwarz" in excellent condition. Thanks in advance!

Hope215 · Oct 29th, 2009, 05:29 PM

Does anyone know of a place that would repair a Gold Pfeil briefcase?

Thank you!

Hi,

Just coming in to you all here from Ireland. I have a Gold-Pfeil handbag which is in good used condition. It's got a distinctive strong leather odour from it and there is a small leather tag on the inside of the bag which reads in silver print "Gold-Pfeil Collection Colorado". Does this mean anything to anybody here? There does not appear to be a serial number of any kind to be found in or on the bag. The outside leather badge on the bag, the inner leather tag, the inner zip and the inner material all have what looks like an arrow symbol pointing downwards. I have read through the past postings on here and note that the shop in Berline/Frankfurt has closed down and I see postings in relation to there being perhaps a second brand of the same name? Either way, it would be great if anybody knew which one my bag belongs to! All queries/answers welcome!
