Who are we ?


For three decades, we have been best friends and share many passions across various fields: sports, games, adventures, films, music, interesting conversations, food and drinks, and more. 

Our interests have certainly evolved since our teenage years, but one element has always remained at the forefront: conviviality. 

A warm and friendly atmosphere can be found in many activities, but when we distill this concept to its essence, it often boils down to the fundamental elements: sharing food and drinks, having enjoyable conversations, and a fire. 

So it’s no coincidence that barbecues are so popular worldwide.

ConvivialitY​



Fully enjoying life while always respecting the world around us. 

Since the beginning of our friendship, we’ve shared the belief that the best way to have fun is to share the most beautiful moments with others. 

Not only does this enhance the intensity of the experience, but it also allows you to share the stories endlessly afterward. So, we are friends with a rich collection of shared memories. 

And the icing on the cake is that these stories were often lived with other friends. 

Memories are the last important treasures we can take from a person. So build this wealth as best as you can while you still can.

 

Historique de notre parcours

2018
The seed is planted

Gunther has just treated himself to a new barbecue and discovers a new passion in grilling. 

Soon after, he begins searching for a high-quality leather apron to use during his cookouts.

2019
The idea begins to take shape

Having not found a leather apron that he liked, Gunther starts to consider creating his own aprons. 

Already a business owner with access to sophisticated machinery, he acquires a piece of leather and conducts tests that prove successful. 

At this point, he asks his friends if they would be interested in starting a company specializing in leather aprons with him. It doesn’t take much to convince his long-time friends to dive into this project.

2020
Quality at Every Level

The goal is clear, and the design is meticulous at every level. The aprons must be top-notch from A to Z. 

This means a timeless design, premium full-grain leather, and supple material to ensure both flexibility and durability. 

The icing on the cake: a large laser machine enables beautiful high-definition engravings in all sizes.

2022
100% Belgian Production

The production is a beautiful result that combines artisanal craftsmanship with the flexibility and precision of high technology.

DelVache aprons are starting to be recognized in the Belgian and French markets as the benchmark for high-quality, personalized aprons.

2023
Expanding the Range to Other Products

With the expertise gained in leatherworking, it’s time to broaden the product line. 

 This means that we’re not just making leather products anymore; we’re also developing and offering additional items related to the world of barbecue.

2024
Professionals are beginning to discover us

A growing number of professionals are starting to order aprons from us. Restaurants, hotels, and other cocktail bars are proudly wearing our DelVache aprons.
