What's our leather like?
I put precious time into making each item. So I want it to last a long time.
This is why we use heavy duty boot grade leather, sometimes split a bit thinner but never compromising longevity.
This means it will take a week or few for your item to ‘break-in’ and form around the unique contents you’ve placed inside.
You can speed up this natural forming process by firmly pressing and gripping your item around any tight areas while the contents are inside. Clenching your teeth and grunting angrily may help.
Where did it come from?
Heaven.
An hour’s scenic drive from our Studio is the small town of Wellington that does two things well. Leather and Brandy.
There lies our Tannery. They are the oldest tannery in the Southern Hemisphere and at 175 years old they really know what they’re doing...until Friday’s when they move over to the Brandy and don't know what they're doing.
During the week however, we work closely to produce leather of international Grade A quality right here in South Africa.
Arrives exceptionally packaged.
