Dirty Leather
South Africa, Cape Town
The name Dirty Leather Bags was born after looking at some rough, yet beautifully hand-made leathercrafts.
Main Services:
Sourcing leather bags, Manufacturing different types of leather products, Leather Laptop bags, Leather handbags, leather backpacks, Leather crossbody bags and slings
They couldn’t be described in any way other than rough and dirty! Hence our name was born.
Can you imagine owning your own unique and hand-crafted leather companion? Seldom will two ever be the same. Local crafters, some from rural regions of South Africa, and our neighbours provide these beautiful creations.
Each item is individually crafted by people passionate about their calling. Whatever you choose, it is sure to become your friend for life! Due to the nature of leather hides and crafting methods used in these areas, some hides may have slight imperfections, thus, adding to the character and uniqueness of your purchase.
We founded Dirty Leather Bags in July of 2018, with the aim of promoting local crafters and their skills. We encouraged our partners to participate in local and regional markets in their own right. And so, at Dirty Leather, we began our own journey trading on local markets in the Helderberg and Stellenbosch areas.
With the advent of COVID 19, this sadly had to be put on hold. In order to fulfill our orders and keep our loyal and valued clients happy and help our crafters to continue to have an income, we expanded into an online store in July of 2020.
Since then, we and our partners have learned much about our clients and their needs. We are continuing to upskill ourselves and to introduce new and exciting products into our store and keeping stock of your old favourites.
As we grow, we are very aware that thanks are due to our loyal clients for their support and input. We welcome feedback and suggestions for improvements and additions to our product range.
