About Us

We started our brand because we wanted to bring back the art of traditional leatherwork, using techniques that have stood the test of time for hundreds of years. We think that true luxury is in the details, which is why we carefully hand-stitch each article with premium full-grain leather that comes from trusted suppliers and is sourced in a sustainable way. 

Picture this: a bustling workshop where skilled artisans painstakingly handcraft each article, pouring their passion and expertise into every stitch.

One by one, our skilled workers take the soft leather and turn it into a work of art with personality, durability, and beauty that can't be beat. When you hold our hand-stitched article, you'll feel a connection to the centuries-old craftsmanship that went into making it.

Leading Time:

At Leather For Real, we believe in the slow fashion philosophy, which puts quality craftsmanship and sustainability at the top of the list. All our products are made to order because of this. 

If you buy something from us, you can be sure that it was made with the utmost care and attention to detail. This means that it might take a little longer for your order to get to you. We ask that our customers understand that it can take between 10 and 15 working days for the items they've bought to arrive. This makes sure that we maintain the highest standards of craftsmanship while making sure that each product fits your needs. 

OUR STORY

Where It All Began

Welcome to Leather for Real, a world of handcrafted leather items that will warm your heart. Our small business, which is in the beautiful Boland area of South Africa, makes a dream come true in a beautiful way. Since I was a little girl, I was amazed by how well my grandfather could work with leather, I knew that one day I would also make things that everyone would love. 

After a year of hard work and passion, we are proud to show you our collection of carefully made leather goods. Each piece comes from a deep love of creativity and a strong desire to get it right every time. Leather feels like magic when we touch it, and we think that only the best leather can be made into the best products. Every step of our process is infused with real love for the craft, from carefully choosing the best materials to making each item with the utmost precision. 

But it's not just because we love leather; it's because we want to make something unique for you. We want to give you more than just a product; we want to give you an experience that makes you happy. Whether you're looking for a classic accessory, a unique gift, or an elegant everyday companion, our handcrafted leather pieces are made to make you feel truly loved.
