A
man who works with his hands is a labourer; a man who work with his hands and
his brain is a
craftsman; a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an
artist. ~ Louis Nizer
Welcome
-
We manufacture leather bags, totally by hand, do hand stitching only and use carefully
selected top- and full-grain leather which is tanned to our exacting standards.
-
Our manufacturing technique is based on the 18th Century manufacturing method of old Europe
and England. With added modern ergonomic principles, our bags will outlive the short lives
of modern fashion, yet give image and style to the wearer. We have added the “female” touch
to designs and made sure that our bags are user friendly.
-
Our carefully selected fittings and fasteners make us unique on the African continent. This
was due to a diligent search for designs and enhancing these in our own manufacturing
workshop.
Hand manufacturing forces us to a limit of 40 units per month. But this allows us to market
our LIMITED EDITION bags only to very carefully selected outlets over the world.
-
Our leather selection and careful proud quality control allows us to read and cut our
leather to ensure the best possible appearance, rather than make the most bags out of each
skin. Fortunately for us, the off-cut leather pieces are ideal for our bangle manufacturing
unit.
-
Matzi Leather is now displaying their work to tourists in the Old Jail building in
Vanrhynsdorp which has been re-opened as a Crafters venue.
Our Vision:
To manufacture leather bags, totally by hand, do hand stitching only and use
carefully selected full grain leather which is tanned to their exacting standards.
