The Jekyll & Hide story is a simple one – founded in 2003 we set out to create a combination of authentically crafted, genuine leather products, procured from the best leather merchants from all corners of the world. Our design teams in Cape Town and London look to what our core customers needs are in order to ensure we create products that are lifelong partners in the travels and adventures of life.
Our leather is a hand picked, tough and resistant full-grain which is beautiful, long-lasting and tanned using a traditional and natural vegetable tanning process. Full-grain leather is considered the strongest and most durable type of leather. It is designed to resist moisture and over-time look more beautiful, developing its own characteristics over the course of its life.
Jekyll and Hide are committed to the principles and practices that require respect for the animals and environment that allow for the production of our leather collections. Therefore, no harmful chemicals are used during our tanning process and we do not alter the hides in anyway, leaving each skin with its natural folks and marks intact.
Leather is a natural product; potential colour variances are possible from batch to batch and may vary from product to product.
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Nobody wants to hear it. You end up sounding like a toddler trying to explain the latest episode of Game of Thrones.
The only dream worth talking about is Martin Luther's. Fact.
Anyhoo, we had a dream we sold out by noon today and spent the rest of our time hanging out the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Home Affairs. Crazy, huh?
