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 handpicked, 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 any way, 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.
