Local is lekker!

So often we tend to look to international fashion houses for design inspiration, when we have amazing talent right here in South Africa.

It's time to start investing in local and get yourself a high-quality leather bag. Gone are the days of owning 20 handbags - get one bag that you can wear to various occasions. Even if it means spending a bit more.

Quality over quantity.

I cannot tell you how often I swoon over local designers' work, especially on Instagram.

Don't know any local designers?

The likes of Missibaba, Jane Sews, Pichulik, Adriaan Kuiters + Jody Paulsen and the mighty Thalia Strates design spectacular, locally-made handbags you need to shop immediately.

Here are a few of our favourites:
