Cape Cobra Leathercraft
Exclusive leatherwear manufacture
Cape Cobra Leathercraft is a third-generation, women-led family business dedicated to crafting luxury handbags and accessories from sustainably sourced specialty leathers. Founded in 1972, we are Africa’s longest-standing luxury leather goods atelier, a true pioneer in the art of fine leathercraft. Our name is inspired by the Cape Cobra, a symbol of the natural beauty and rich heritage of South Africa – the place we proudly call home. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our atelier in Woodstock, Cape Town, where Justine Schäfer continues her family’s legacy as the third generation.
