Fantastic London leather shopping bag

Prestigious design combined with the highest quality raw materials gives us the image of Jekyll & Hide. The English manufacturer is already well recognized on the international market, especially among conscious consumers who love the best style, quality, and unique design. Jekyll & Hide is a lifestyle brand that combines original craftsmanship and attention to detail with fresh style and a modern approach — creating timeless pieces that will accompany you on your journey through life.

Launched in Cape Town in 2002, Jekyll & Hide was created to provide “true” everyday partners for those seeking authentic, durable leather accessories. The brand’s roots lie in functionality — blending classic design with modern demands. Jekyll & Hide products combine functionality and design that surpass fashion trends and fads. Today, it is an international brand available at some of the most prestigious retail outlets worldwide.

LEATHER

Their leather is hand-selected, firm, and durable full-grain cowhide, which is beautiful, long-lasting, and tanned using traditional and natural vegetable tanning processes. Full-grain leather is considered the strongest and most durable type of leather. It is designed to be resistant to moisture and to develop a more beautiful appearance over time. Jekyll & Hide adhere to principles and practices that respect animals and the environment, allowing for the production of authentic leather collections. Therefore, no harmful chemicals are used in the tanning process.

RESPONSIBILITY

Durability is in their DNA. So, when they wondered how to contribute to the future of our planet, they looked inward and decided to apply their internal ethos to a sustainable vision. Most of their products are elegant leather goods. This will not change, but today they pay more attention to doing it differently.

RECYCLING MATERIALS

In line with their sustainability commitments, the brand has started replacing all their fabrics with 100% recycled materials derived from used plastic bottles. To date, they have recycled and removed over 95,000 plastic bottles from landfills and oceans.

SPEKBOOM PROJECT

The company partnered with a dynamic local nursery to help offset their carbon footprint through the cultivation and maintenance of Spekboom. This proud South African succulent is one of the most effective plants in the world for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. For this project, Jekyll & Hide secured their own hectare of land and planned to grow around 6,000 plants in 2020.
