Cape Cobra (Pty) Ltd

General information

Founded in 1972, Cape Cobra Leathercraft is a three generation family-run organization that has become a leader in the design and development of exotic leather handbags.

Its extensive collection includes a range of day bags, evening bags, briefcases, belts, wallets and small leather accessories, made using the world’s finest exotic materials. Such as genuine Nile Crocodile, Ostrich, Karung and Python. The range, which embraces luxury and refinement for an exclusive individual, can be viewed and purchased from their showroom which is situated in the heart of De Waterkant, Cape Town.

Today, a whole new market recognizes CCL as a major name in the design and manufacture of premium leather goods. CCL has become the exotic leather manufacturer of choice for North America’s biggest design houses (Michael Kors, Marchesa, Calvin Klein) and worn by the British and Monegasque Royal families in addition to celebrities such as Debra Messing, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez and Anne Hathaway.

The organization continues to be family orientated with a heart for South Africa, despite its growth as a vibrant and internationally renowned business. A shared vision is alive in the very fabric of the CCL culture: to establish the organization as the exotic leather manufacturer of choice, and to position South Africa at the forefront of the international exotic leathercraft industry as a uniquely creative country that exceeds expectations through timeless age-old leather handcraft traditions and excellence in quality.
