A unique brown business backpack made of natural leather

Exceptional design combined with the highest quality materials gives us the image of the Jekyll & Hide company. The English manufacturer is already highly recognisable in the international market, especially among discerning consumers who love the best style, quality, and unique design. Jekyll & Hide is a lifestyle company that combines original craftsmanship and attention to detail with a fresh style and 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 "real" everyday partners for those seeking authentic, durable leather accessories. The brand's roots lie in functionality - combining classic with modern demands. Jekyll & Hide products combine functionality and design that surpass the variability of fashion and trends. It is now an international brand available at some of the most prestigious retailers worldwide.

LEATHER

Their leather is hand-picked, tough and durable full-grain cowhide, 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 be moisture-resistant and to look more beautiful over time. Jekyll and Hide adhere to principles and practices that require respect for animals and the environment, allowing for the production of exclusive leather collections. Therefore, no harmful chemicals are used in the tanning process.

RESPONSIBILITY

Sustainability is in their DNA. So, when they considered 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 stylish leather goods. This will not change, but today they pay more attention to how to do it differently.

RECYCLED MATERIALS

In line with their sustainability declaration, the brand has begun the process of replacing all their fabrics with 100% recycled material sourced from used plastic bottles. So far, they have recycled and removed over 95,000 used plastic bottles from landfills and oceans.

SPEKBOOM PROJECT

The company has teamed up with a dynamic native nursery to help and offset their carbon footprint by growing and maintaining Spekboom. This proud South African wonder plant is one of the most effective plants in the world at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. For this project, Jekyll has secured its own hectare of land and plans to grow around 6,000 plants in 2020.
