ILUNDI LABOURS OF LOVE
Ilundi products are labours of love. They can take up to 14 hours to make by hand. Every hole is hand punched and every stitch hand stitched. No Sewing machines are used. We prefer to do things with just our hands which is the hard way but also the the best way. We sew our products with the reliable saddle stitch, which is one of the oldest stitches used in leatherwork. It is much stronger than the lock stitch used in machine stitching. We use waxed thread for extra durability. Only the finest full grain vegetable tanned cowhide from tanneries within South Africa are used. Vegetable tanning allows the leather to continue to absorb water and oils throughout its lifetime, developing a rich patina with use. Ilundi products are designed and handcrafted by husband and wife team Safia and Brando, along with their small team of crafters in Cape Town.
‘The rich scent and luxurious texture of full grain leather is why we fell in love with the material. It improves with age and moulds to your lifestyle. Every time your Ilundi product is handled, the natural oils from your hands will transfer to the and condition it. Over time it will gradually change colour and shape to its contents. It will become your trusted companion that tells your story. “
