LOVE LOCAL

Unique local lifestyle brands we're loving, and why you should too

Leon Engelbrecht Design

We love the new L E D luxury leather handbag. Made from full-grain, French goat leather—the same used by global icons like HERMÈS, each bag is entirely handstitched using the prestigious saddle stitch, featuring 18K gold-plated feet, cork-lined pockets, hand-painted edges, magnet closure and a unique serial number. Complete with a L E D Mulberry silk scarf and a matching 18K gold bracelet, these bespoke creations are scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and designed for timeless elegance. With a 6–8 week lead time, customisations and pricing are available by personal appointment only.

It was only a matter of time then, for their selection of bathroom and bedroom accessories, enchanting home fragrances, soft furnishings, captivating lighting, and rugs to find a home in Windhoek. A beacon of inspiration and possibilities for architects, designers and homeowners alike; whether in the capital or at the coast, a browse through Habitat entices everybody to bring joie de vivre to their homes and businesses.
