This artisan bag producer sources its leather from Namibia and stitches everything by hand in Cape Town. While the luxe leather manufacturer has multiple locations in the city, don’t miss its Longkloof storefront. The neighboring sunglasses studio Ballo, clothing shops Ogun and Rosey and Vittori, other boutiques, cafes, bakeries, and Hilton’s Canopy hotel make for an excellent place to wile away an afternoon. Pro tip: when you’re done shopping, pop into the hotel lobby for more creative inspiration. The property displays colorful lights from V&A Waterfront vendor Ashanti Designs, intricate murals by South African artist Lerato Nkosi, and a towering giraffe sculpture.
