All leather we supply is obtained legally, and no animal has been hunted only for its skin. We do not condone or knowingly participate in the commercialisation of wildlife products where prohibited by law. All of our game products originates from sanctioned culls. Culling is especially necessary to protect herd lands from the devastating effects of overpopulation, and is therefore a positive, productive process. Responsible operators specifically use the proceeds of culling to develop waterholes and other infrastructure, in order to contribute to and ensure the survival and growth of African herds. By maximising the return to the farmer, better control is then afforded which maintains and even improves the value of animals and strengthens each species’ long-term survival prospects. Culling is therefore an essential conservation action – it helps to continue the natural cycle of life.

Hand stitching is by far, superior to machine stitching, as it does not run and is much more durable. Hand stitching allows for complete quality control in each step of the manufacturing process. We use 16 strand, rot-free, waxed thread and it is sown into the leather to avoid abrasion damage during use.
