Free-range leather
Across the Rowdy range we use African-sourced cowhide, from nubuck to hard-wearing corrected grain. The hides are natural and full of character: each one shows its own differences in colour and grain.
A good place to work
At Rowdy, a good working environment is at the heart of everything we do. Our team in Cape Town works in structured, stable conditions with a comprehensive range of benefits.
