It started with a Rucksack...
A considered, durable and functional bag that was made for students. That was in 2012. A decade later, Rowdy has grown into a handmade luxury leather goods manufacturer.
Our story
The Rowdy name is a nod to the energy we bring to embracing basic goodness and pushing the boundaries of our craft. In the truest sense of the word, we are unabashedly enthusiastic, endlessly energetic, possibly a bit loud and, quite frankly, enjoying ourselves.
Craftsmanship
Each piece takes up to six hours to make by hand in Cape Town.
More than a bag
By sourcing free-range leather, backing every bag with our Limited Lifetime Guarantee and giving our team structured, stable working conditions, Rowdy works to grow in a way that respects people and nature. Repairs for Life terms
Considered classics
Rowdy combines inventiveness and know-how to create bags that are durable, unisex and designed to be as adaptable as you.
LEATHER
Leather that darkens and gains character with use. Small marks soften into the patina.
HANDMADE
Cut, stitched and finished by hand in Cape Town since 2012.
BUILT TO BE REPAIRED
