Has a Story
Chimpel is a Cape Town, South Africa based design and production studio, specialising in exquisitely crafted handmade accessories. Only the best exotic and full-grain hides found within South Africa are used to create uniquely crafted products with sharp design and precise execution.
Sustainable and ethical leather sourcing is core to our brand. We only use reputable, licensed tanneries, and an entire skin is used to make a complete handbag, because minimising waste is core to our business.
