Cape Cobra Leathercraft - Luxury exotic handbags and accessories made in South Africa since 1972.

The business Gypsey Lou was born and operates from the small seaside village, Wilderness on the Garden Route, Western Cape, South Africa. What started out as a hobby soon turned into a thriving small business. Our dedicated and creative staff produce the most beautiful quality handbags which are becoming well known throughout South Africa and now over the world. Our handbags are made in the highest quality fabric, and all finishes (i. e. handles) are in genuine leather. Where possible, we try to source our beautiful fabrics from in and around South Africa because local is lekker! We specialize not only in handbags, but also in beautiful handcrafted fabric belts and sunhats.

Reversible tote bags, crossbody bags, sling bags, shoulder bags, and home Decor includes beautiful scatter cushion covers. Our fabric is locally sourced and woven in South Africa.
