The Jekyll & Hide story is a simple one – founded in 2003 they set out to create a combination of authentically crafted, genuine leather products, procured from the best leather merchants from all corners of the world. Their design teams in Cape Town and London look to what their core customers needs are in order to ensure they create products that are lifelong partners in the travels and adventures of life.
Their leather is handpicked, tough and resistant full-grain which is beautiful, long-lasting and tanned using a traditional and natural vegetable tanning process. Full-grain leather is considered the strongest and most durable type of leather. It is designed to resist moisture and over time look more beautiful, developing its own characteristics over the course of its life.
A classic, single stud closing, a single opening wallet that combines compactness with all the essential features.
Once upon a time, like back in the late 90s, it was an absolute joy to take your brand new Nokia 3310 to school to show your friends, complete with its unnecessarily sturdy cover. You'd gather in a little circle and see who could get the highest score on Snake. Later, you'd go home and (while supposedly doing your homework) listen to your favourite music on a CD player covered with stickers of Boyzone and Britney. Life was sweet.
Fast-forward to 2024 and that phone and CD player would these days only be taken to school for 'show and tell' in history class. By now, you see, that stuff is hardly considered 'tech', but 'vintage'. You know what is considered tech, though? A lot of the stuff we're running deals on today in the name of Tech Tuesday!
