Groundcover Leather Company was founded in 1990 by Justin and Amanda McCarthy. A family business located on a farm in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa, Groundcover is the expression of a lifelong passion for leatherwork and a search for a meaningful livelihood.
From small beginnings, we have grown into a sensibly sized, sustainable enterprise and have become well-known as makers of original, finely handcrafted leather footwear and accessories.
