HAMEL was born out of a love and passion for vegetable tanned leather, and the belief that every person should embrace their unique sense of style.

 Launched in South Africa, HAMEL is a bespoke leather-fashion and accessories brand that combines expert craftsmanship and attention to detail with the highest quality vegetable tanned leather. The result is authentic, timeless creations that will be adorned and cherished for years to come. All items are meticulously edge painted for a final finish and all fittings have been specifically chosen to elevate the unique look of each creation.

The charming characteristics of our leather will entice all your senses, from its distinct, soothing smell and soft-to-the-touch feel, to its incredibly beautiful colour tones. Our leather is hand-picked and sourced from The Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium in Tuscany. The leather is tanned using an age-old traditional process with natural plant-based tannins that give it a longevity and beauty only an artisanally-crafted product can sustain.

The entire process operates in symbiosis with the environment that respects the precepts of sustainability and circularity, and all of our leather is a biproduct of the food industry, which means no animal is killed for its skin. For your peace of mind, each Hamel piece is issued with a trademarked warranty certificate that guarantees the manufacturing processes of the leather.

At HAMEL, we embody the essence of unparalleled elegance and timeless fashion with leather accessories to update any capsule wardrobe OOTD.
