urban africa is a Cape Town based leather design studio – workshop that creates and custom-makes design pieces and fashionable accessories.
The brand prides itself on quality, innovation & custom design.

Pieces within the range include handbags, laptop sleeves, satchel & messenger bags, belts, wallets, cardholders, books, footwear & key rings.
Behind each design, there is the same vision : minimalistic, elegant, funky, timeless in design, trendy, understated but aspiring.

urban africa is also environmentally conscious. In 2010, the brand dropped the lining for most of its pieces.
These become lighter, softer; glue is nearly nonexistent & the leathers now breathe and are more flexible.

vincent urbain, founder of urban africa, also developed Afrographic.
For Afrographic, Women from Khayelitsha, one of South Africa’s biggest townships, are employed to handstitch the little keyrings that vincent sends all over the place.

It is for him a way to give back to the Community & to the Earth. More info on the Afrographic website.
