The Relic Collection is launching this June and PoseZA has been invited with a few fashion and media personnel's to review the collection. Cape Cobra Leathercraft has a fully integrated design and manufacturing facility located in Cape Town. The factory can offer a private tour which features the process involved in the creation of a single piece, from the design phase through to end product. It includes a visit to the design room, stores, engineering department, and production. The showroom offers a complete range of classic and new collections available. Each piece is intricately designed, intimately handcrafted and timelessly elegant.
Robert Schafer is the managing director of Cape Cobra Leathercraft after succeeding the late Lothar Schafer in 2000. Robert has three children, of which eldest daughter Justine is the creative manager and heads up business development. Richard, the second eldest son, is also a director of the organization. Denise continues to work at the factory and is primarily responsible for ensuring that the quality of the goods produced are maintained at an exceptionally high standard.
Today, a whole new market recognizes CCL as a major name in the design and manufacture of premium leather goods. The organization continues to be family orientated with a heart for South Africa, despite its growth as a vibrant and internationally renowned business. A shared vision is alive in the very fabric of the CCL culture: to establish the organization as the exotic leather manufacturer of choice, and to position South Africa at the forefront of the international exotic leather craft industry as a uniquely creative country that exceeds expectations through timeless age-old leather hand-craft traditions and excellence in quality.
The blending of nostalgia and modern sophistication capture the true essence of Cape Cobra Leathercraft and its rich and vibrant history.
What inspired the "Relic Collection"?
The Relic Collection was inspired by centuries of objects and momentums collected by the Schafer family. Each of the seven designs feature elements of the memorabilia, through oval shapes and organic curves, vintage frames and wooden handles, and intricate embroidered patterns mimicked from over five generations of artisans. Gem like colours such as Rose Quartz and light sapphire add a hint of romance to the Spring/Summer pallet, while rich Emerald Green, Garnet and Tanzanite add depth to our Fall/ Winter collection.
This collection is a true testament to the history of the family and its origins, celebrating the flavours of culture and diversity through playful twists such as interchangeable and multi-coloured straps preserving the excellence of exotic leather craftsmanship.
