ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Jekyll & Hide is a lifestyle brand that merges original craftsmanship and attention to detail with fresh styling and a modern attitude - creating timeless pieces to accompany you on your journey through life.
Launched in Cape Town in 2002, Jekyll & Hide was created to provide "real" everyday partners to those looking for authentic, long lasting leather accessories.
Our roots are in functionality - combining classic styling with modern demands.
Jekyll & Hide pieces blend function and design that surpass the fickleness of fad and fashion.
We are now an international brand stocked by some of the most prestigious retailers in the world.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Permanence is in our DNA. So, when we reflected on how to contribute to our planet’s future, we looked inward and decided to apply our intrinsic ethos to a sustainable vision.
Most of the goods we produce are leather-based. This won’t change, but we are more mindful of how to do this differently.
Below are our ongoing projects:
RECYCLED MATERIALS
In line with our sustainability statement, we have begun the process of replacing all of our fabrics with a 100% Recycled material derived from used plastic bottles.
To date we have recycled and diverted over 95 000 used plastic bottles from both landfill and oceans.
SPEKBOOM PROJECT
We have teamed up with a dynamic indigenous nursery to assist us in offsetting our carbon footprint by growing and maintaining Spekboom.
This proudly South African miracle plant is one of the most affective plants in the world at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. We have secured our own hectare of land for this project, and plan to grow around 6000 plants in 2020.
