R.I.P. TORN HALLELU-JAH

Welcome to RTH Artisan Leather

Located in the heart of Afrika – South, also known as the Z.A.R.         

RTH Artisan Leather draws inspiration from the rugged lifestyle of the outdoors men and history of the pioneer country that is my homeland.

 Having lived on a farm, on the border of the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, I was  immersed in the rugged landscape and inspired by the rich  history of it’s  people and their pioneer spirit.

Now based in the Eastern Cape and working out of Jeffreys Bay I am finding a whole new chapter of inspiration to fuel my creative fire. The RTH story is deeply rooted in the spirit of the land that is my home.

Afrika - not for the faint hearted

A PASSION FOR LEATHER

Growing up in a culture that was immersed in the history of my settler forefathers and their pioneer spirit, I saw the world as a place where being bold and brave got you the most valuable prize…freedom. Looking at the world through hero stained glasses, I couldn’t help but notice that all my heroes always wore leather, or that leather played a part in conquering new frontiers.

The rich patina and unmistakable smell of old leather—whether it was a jacket, gun holster, or piece of luggage—always carried with it a sense of history, a story, a memory and sometimes even the promise of new adventures.

This sparked a desire in me to be part of this world and create products that would carry their own history and legacy.

Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Free!

Design Ethos

At RTH, we take pride in sustainable craftsmanship, creating products built to last. We prioritize eco-friendly practices, recycling materials where we can, and designing durable leather products made for everyday use.”

Scars, scratches, and marks on the leather used, are a testament to the life lived. These natural imperfections are not flaws but rather part of the unique character that makes a product truly one-of-a-kind.

We prioritize durability and performance through quality over perfection. Small imperfections in our products are a testament to their handcrafted nature.

Why you should invest in leather?

“For all the reasons mentioned, owning a product that accompanies you through life brings a sense of comfort and assurance. It creates a feeling of connection to the past, present, and future. You will probably hand down a well made product to the next generation.”

Feel free to reach out and contact me, it would give me great pleasure to assist you in acquiring a little piece of our history and make it part of your own.
