About Us
CT Leather Designs team creates a range of high-end genuine leather bags using local materials and quality craftsmanship. Since 1991, our small team has been designing and crafting our beautiful products together. Our range expands as we find inspiration and currently, it includes travel bags, handbags, our famous satchel, business briefcases and various smaller accessories. CT Leather designs is a platform for continuously exploring fresh designs and creative ideas in harmony with style and functionality. We construct our bags to last and grow more beautiful with age and wear. It is our intention to highlight the natural appearance of leather within our designs. We take the greatest care and consideration throughout each step of the process, from cutting and sewing the canvas, to finishing the leather and hammering the rivets – our bags are exclusively made in our studio in Harare, Zimbabwe.
