YOU ARE NOT JUST BUYING AN EXQUISITE KAT VAN DUINEN PRODUCT,
YOU ARE INVESTING IN A TIMEPIECE THAT WILL LAST FOR GENERATIONS, AND GIVING BACK TO A COMMUNITY
OF CRAFTSMEN COMMITTED TO DELIVERING UNPARALLELED QUALITY.
Our craftsmen have dedicated decades of their lives to their
craft; many have 20 or 30 years of experience. They have the
trade in their blood: a skill handed down in their families. Kat van
Duinen is committed to upholding, preserving and celebrating
the incredible artistry of this process. We are proud to say
that our leather pieces are made in South Africa, supporting
communities that have contributed to the trade for generations.

CELEBRATING TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, PIONEERING INNOVATIVE DESIGN
DESIGNING & PROTOTYPING
Every Kat van Duinen piece is created with
painstaking care, birthed from Kat’s illustrations
and imagination, then simulated, adapted
and perfected. This development stage can
take months, with every aspect of a design
rigorously considered and tested.
PATTERN MAKING
Once a prototype meets Kat van Duinen
standards, a pattern is cut. Even intricate
details such as zip pullers receive a specialised
pattern, meticulously measured and coded.
SKIN SELECTION
Prior to creation, each style is carefully matched
to a perfectly suited skin. The unique rigidity,
size, thickness, pattern and aesthetic all make a
skin complementary to a specific product style.
Utmost care and time is devoted to sourcing
the ideal hide for every piece created.
72
katvanduinen.com 73
74
CUTTING
A master craftsman is tasked with the
scrupulous role of cutting a skin according
to a style’s pattern. Great skill and years of
experience are required to place the puzzle
parts of a pattern onto a hide, ensuring
only the unblemished areas of the skin
are utilised. For larger styles where more
than one hide is required, the craftsman
undertakes the even more exacting task of
matching two different skins to produce a
single, unified piece. The product’s lining
is also cut and accurately matched to each
corresponding external leather section.
SKIVING
The inner layer of genuine leather,
especially ostrich, can have a fluffy, soft
texture that sheds easily. The back of
leather sections must therefore be skived
(scraped) before they can be attached to
their lining – a laborious process completed
by hand so the craftsman can intuit the
depth and pressure to be applied in order
to avoid skiving the skin too thinly.
EMBOSSING
Sections of leather are cut for embossing,
placed under a heated stamp and gently
pressed by hand. The embossing paper
is carefully peeled away to reveal the
pearlescent shapes created, and
embossed pieces are set aside to cool.
AFFIXING THE LINING &
INTERNAL FEATURES
Details such as locks, clasps and external
metallic logo plates are applied and secured
between the lining and external skin.
The lining is glued to each corresponding
section of leather, ready for assembly.
At this stage, any features on the inside
of a style must be constructed, including
affixing embossed leather sections, zips
and pouches, and adding hardware like our
signature metallic Africa symbol, which is
hammered into place by hand.

78
STAINING
The edges of every section of a piece are
sealed by hand with a stain painted onto the
rims and corners of the leather. This first layer is
sanded back and the process repeated until a
strong, smooth, incredibly fine edge is formed.
ASSEMBLY
Each section is beautifully sewn together to
assemble a piece. Handles are connected,
piping added, gussets joined, and the sublime
architecture of the style takes shape.
FINAL TOUCHES
The Kat van Duinen swingtag is gently attached,
and the leather and metallic hardware are
carefully polished, ready for its new owner.

ONLY THE BEST MATERIALS
Derived from and inspired by nature, Kat van Duinen accessories are crafted from
genuine leather and exotic skins.
114
1 Ostrich LeatherThe striking raised points that give ostrich leather its unique texture are the easiest way to identify the skin from its exotic counterparts. The delicate bumps – covering only a third of the whole hide – are the quill follicles and form the ‘crown’ of the skin. For some styles you have the option to choose between the prestigious Full Quill (quill follicles cover entire piece) and Half Quill (a blend of skin and quills presents a striking pattern). It is this rich, raised texture, the skin’s incredible durability, as well as the intricate process of producing this skin, which make ostrich leather luxurious.
2 Python SkinAlluring, provocative: there is something undeniably seductive about snakeskin. Striking yet sophisticated, each skin offers its own unique motif of scales to give an elegant, iconic finish. Deriving its luxury status from the expertise required to rear pythons, its lightweight, long-lasting nature, the rarity of sizeable, unblemished hides and the manufacturing and tanning skill required, python skin has come to symbolise fabulously decadent style. Kat van Duinen uses Burmese Python, one of the largest snake species in the world.
3 Crocodile LeatherThe intricate grooves and scales of crocodile skin are one of nature’s most breathtaking patterns – a rich, tactile texture. The soft, elaborate area of the belly is most covetable and is, of course, the primary section of hide utilised by Kat van Duinen. Kat van Duinen works with Nile crocodile, native to sub-Saharan Africa. Breeding and rearing crocodiles is complicated and costly, and the production process is done by hand to preserve quality. Add in the durability of the skin and its exquisite beauty, and you can appreciate why crocodile leather holds such value and desirability.On some styles, two finishes are available: Crocodile Safari and Crocodile Classic.
KAT VAN DUINEN SOURCES AAA-GRADE LEATHER ONLY FROM AUTHORISED FARMS WHERE BREEDERS ARE CITES-COMPLIANT, ENSURING ETHICAL CONDITIONS AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE. KAT VAN DUINEN IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE HUMANE PRODUCTION OF EXOTIC LEATHER, WHICH FORMS AN INVALUABLE PART OF SOUTH AFRICA’S ECONOMY.
4 Napa LeatherPerhaps the most recognisable type of hide in the manufacturing of leather goods, Napa is typically derived from calf or lamb and is noticeably soft and flexible. Since farming for Napa leather is considerably less complicated than that of exotics, Napa is a cost-effective option while still feeling premium and luxurious.
Our LiningsAll accessories are lined with goat’s suede unless otherwise stated. Some styles can be lined with 100% cotton, African-print textile. This printed fabric can be selected once your order has been confirmed.
What Is CITES?CITES is an international treaty drawn up to protect wildlife against over-exploitation, as well as to safeguard endangered species. CITES certification is legally required to export and import certain species of animals, including python and crocodile. This process involves verifying the source of origin of hides and ensuring wild populations remain protected. Kat van Duinen complies with CITES regulations wholeheartedly.

On some styles, two finishes are available: Crocodile Safari and Crocodile Classic. Crocodile Safari has a matte appearance and is softer and more pliable. Crocodile Classic is lacquered with a gloss to give a high-shine effect, making it more rigid. Due to this rigidity, some styles cannot be created in Crocodile Classic.
