Our Story

It all started with a dad who let his boy bunk school one day. Theirs is a love affair for leather and stitch and cedar chips piled underneath the planer. So that morning they ran their hands over leather hides and stuck their noses into offcuts in the leather shop, and thought up an excuse to buy sharp tools. 

One year later, KT Leather is now a full family-run business. Somewhere in the design-to-market process, all five of our clan have helped to stitch and market the high quality, 100% leather, custom-crafted wallets you see today. Each design has been tried, tested and tweaked over time, so that today we can offer you a product that marries style with simplicity, form with functionality.

In addition, a portion of profit from each KT Leather wallet goes towards the education of underprivileged children, starting with our little Katie in Zimbabwe for whom the business is named.

This one pocket fold is our most minimalistic wallet. Its high quality, durable leather ensures the wallet only gets better with time. But alongside a no-nonsense functionality is an attractive finish, rounded off by sleek lines and cool, curvy stitching. It's simple, but in a really lekker way.

The Duo is one of our most popular designs. Clients say it gives them the functionality they need, the snug and compact size their back pockets are looking for, and a quality that is uncompromising. Honest and uncomplicated - nice.

The Slyde

This is KT Leather's very first design. It's incredibly functional, thanks to the insert on back and front, which allows your thumb to easily slide those stubborn cards out. The middle pouch will also hold your cash snug and safe.

I have been using my KT leather wallet for 6months now and I am loving it. You know it's genuine leather because the older it gets, the lovelier it looks. Impeccable piece of work, great stitching and all round excellent craftsmanship. I will recommend this to anyone looking for a cool, well produced and durable leather wallet.

Sias Esterhuizen (Pretoria, RSA)

I received one of the very first KTLeather minimalist wallets last year. I absolutely love it! It was the nudge that I needed to live more minimalist. I immediately converted to it for my daily use, and I will never go back to a big clunky wallet full of cards that I never use.
I'm looking forward to the new innovations that come out of this great business!

My KT leather wallet is well made and practical. It’s simplistic design is really ergonomical and understated yet super convenient and hides away in my pocket.

I like that it isn’t a giant hunk of leather but rather a sleek shape and just enough to meet all my needs.
