Leather & suede

Tailor Cape Town is one of the very few tailors who have the expertise, experience and specialist equipment to work with leather and suede. Properly cared for, leather and suede can last a lifetime and be passed down to the next generation. Leather, with its dizzying fragrance; whether it be supple calfskin, buffalo hide, kid, ostrich, fetishistic nubuck, softest suede or scuffed and character-worn rawhide …

We also work with latex, and have constructed some outfits so sexy they never leave the bedroom, as well as creations that have the flash bulbs popping and the paparazzi hopping.
