Our latest collaboration with Karoo Classics!

We are proud to unveil our latest collaboration with Karoo Classics — a partnership rooted in the shared values of timeless design and with uncompromising quality.

Crafted in our South African workshop, founded by master artisan Hanspeter Winklmayr, this exclusive collection reimagines modern elegance through the lens of artisanal integrity. Three new handbag silhouettes, crafted from premium ostrich leather, marry functionality with the quiet opulence that defines our ethos. Each piece meticulously produced, and lined with Italian sateen — part of the standards upheld in our wholly owned atelier.

Introducing the Sophia: 
The debut design, The Sophia, embodies our philosophy: understated style with practicality.

Crafted for Versatility: Adjustable straps (20–45cm) mean comfort throughout.
Thoughtful Capacity: Spacious enough for essentials, yet a compact silhouette (22cm x 12cm x 6cm).
Material: South African ostrich leather, celebrated for its unique quill patterns, .
Available in seven curated colours—from timeless nicotine and black to bold cyclamen and tangerine—the Sophia is designed not just to accessorise, but also endure.

Winklmayr has eschewed mass production, focusing instead on pieces that outlive trends. We have partnered up with Karoo Classics, a premier boutique retail destination for luxury leather goods. Located in the picturesque towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Karoo Classics offers a curated selection of exquisite ostrich and crocodile leather products complementing the elegance of Winklmayr Leathercraft.
