A BIT ABOUT US
At ROWDY, we believe in craftsmanship and conscious consumption.
Set up 12 years ago in South Africa and now established in Bath (UK), ROWDY blends South African roots with British influence to create sustainable, handcrafted leather bags and accessories.
As a family-run company, we stand by three core values: quality, integrity, and sustainability. Each design embodies our dedication to slow fashion, creating products built to last. Our "repair for life" promise on every ROWDY bag reinforces this commitment to timeless style and durability.
Every ROWDY bag is handmade in our Cape Town workshop using premium-grade Namibian leather, with each stitch showcasing the skill of our talented artisans, preserving traditional craftsmanship and supporting local communities.
When you choose ROWDY, you’re investing in more than a product—you’re embracing sustainability and supporting artisanal craftsmanship for future generations.
Ethical Human Resources
Our artisans are the magic makers, working in fair conditions and crafting with passion—because happy hands create fabulous bags.
Enduring Style
Shunning fast and high fashion trends, our designs are timeless, blending functionality, durability and elegance.
Sustainable Leathers
Why let good hides go to waste? We transform the leftovers of the free-rage beef industry into stunning ethical leather handbags and accessories, supporting our ‘leave no further impact’ philosophy.
Sustainable Leathers
We use high-welfare, sustainable aniline and nubuck leather sourced from our specialist tannery in Namibia.
