Introducing Cape Cobra

Step into the world of Cape Cobra, where African luxury meets heritage craftsmanship. Born in vibrant Cape Town, this third-generation business brings decades of unparalleled leather handcrafting experience to the global stage.

Every piece is a testament to the skill of artisans at their Woodstock atelier, where time-honored traditions blend seamlessly with innovation and artistry. From the carefully selected South African raw materials to the meticulous hand-finishing, each item tells a story of ethical luxury, generational expertise, and a commitment to beauty with purpose.

Cape Cobra had long been a quiet force crafting pieces for some of the world's most iconic luxury brands including Tiffany's, Ralph Lauren, Marchesa, and Reed Krakoff, but now under its third-generation ownership including its forward-thinking creative director Justine Schäfer, the company is offering their own exquisite collection directly to the discerning consumer.

We are so honored to present the Cape Cobra Spring/Summer '25 collection here at Hartford House, which we celebrated with a debut trunk show (our first!) at our store in St. Helena. We custom order our Cape Cobra pieces, so if you are in town, stop by and share your dream vision with us.
