With roots reaching back nearly a century, our journey is a story of passion, dedication, and a commitment to delivering elegance that endures.
Established more than a century ago, Pudney Leather Hats and Crafts began as a testament to the passion for craftsmanship and the rich heritage of South Africa. Founded in Port Elizabeth, our journey has been marked by key milestones, including a royal acknowledgement from Queen Elizabeth in 1947, where we were fortunate to not only make her a fur coat as a gift but also received a letter from her. These moments have become integral chapters in our story, shaping our commitment to excellence and authenticity.
At Pudney Leather Hats and Crafts, our mission is to bring the heart of South Africa to the world through meticulously crafted leather products. Rooted in a legacy that spans almost a century, we are dedicated to providing unparalleled quality and service to our customers, fostering lasting connections with our resellers, and contributing to the preservation and appreciation of South African culture.
