About us
Pure Hide was born from a love for quality leather and honest craftsmanship.
We believe leather goods should be both beautiful and functional — pieces that age gracefully and tell a story over time. Using genuine cow hides, we create products that are durable, practical, and intentionally designed to stand the test of time.
Proudly South African, our work reflects the strength, character, and natural beauty of our country. Every item is thoughtfully made, paying attention to detail and respecting the raw integrity of the hide.
At Pure Hide, we don’t follow trends — we create timeless leather goods meant to be used, loved, and lived with.
the team behind purehide
Pure Hide is run by André and Elaine Brenkman — a husband-and-wife duo united by a shared passion for excellent quality leather goods.
Working side by side, we combine craftsmanship, creativity, and care to produce leather products that are thoughtfully made and built to last. For us, it’s not just about creating beautiful items, but about honouring the process, the material, and the people who will use them.
Every Pure Hide product reflects our hands-on approach, attention to detail, and commitment to timeless quality.
