Springbok Leather Collection

Our springbok leather collection is uniquely South African. Each piece combines genuine springbok hide — sourced ethically from regulated conservation programmes — with our signature full-grain vegetable-tanned leather. The result is a bag with striking natural texture that you simply cannot get anywhere else in the world.

Springbok hide is naturally durable, lightweight, and has a distinctive spotted pattern that varies from animal to animal, making every bag one of a kind. We pair it with our Cape Town-crafted leather to create backpacks, crossbody bags, and shoulder handbags that celebrate South African heritage and craftsmanship.

These are statement pieces — popular as gifts and with international collectors of South African design. Prices range from R1,380 to R2,480, with free worldwide shipping.

Springbok Leather FAQs

Where does the springbok leather come from?

Our springbok leather is sourced from regulated conservation and population management programmes in South Africa. The springbok is not endangered \u2014 it\u2019s actually one of the most abundant antelope species in Southern Africa. The hides are a by-product of sustainable wildlife management, and using them in our products ensures nothing goes to waste.

Is every springbok bag unique?

Yes. Springbok hide has a natural spotted pattern that varies from animal to animal. No two hides are identical, which means no two bags are identical. The pattern, colour, and texture will be slightly different on every piece \u2014 that\u2019s part of what makes these bags so special and collectible.

How do I care for springbok leather?

Springbok leather is naturally durable and requires minimal care. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid getting the springbok panels excessively wet. For the full-grain leather sections of the bag, apply leather conditioner once or twice a year. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the natural colour of the springbok hide.

Can springbok bags be shipped internationally?

Yes. Springbok leather products are legal to export from South Africa and import into most countries. We ship worldwide via FedEx and DHL through our logistics partner JLog. If you have specific concerns about import regulations in your country, contact us at hello@groundleather.co.za and we\u2019ll advise.
