About the brand“We must re-establish pride in skills that are not only worth preserving but help the planet. I am passionate about objects made by human hands. A product is a luxe when it is handmade, tailored for a few. Because today luxury involves exclusiveness - and not because it is addressed to few people, but because it's special instead,” Kat says. Confident, sophisticated, unapologetically stylish: these embody the Kat van Duinen client.
Striking shapes, resplendent fabrics, and luxurious leathers, with impeccable details and precise tailoring, are what you can expect within the exclusive ranges of Kat van Duinen. Her signature sustainable exotic leather pieces, as well as ready-to-wear collections, are underpinned by a minimalistic aesthetic and accented by a vibrant African spirit. The brand is proudly South African at heart and guided by a commitment to nurturing local artisans and industry, as well as to source materials from within the rich, eclectic country – from genuine exotic leathers to natural-fiber textiles. The atelier’s confident style and timeless approach have garnered a loyal clientele who understand the value of investment pieces, and who consider the provenance and purpose of each item in their wardrobe, curating a collection of consciously chosen items.
