About JackalBerry
Established in 2013, JackalBerry was born out of a desire to offer affordable, authentic, and handcrafted leather goods to the South African market.
Our journey began when our owner and founder embarked on a quest to find a customisable leather handbag, only to discover a gap in the market. Determined to fill this void, she took matters into her own hands and crafted her own bespoke bag. The overwhelming positive response from friends and family led to the inception of JackalBerry, where customised orders soon became the norm (long before it became popular).
Today, we invite you to join our ever-growing family of leather enthusiasts. With a commitment to supporting local craftsmanship, all our materials are sourced locally, and our products are meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Johannesburg.
Embrace the JackalBerry experience and become part of a community dedicated to quality, authenticity, and South African craftsmanship.


Why we don't brand our bags
At JackalBerry, we celebrate individuality.
You’ll find that our bags don’t boast flashy logos. That’s because we believe in collaborating with each customer to create a bag that truly reflects your personality. With JackalBerry, you are the brand.
If there’s anything about your bag that doesn’t quite suit your style, let us know. And if you adore your custom creation as much as we do, spread the word and share the love!
We are a proudly South African brand that uses local materials and supports local artisans. By supporting us you are supporting and helping small South African businesses to grow.
