Aldo Kleyn Leather Designs
Thesen Island, Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa
Aldo Kleyn hand-cuts and stitches exotic-skin handbags, belts and wallets, building on techniques he began developing as a teenager in a small Johannesburg shop before running a store in New York. His Thesen Island flagship, opened in 2010, is known for reworking crocodile leather into wearable designs rather than traditional accessories alone.
