About
Handcrafted Heritage, Timeless Leather
Since 2005
our story
From a Small Workshopto a Global Brand
King Kong Leather was born in 2005 in a small Woodstock, Cape Town workshop, where John Ebako and his team of artisans began crafting premium leather goods.
John’s journey started in Cameroon, where he first honed his skills making leather bags and hats. His passion led him to Cape Town, where he built a brand that now supplies global department stores, the film industry, and top fashion designers.
What began at local festivals and markets has grown into a renowned leather goods company, selling across online platforms like Takealot and through our showroom in Woodstock, Western Cape.
