Every Lily is handmade by our artisans in our own youth empowerment workshop in Waltloo, Pretoria, using leather tanned right here in South Africa. It’s compact, but it holds more than you’d think: a zipped main compartment, an inside zipped vanity pocket and an easy access back pocket, all fully lined with premium cotton twill. The premium YKK zips and sliders and the magnetic clip keep everything safely closed, and the sling is adjustable and removable. Our customers love the quality and the size, and it makes a lovely gift too.
It’s real leather, so it comes with a bit of character. No two hides are the same, so your Lily might look a touch different from our photos, and it’ll darken and change a little the more you carry it. That’s just leather being leather. Our Leather Care Guide has a few easy tips to keep it looking its best.
Delivery is free anywhere in South Africa. All orders are processed within 2 business days and shipped within 2-5 business days through South Africa’s top courier companies. Parcels arrive between 8am and 5pm, so a daytime address works best. We can’t deliver to PO boxes, but we can deliver to Pudo or other lockers for convenience (contact us for options).
Every Lily comes with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing faults, so if a zip or seam gives you any trouble, we’ve got you covered.
Local is lekker. Every Lily you buy supports a workshop that trains and employs young South African artisans.

This is my fourth purchase. Absolutely LOVE all your bags. My last purchase, Lilly clutch, is also stunning. My only feedback would be to neaten up or remove the logo patch on the front, I find it spoils the bag. It was a gift & the birthday girl absolutely loved it.
