If there is one thing available in abundance in Namibia it definitely is good-quality leather. It comes in a variety of textures and colours from ebony calf skin to bronze Kudu. Skilled crafters at workshops around the country transform this natural product into wonderful fashion accessories and luxurious cases for our beloved Mac Books and iPhones. Alas, well-designed items are a rare find in the capital's leather boutiques and for the most part kitsch still seems to prevail. But don't despair. Most shops are happy to assist with custom-made pieces tailored to your liking, a prohibitively expensive endeavour elsewhere in the world. Put your design ideas to paper and get yourself that leather weekender you've always wanted. And don't forget a set of simple folders for your creative projects. You'll see your colleagues green with envy. So be kind and bring some for them, too.
