Hand-crafted Bags
& Lifestyle Accessories

Madala Bags creates hand made bags, luggage, picnic blankets and lifestyle accessories in our small artisan workshop in Hermanus, South Africa.

All our products combine design and functionality, and are built to last using locally sourced high quality fabrics, zips and components.

We are a small team, passionate about creating bags that mean something to someone – the inspiration to travel, feeling good about buying local, the love of style and the joy of functionality.
