Kat van Duinen

After relocating to Cape Town, designer Kat van Duinen’s passion for effortless elegance saw the birth of her eponymous label in Cape Town in 2010, which has since grown to become an iconic fusion of her European heritage and love for the richness of South Africa – a place she now calls home.

What began solely as a luxury leather brand quickly grew into a Leather and Fashion House that evolved to offer ready-to-wear garment collections as well as couture to private clients.

Since launching, Kat van Duinen has established itself as a luxury label known for its signature exotic leather pieces, as well as ready-to-wear collections, underpinned by a minimalistic aesthetic, and accented by vibrant African design and contemporary art influences.

At its heart, the brand is proudly South African, guided by a commitment to nurture local artisans and the South African Fashion industry, as well as to source materials, whenever possible, from within this rich, eclectic country.

Closely intertwined lies the label’s faithfulness to authentic media, guaranteeing the ultimate quality of both: materials and finishes – from genuine exotic leathers, to natural-fibre textiles.

Refined and sophisticated with a striking edge and a luxurious spirit, Kat van Duinen offers exquisite craftsmanship, premium materials and timeless design.
