Our Story
Rift Valley Leather was incorporated 11th March 2009.The company develops and manufactures the highest quality leather and canvas products, including a wide variety of travel bags, male and female bags, office bags and hotel/restaurant and corporate products and an innovative range of accessories.
We also manufacture bespoke leather and fabric apparel.
All our principal materials, including camel and cowhide, are exclusively sourced from within East Africa – we currently use 5 different Kenyan tanneries. Fabric is sourced locally and waxed, resin printed fabric from West Africa.
Our aim is to promote not only the pedigree of locally available materials but to cultivate the indigenous handcrafting skills of a very talented labour force.We operate a continuous training programme, conducted by Robert our designer and master craftsman (who has extensive international training experience), the training will enhance existing skills and introduce new techniques to the work force.
Rift actively to promotes and assists disadvantaged groups.We are currently producing canvas pencil cases for two local orphanages.
Our ultimate aim is to launch the company on the international stage as a genuine African design house which can legitimately compete with prestigious household names.
