Vintage Pearly Beach Shop Photo 1985
We spotted this photo of Pearly Beach Shop, dated 1985, and knew we had to share it!
Meet Mike Kemp, a skilled leather craftsman based in De Kelders, Gansbaai.
Over the years, Mike has built his reputation on true craftsmanship and attention to detail, using quality leather and hardware to create pieces that are both durable and beautifully finished. His range includes handcrafted belts, bags, aprons, and whips, all designed to last for years and age gracefully, as genuine leather should.
Mike also offers traditional Riempi restoration, along with a wide range of custom leatherwork.
As an added service, when a belt or bag needs saving rather than replacing, Mike can repair or restore it with care and precision that shows in the final result.
Contact Mike on 072 070 3055 (leave him a WhatsApp message, and he’ll get back to you).
