Aulrine Leather & Engraving
Born from a leap of faith and a love for authenticity, Aulrine Leather & Engraving has become a home for locally handmade leather goods and custom engravings. Every item is chosen for its craftsmanship and character, reflecting not only the artistry of Plett’s makers but also the resilience and spirit of the family behind the shop. It’s more than leather — it’s a story stitched into every piece
Our Journey
The journey of Aulrine Leather & Engraving began with a move, a vision, and a leap of faith. After relocating from Piet Retief to Plettenberg Bay, we wanted to build something of our own — a business rooted in quality, authenticity, and the spirit of local craft. Leatherwork called to us not only for its durability and timelessness, but for the way it carries stories across generations. From there, Aulrine Leather & Engraving was born.
We source our products from skilled local artisans who share our love for genuine, handmade leather. Each item — from bags and belts to unique keepsakes — is chosen for its craftsmanship and character. With the addition of custom engraving, we are able to offer our customers something truly personal, a piece that reflects both tradition and individuality.
Behind the shop is a family story of resilience, faith, and determination. Life has brought its share of challenges, but those experiences shaped the values we bring into our work every day: strength, patience, and an appreciation for the beauty in things made by hand. Aulrine Leather & Engraving is more than a store — it’s a reflection of our journey, and a celebration of the artisans who make Plettenberg Bay’s craft community so special.
