Our leather bags are made from locally and ethically sourced genuine leather and suede linings, handpicked by Marissa herself. In our signature series, we import Italian buckles and in our sustainable ranges, we source 100% cotton linings and buckles locally or have them made in South Africa.
Our passion is to support local trade and manufacturing, with our factory based in the mother city, Cape Town. Our packaging is sustainable and re-usable!
Mazee couples handbag design with optional graphic design and vector details exclusively created for each of the cut-out details introduced into customizable templates that clients can follow. Trend forecasting followed by skilled design specifications of each handbag style, pattern making, sewing of panels seen in intricate topstitching techniques and high-quality manufacturing methods used, all add to the value of a Mazee handbag. These steps coupled with using only the highest quality and industry leaders in leathers, threads, fabrics, trims and linings, which are all sourced by Mazee, guarantee a high-quality end product to satisfy customers wants and needs.
Attention to detail is what the brand is all about. The finishing touches of innovative branding, packaging and advertising all result in a stand-out Mazee handbag that a client can count on to make them feel special.
