Aard Studio

Aard Studio is a leatherwork studio specialising in grounding barefoot shoes and bespoke leather-bound travellers journals. All items are handmade, with sustainability and quality in mind. Minimal machines or toxic glues are used in production, shoes are hand-stitched and journals are hand-bound. As far as possible, upcycled leather is utilised, and booklets are bound using Certifi ed Forest-Safe paper, 5% of profi ts are donated to Greenpop to aid reforestation efforts in the Western Cape.

Our small female-led team operates out of Noordhoek, Cape Town. If you are interested in buying a pair of soft, fl exible barefoot shoes, or creating a fully customised leather journal, you can order online or visit us at our shop at Imhoff Farm.
