Premium Collection

The Ribbons Collection Premium Collection represents the very best of our handmade leather shoemaking — genuine leather shoes South Africa’s most discerning wearers choose when only the finest will do. Each pair uses rare finishes and treatments beyond our standard range: hand-applied museum calf patinas, box calf leathers, and detailing usually reserved for bespoke European workshops, all crafted in our Bloemfontein atelier by our most experienced artisans.
This is where our craft is pushed furthest: whole-cut uppers with no visible seams, hand-burnished patina finishes that shift colour in the light, and full brogue detailing cut and punched by hand. Every premium pair is made to order, so production takes a little longer — but the result is a shoe built to be worn for a decade or more, and to age more beautifully with every year. If you’re marking an occasion, dressing for the boardroom’s top floor, or simply want the best pair of leather shoes South Africa’s artisans can make, this is the collection.
