Build A Bag
Your Bag, Your Way — And We're Not Done Yet!
The fun doesn't stop once you've built your bag!
We're busy working on extra parts, new options and more ways to personalise your Build A Bag.
Think different colours, interchangeable pieces, new accessories and little extras that let you change your bag to match your outfit, your mood — or simply because you feel like something different.
More options are coming soon!
So if you've already built your bag, keep an eye out. And if you haven't… maybe it's time to start designing yours.
Our story
Authenticity, precision, longevity
Plaasjaap is a celebration of South African rural pride — genuine handmade leather goods and durable finishes rooted in the Lowveld. Every stitch is built for real use, not just the photograph.
