This Athena handbag is crafted from carefully selected furniture leather that is produced by a leading furniture tannery in South Africa and is therefore made to last.
All orders are processed within 48 hours and shipped within 7 business days. All shipping is done through South Africa’s top courier companies, please provide a daytime shipping address as shipments arrive between 8 am-5 pm. No shipping is done to Post boxes.
Due to every hide being different patterns and colours may vary. Please note that leather is a natural material and no two hides are alike. We use aniline leather which has minimal surface treatment and as such ‘imperfections’ like scars, insect bites, and scratches from the animal’s life are occasionally visible. These make your bag unique and serve to remind us of the very real and natural origin of the material.

I’ve been holding onto this for about a month, waiting for my mom’s birthday. She’s always wanted a genuine leather bag but, as mothers often do, wouldn’t buy it for herself. So finally I can review based on my mother’s experience.
The quality here is top-notch. Leather is a good thickness but also has a lot of softness. It feels like it’ll hold up for a long time. The stitching is perfect with not a stitch out of place. The handles have a nice thickness to them, and my mother found it comfortable to wear on her shoulder. The strap is a good width, so it’s neither too wide nor too narrow as to be uncomfortable. The bag itself is the perfect size for her. It’s big enough to put everything she needs inside but still enough free space, so it’s never packed. The lining is really nice quality. With a reassuring thickness and a soft, luxurious touch.
All zips are high quality and move smoothly and with ease. The outer and inner zipped pockets have ample space. She was very happy to discover the 2 pouches inside which allow for some very nice compartmentalisation.
To quote my mother “this is the best handbag I’ve ever owned”. It’s already her prized possession and has its own shelf in her cupboard. It was nice to see her joyfully packing stuff into it.
A truly excellent product at a reasonable price.

If I could give more stars I would! I’m blown away with the quality. It’s exactly the leather bag I’ve been searching for. I received it as a very early Christmas present from my mom and I love it so much! My boyfriend has a satchel from you as well and loves it. I can’t wait to take it over to the UK with me 🥰

Love my chestnut athena bag – excellent quality
Been looking for a good quality leather bag – found my supplier – already have my eyes on crossbody bag

I have always used a sling / crossbody bag because like to have my hands free. Since having a baby I wanted to upgrade to a bigger size and all the crossbody bags I looked at were either too small or too expensive. The Athena handbag is just the right size and it has an adjustable crossbody strap! It’s fully lined and has the perfect amount of closed and open inside pockets. This is my 4th Maribu product purchase and it arrived in 2 days from PTE to KZN! I love the craftsmanship, quality and customer service. And their prices are unbeatable!! 5/5 stars. Thank you Maribu Leather!
