The Klooftique Story

For many years, the historic 87 Kloof street Heritage building served as a factory and retail space, and has since become a prominent feature in the beloved Kloof street, right in the heart of Cape Town. Since its humble beginnings, Klooftique has become one of South Africa’s most beloved brands. Producing heirloom furniture of the finest quality – expertly hand-crafted in our factory in Paarden Eiland, while trading from the original premises in Kloof Street.

Why Klooftique
+ - Locally Made
All our furniture is made locally in our own factory. Klooftique is committed to the presentation of designs that are individual, soulful and sometimes playful. The range of furniture and home accessories are an electric mix of functional, yet complimentary furnishings.
+ - Wide Selection of Top Quality Leather
The utmost care goes into the selection of the leathers and hides used by Klooftique. Only the finest hides on offer are selected from suppliers both locally and internationally. Please note that South African leather is in no way inferior to imported leather. Klooftique uses only Top or Full Grain leather. This type of leather comes from the uppermost layer of the hide, making it the most durable and beautiful. This is the most genuine type of leather, as it retains all of the texture and markings of the original hide.
Here are a list of our leather options that you can choose from when dreaming up your perfect leather couch. From charcoal grey to mocha brown to classic white, Klooftique has a number of colours and styles to suit your interior design needs.
LEATHER OPTIONS:
- Aniline Leather
- Semi-Aniline Leather
- Oilskin Pull-up
