Woodstock Exchange — Restaurant in Woodstock

Stepping into this #CreativeLab for a #LeatherExperience with Wahieb Abrahams is like entering a sacred space where heritage, skill, and soul come together.

Wahieb is not just a leather artisan, he's a leather whisperer whose late father Abdullah, taught Wahieb this fine artistry Watching him guide your hands with care, patience, and humour as you craft something from raw hide into a masterpiece is pure magic. I made my own leather handbag under his very gentle and kind mentorship, and I still can’t believe I did it myself!

More than just crafting, it was deeply therapeutic. The sound of tools, the smell of leather, the flow of stitching… it slows you down and brings you into your body. Wahieb holds such a warm, grounded energy, he’s a true teacher and Cape Town treasure - a man of soul!

I left with a stunning bag and a sense of pride and peace I hadn’t felt in ages.

Whether you’re a total beginner or just want to reconnect with your creativity, this is the place. And Wahieb is your man. Craftovus is Cape Towns best kept secret!

Today I was mugged in the road on the side of this building. Their security in the side roads is non existent even though this is a crime hot spot. To tourists I would say stay away. Until the owners take responsibility for security this building should be shut down as a tourist...

Really cool vibe and super friendly. George welcomed me with open arms and also a lady behind the kitchen invited me to have a look arround. Coffee is great and I will...
