The Khaya weekender in oil-waxed bushveld hide

A weekender built to outlive its owner. Gold fittings, reinforced base, and a leather tag stamped with the hide's origin register.

Built for the long road back. Oil-waxed hide that takes a scar and keeps it, a reinforced base that can be set down on gravel, and a gold zip track that will still run in thirty years. Scuffs are not damage here — they are the record of where it has been.

All MBALI hardware — seals, chains, rings, buckles and feet — is cast in solid brass and finished in 24-carat gold. Africa is where gold comes from; we see no reason to hide it in silver.
