Sometimes we forget how simple things work. You are welcome to let me have something I can post on the site. That would be a start and we could always pack and post a neatly wrapped parcel. Thx.

Brought them with me in 1961. I had a friend in George, Cape, send me some riempies in the mail and had no trouble with picking it up at the post office. Over the years I have replaced them myself, having leant how as a kid of 6. It is very easy to do and should anyone want to know how, they can email me. Easy, a kid of 6 can do it. No problem. And it is fun... I have had two Paul Kruger riempies armchairs for the 49 years that I have lived in the US. Brought them with me in 1961.

I bought lengths of leather to fix all our 8 South African Chairs - the leather is white alum tan, exactly the same as original riempie on chairs! By the way, I have 6 South African chairs of a similar style to the dining table set that I would like to sell. Anyone interested please contact Patty 0422 933 993 and make an offer. I am about to put them on ebay but would prefer to sell to someone who knows what they worth. Rare timbers and craftsmanship = South African furniture!

I was looking for another site I once saw about someone who also makes whips but in the Cape. However I reckon Marico is as good a place as any to start asking questions about the ins and outs of riempe and leather work. The problems I foresee are at Customs in the States.

Can you not get someone to do it for you locally. I am sure anyone who crafts and works with leather could do a fix. But let me ask around. I might be wrong.
