It needs repair work and I would like to obtain some riempies. Any ideas where I could buy some please? The leather in England really isn't thick enough because the cattle are killed so young.

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.

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.
