Introducing Bob’s Brassware (Kenya)

[Bobs Brassware]

Hello Leatherworkers,

Some of you might remember me from Origibelts, where I used to make handmade leather belts. As I looked to expand my product offerings, I realized Origibelts was too limiting — I wanted to create more than just belts. So, I began hand-casting my own brass buckles and fittings. What started as a way to meet my own needs quickly grew into Bob’s Brassware — a line of hand-cast, solid brass hardware made in small batches here in Nairobi, Kenya.

Each piece is poured, finished, and polished locally using traditional sand-casting methods — designed for makers like you who appreciate quality and craftsmanship.

To celebrate our launch, all pre-orders will come with a small gift of Kenyan coffee — roasted locally as a way to share a taste of the country where your hardware is made. ☕🌍

You can check out the full range at bobsbrassware.com. If you have any thoughts, suggestions, or hardware requests, I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for taking the time to read — I’m looking forward to connecting with you all.

— John

Welcome again and good luck with this venture.

I looked at the website and I'm wondering if it's correct that shipping is free?  I threw a couple things in the cart and it says Free Shipping, unless I just didn't go far enough.

Thanks, AlZilla — really appreciate the warm welcome!

 

Yes, that’s correct — we’re working with a micro-fulfilment partner in the U.S. who helps us consolidate shipments from Kenya and distribute them locally. That setup lets us offer free domestic shipping (and a small bag of medium-roast Kenyan coffee ☕) to U.S. customers who place pre-orders before November 30th.

 

All orders are tracked and protected through PayPal Buyer Protection.

 

Thanks again for checking out the site and for the kind words!
