Rivers and Gills

Rivers and Gills is a small, proudly Zambian business creating bespoke safari and fishing leather goods, all handmade with care and attention to detail. Each piece reflects the beauty of the wild and is built to last through years of adventures – whether on safari, by the river, or in everyday life.

The idea began as a special gift for my Dad. From that first piece, the passion for crafting meaningful, timeless items grew into something bigger – a way to share the artistry and heritage of Zambian leatherwork with others.

At Rivers and Gills, we believe that handmade goods carry a story. Our products are not just items of use, but keepsakes – reminders of the journeys we take, the places we love, and the people we hold dear.
