What Our Clients Say About Us
What an amazing product, created and backed up by the most amazing team. My A5 Leather Notebook Cover is absolutely exquisite, personal and unique. Workmanship is professional and super top-notch. Unbelievable really. You will not buy anything better than this. I have to keep myself off the website to not snap everything up. Two weeks later and still blown away. Thank you VERY MUCH Jared and team!!
I ordered myself a leather portfolio cover and I am thrilled with the product. It is perfect for working on the go. Enough space for the essentials and my laptop (MacBook pro 13inch) it all fits perfectly and it was customised. Great quality. Great service. I would definitely recommend their products.
I purchased the explorer range A4 folder. Fits a A4 exam pad, a A5 pad, my business cards and 3 pens as well as my iPad Pro with a keyboard! Top quality product. Extremely well made and the customer service is exceptional. Would highly recommend!
Such a wonderful experience working with these guys. Excellent communication and great service, not to mention the beautiful padfolio that was customized to fit a larger laptop! HIGHLY recommend them!
We received our order timeously and the Managing Director was very happy. The Great Break team assisted us from the beginning, kept us updated with the production of our order until delivery. We appreciate your prompt service and quality product. Highly recommended.
I recently visited The Great Break, a leather store, and had an incredible shopping experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the quality and diversity of their leather products, which ranged from, wallets, and belts to more unique items like handmade journals and bags. The leather itself felt premium, and the store had a distinct, rich scent that only comes with genuine, well-crafted leather goods. Honestly one of the best leather stores in the whole of Southern Africa. Run by a man that looks 10 years younger than he claims to be, and muscles that could be compared to the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, I couldn’t recommend a better place if you are in need of a leather item to satisfy your needs.
