COMPANY OVERVIEW
Melvill & Moon is South Africa’s ‘retro Safari brand’. We manufacture high end Safari luggage, canvas Seat Covers, Campaign Furniture and Safari accessories.
Everything we make is under our own brand name – apart from the work we are delighted to do for James Purdey & Son , South Audley St, London.
FAMILY BEHIND THE BRAND
WHAT WE DO
We manufacture a broad range of high-end handmade safari luggage, campaign furniture, canvas and leather safari accessories and safari-style seat covers which are made from 100% old-fashioned cotton canvas. The combination of our signature heavy-duty canvas combined with leather represents the heart and soul of the safari era that the company’s products evoke.
BACK STORY OF THE FAMILY BUSINESS
Melvill & Moon is family run and owned. We are backed by an African heritage that goes back 8 generations. We arrived in the late 1700s and we’ve never left. We’ve been missionaries, cattle ranchers, land surveyors, lawyers and more. But if there’s a link that runs through all of us it’s a love of Africa and a passion for Safari.
LAUDATOR TEMPORIS ACTI
‘The romance of an age gone by’ is more than a motto. It is the guiding compass for everything we do. Where our passion lies is in the classic and the retro – and the design and manufacturing qualities of a time when things were made to last forever.
