Brought to you by Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu, the globally recognized founder of soleRebels

It’s no secret that I love leather. After all I have spent the past several years creating the planet’s fastest growing African originated global footwear brand - soleRebels.

My love for leather has grown since I became inspired to create something that reached new heights of excitement, The Republic of Leather!

I saw that the luxury market was ripe for a total re-imagining. To me there was not only a great opportunity to leverage technology and craftsmanship to create the most amazing products; there was also a need for a fresh interpretation of what luxury was and - most importantly - what luxury could be: a narrative that could continually invigorate and excite people.
