At Leo & Stripes, you can select a beautiful gift-wrapping option for our ostrich egg décor products.

Each gift from Leo & Stripes will arrive in our premium carton box with a red bow and can include an optional handwritten note.

Natural By-Product: Our ostrich eggs are organic by-products from the ostrich leather, feather and meat industries.

Ethically Sourced: The ostrich eggs come from certified breeders and local farms that practise good-farming ethics, ensuring no harm to animals.

Waste Reduction: We repurpose only infertile ostrich eggs that would otherwise end up in landfills, significantly reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Upcycled Egg Inners: The egg contents are upcycled into nutritious dog food, ensuring zero waste.

Local Production: By partnering with local artisans, we create meaningful job opportunities while reducing our carbon footprint through minimised transportation emissions.

Slow Fashion: Our elegant designs, combined with durable ostrich eggshells, create unique and long-lasting décor.

Giving Back: A portion of every sale goes towards supporting impactful charities and foundations in South Africa, driving positive change.

At Leo & Stripes, we have a strictly anti-poaching policy and do not participate in the trade of endangered animal species as classified by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). 

We celebrate Africa’s sustainable and indigenous materials such as natural by-products from the organic farming industry, natural by-products made available through government-approved herd reduction programmes, as well as discarded leather pieces from local manufacturers or fashion houses that would otherwise go to waste. 

All of our eco-friendly ostrich eggshells originate from certified breeders or local farms within the Klein Karoo region in South Africa. They engage in sustainable and good-farming practices to ensure the humane treatment of ostriches.  

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora is an international agreement at intergovernmental level. It is a treaty that prohibits the international trade of endangered animals and plants to protect their survival and safeguard against extinction.

A by-product is a secondary product that is derived or is created inadvertently during the manufacturing process of another (primary) product. 

Leo & Stripes only uses eco-friendly ostrich eggshells that would otherwise be discarded due to natural causes, such as infertility and/or exotic leathers made available through government-approved herd reduction programmes. These also include discarded materials from local manufacturers or fashion houses where they would otherwise go to waste.  

By upcycling these organic by-products into naturally beautiful statement pieces, we help make a significant move towards reducing waste and promoting sustainability in South Africa. 

Upcycling describes the process of transforming by-products or waste materials into new materials or products. This not only helps reduce waste but also stops the exploitation of environmental resources.
