About us
About Us
Cepatti was founded by Seipati Rakoma with a simple vision: to create luxury footwear that tells a story. Every pair is designed for those who value style with soul — shoes that feel like a nod to the past, yet walk firmly into the future.
Our style blends retro silhouettes and vintage charm with a modern edge. Each pair is handcrafted in South Africa by skilled artisans who understand that great shoes are built from the ground up — starting with the finest leathers and components. The result is footwear that’s as enduring in quality as it is timeless in design.
Innovation is stitched into our process. While our foundation is rooted in classic craftsmanship, our collections embrace bold colourways, playful details, and fresh interpretations of iconic styles. Limited runs ensure every design remains rare and deeply personal — no two walks will ever be the same.
Wearing Cepatti isn’t just about stepping into a shoe; it’s about stepping into an experience — one that’s comfortable, expressive, and unmistakably yours. Proudly made in South Africa, worn by those who know that true luxury is both an art and an attitude.r site.

Our designs reflect the beauty of slow fashion: timeless, sustainable, and made to move gracefully through life.
Each pair is crafted with care in South Africa, combining artisanal techniques with ethical materials for a finish that’s as beautiful as it is responsible.
