SOBEK is a company in constant development. Classic and timeles, SOBEK approaches every season with new vigour, ensuring new designs, new combinations of materials and new trends are set.

Thankfully, SOBEK who only use skins of CITES certified crocodiles from specialised farms and who ensure the skins are tanned and dyed in Europe, will not be penalised by the next CITES convention on the protection of endangered species.
