And we’ve got a pretty good reason to come along…

125 years of tradition, crafted to last.

To mark Pretoria Boys High School's 125th birthday, we have partnered with PDJ Collective to create a limited collection of beautifully crafted leather pieces, designed with timeless style and purpose.

Each piece has been designed and handmade from genuine leather, combining exceptional craftsmanship with a subtle nod to our school's heritage.

The collection includes:

The Toiletry Bag - a smart, durable companion for weekends away, business trips or the annual Old Boys' reunion.

The Apron - made for the man who takes his braai seriously. Built to last and made to be worn.

The Desk Pad - a refined addition to the office or study, bringing a touch of PBHS heritage to your everyday workspace.

These are not simply school keepsakes. They are quality pieces made to be used, enjoyed and passed on - a fitting way to commemorate 125 years of history, friendship and tradition.

PBHS × PDJ Collective

125 Years. One Legacy.
