Christmas Eve. We are open from 9 - 12 today for all your last minute gifts. We are tucked away in south Dubbo, not on the high street, so it’s always a calming space at this time of year.

We are open today until 5:30 for all your last minute gifts and pick up orders. We officially close these doors for the holidays tomorrow at 12pm.

The Petite Satchel | a favourite little bag to carry by your side during the holiday season. Back in stock in our signature Caramel.
This is an essentially tactile, simple design that will carry a phone, keys, and smaller items with ease due to its boxy structure and beautiful hand woven leather sides.
An original design, each bag is made by hand to utilise every piece of leather and reveal authentic character.
We prepare for the festive season by providing beautiful, hand made pieces. We look for ways to enhance the simple rituals that allow us time for presence and reflection — more importantly at this time of year that brings mixed emotions and memories. Lighting a candle, layering a favourite scent, hand writing a few lines, sitting in quietness despite the rush. May you find such moments this week. x
The final week. Our store is busy, busy — shipping last minute orders, wrapping your thoughtful gifts, serving you in our Dubbo store.

Handcrafted for days of discovery — designed with ease of style in mind. The Saddle Bag has been our best selling leather bag this year, as it’s so simple to wear cross body, or by your side.
* Our final batch of Saddle bags in our gorgeous ‘Atlantic’ special edition is now ready for order. *
Maker notes: Featuring two internal leather pockets. The curve of the Saddle bag is softly rounded, handcrafted from full grain leather with an elegant, solid brass stud for closure. The bag naturally falls by your side or will cross over the body with the sturdy adjustable leather strap and brass hardware.
Simplicity in an authentic and luxury form. Here you can see the gorgeous tones of ‘BARLEY’ which transports us to fields of golden grain and lingering summer evenings.
Our leather Clutch collection is a daily staple to cherish. For the festive season ahead, our makers’ hands have been so busy crafting more batches of our best selling colours in time for Christmas.
CARE notes: The leather responds well to a little care, absorbing conditioner in order to maintain its durability for years of use. P.S. We recommend ordering a small pot of locally made Wilson’s leather cream for $12 on the website — the perfect addition to your order. x
We launch an exclusive festive Gift collection this weekend. Made and gathered to celebrate Australian design at its finest.
