Made On-Site

At Lake Leather we have been making handmade leather goods on-site in Australia for some time. We produce a wide range of goods, from belts to bags and a bit of everything in between. In this article we are going to meet our makers and have a look around our Tasmanian workshops.

As the traditional season of renewal and rebirth, it feels very fitting that we are all feeling excited about the future, with some big and little changes in the pipeline for the next few months and the coming year.
