Leather Workshop

In late 2015, Eagle Leather took an exciting new step by bringing leather production in-house. After months of planning and investment, by February 2016 we had established a fully equipped leather workshop at our Hoddle Street headquarters. The workshop quickly became a cornerstone of our business, allowing us to produce premium leather goods with precision and care.

Over the years, this dedication to craftsmanship led to the creation of high-end leather gear, recognized for impeccable stitching and carefully selected hides. Our passion for quality has shaped our reputation and remains at the heart of everything we do.

We now produce everything from wardrobe staples like leather jocks and harnesses, to high end pieces that intersect fetish and fashion, like our 501 Style Leather Jeans and Leather Vests. The two designs we are probably best known for are our signature Utility Kilt and our now removed heavy duty Eagle Leather Hoodie.

It's important to us to keep the leather manufacturing traditions of Abbotsford alive, and we love the hyper-local approach where leather gear is produced less than 10 metres from where you purchase it. The personalised service we are able to offer customers when they can come in and get fitted on site by our head of manufacturing is second to none. Leather making is a skill set and an industry with a strong history in Australia that has been gradually disappearing, so it's important that we keep it going.

Ethical sourcing of leather is also something that we are extremely passionate about. Most of the leather we source comes from Italy, Japan or South Korea. All of those producers make really high quality materials, have really high standards of welfare for their workers and they have high standards when it comes to the ecological impact of the runoff from the tanners. All of the animal products we use are animal by-products so the hides are from cows and sheep that are bred for food. None of these animals are bred solely for material, so nothing of the animal goes to waste.
