Here at the Silver & Leather Co we create unique one off items using the best materials available here in Australia.
Out leather is sourced here in Australia and we endeavor to only access the Veg tanned varieties where possible.
When it comes to sourcing precious metals like Fine Silver and Gold we use Australia’s most trusted source Peter W Beck. We recycle all our waste reducing our carbon foot print as we make our way through this journey.
Some of our products:
- Silverware
- Blue Gum Tote Bags
- The Grey Gum
- Aussie Wattle
- The Willow
- The Lilly Pilly
- The Bush Daisy (Snowy Mountains) Brush rolls
The Silver & Leather Co family consists of Our Leathersmith Heidi (that’s me!) Our Master Silver & Goldsmith Jacques Fabian and a quiver full of Guest Jewellers.
The Silver & Leather is now offering Saturday Morning Jewellery Workshops from 9.30am – 12.30pm.
Leather-smith and Designer Jeweller Heidi and Master Silver & Goldsmith Jacques Fabian have teamed up to share their passion for handmade items with the world.
My dream has always been to work with leather and to sew! I just love to sew.
Ultimately, the Silver & Leather Co is my ‘Side – Hustle’ that allows me to feed my sewing addiction.
I used to make all kinds of things for my kids from toys to clothes and I have always made bags.
I actually think it is impossible to have too many bags and you need to be able to feel the weight of your jewellery!
Jewellery for me is about personal identity and the story.
Leather to me is not only a natural product, which I love, it was a living entity – it had purpose.
I feel my Jewellery and Bags continue to give that entity purpose.
Did you know Cows actually have friendship groups and will have a best friend in their herd group.
I truly hope you will enjoy my products as much as I have delighted in creating each and everyone of them.’
