Any Leatherworkers from Australia?

Hi!

Are there many leatherworkers here from Australia? If so, does anyone know of any leathercraft stores in Victoria? I can't find any where I can actually walk in and look around at the leather and tools.

Cheers.

Hi Barra,

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of any stores that I can 'take a look around'? They seem to be more of a warehouse aren't they? And they also seem to focus on saddlery. I'm totally new to this game, to the point that I don't even fully know what I need yet! It seems that Leffler is the only place that sells leather working tools in Vic!

Hi Scott, you can take a look around Lefflers but it can be hard, if not impossible to get assistance. You pretty much need to know what you are after. I always need to make a list when I go there because as soon as I enter I am overwhelmed with all the stuff & it can be so hard to find what you want.

Jus remembered, there is a place in Mooroolbark but it's only small, I dont think he has alot of stock & I suspect if you had to order anything in from him, he would probably get it from Lefflers himself.

Good luck

Linda

Yeah, I just called the Mooroolbark guy (well, probably the same one) but he doesnt sell tools anymore. The other problem with Lefflers is that they dont sell many stamps (stamps for mandela-type patterning and lettering, not the pre-made picture type ones), which is what I'd like to try first of all.
