Leatherworks Adelaide is a family owned and operated business located in the heart of Adelaide CBD. Rob McRae was formally trained in Florentine leather design at the Jam Factory Leather Workshop, then established the original Leatherworks studio in 1985 at Hyde Park. Our current studio and retail outlet was launched in Regent Arcade in 2016.

Rob and Isabella are the principal designer makers who work collaboratively on the product range. Our studio is also home to Josh, who specialises in custom hand-stitched pieces. The entire making process is done in the Adelaide studio, all material is hand cut and hand finished in artisan tradition.
+
Premium vegetable tanned leathers are sourced from Australia and Italy to meet exacting performance standards of hand feel, durability and appearance. Unique, limited edition and handmade, our philosophy is relatively simple. We use and respect the best materials available, maximise traditional and contemporary techniques and tools, ensure designs function as they should and maintain an overall consistent quality and appearance standard. Our products are defined by classic design simplicity, construction integrity with subtle attention to detail.
& their daughter, Isabella, in 2019.
