Rob McRae is a designer and leatherworker who has been crafting quality goods by hand for over 40 years.

Rob McRae trained in Florentine leatherwork at the Jam Factory — one of Australia's most respected craft institutions — and has refined his practice over four decades alongside masters including Ian White and Tsuyoshi Yamashita of Japan. The studio has been a fixture of Adelaide since 1985, and has called Regent Arcade home since 2016.

“It is a joy to find, in this world of shallow fads and disposable fashion, someone dedicated to the finest craftsmanship and the highest quality in producing accessories that deserve to be treasured. Rob McRae was trained at the Jam Factory in the age-old tradition of Italian leatherwork - the finest in the world - and he has continued to hone his skills and develop designs that will pass the test of time. His bags and accessories are the epitome of simple elegance, meant for people who are looking for genuine quality to enhance their lives.”
