Welcome to Carswell Leathergoods.

​

Welcome to Carswell Leathergoods, I'm Martin, and I am a traditionally trained leather craftsman based in Warragul, hand crafting custom and bespoke leather goods. I've been working full time since 2017, making my items the way they used to be made, with care and by hand.

 

It's common now to see leathergoods branded as 'Luxury' when they are made in an overseas factory often from leather with heavy plastic finishes that look worse over time. Luxury should mean that both top quality craftsmanship and materials have been used, with the ability to be repaired as needed. It is luxury to be able to talk to the craftsman directly, and have something completely bespoke made to your particular taste. I make things properly, like they used to do. I don't cut corners and I don't compromise on craftsmanship. Beware of brands that claim to be Australian, but do not mention where their products are made. All my items are made in Warragul by me, Martin Carswell, the sole craftsman. I've been making leather goods for twelve years and have been full time for seven years, and I am always striving to improve my skills.

​

Let me know if there is a project you have in mind, no matter how big or small. I only use the best leathers and leather products available and I believe my craftsmanship speaks for itself, and I offer a lifetime guarantee on everything I make. Buy once, cry once as they say.

​

If you want to see my products or discuss a dream project in person, email or call me to organise a time to come into the workshop.

​

If you are interested in leathercraft classes, I am running in-person, and video classes for beginners, all the way up to advanced leather workers. I also have a video lesson on hand skiving, and some downloadable instructionals to improve your skills as leatherworkers.

​

I am taking limited custom orders right now, so get in touch if you'd like to discuss your dream project.

Check out my Gallery page to see a range of my previously made products, and head over to my Instagram to see what I am currently working on. If you're interested in custom and bespoke pieces -  drop me a line to see what I can do for you! Don't forget to subscribe to my mailing list to stay up to date with any news. I don't spam.
