How it started
The purchase of an old rivet machine found on Gumtree, is what kicked off our leather production. We had been playing around with leather craft and stumbled upon this add for a very old rivet machine in the local area. Curiosity tempted us to find out more about this machine.
Turns out this beast of a rivet machine had served many years in a belt factory in Melbourne and then placed in storage when the factory closed.
Included in the price was a number of genuine leather hides, an assortment of belt hardware plus lots more. The leather hides got us so home we went with these beautiful hides along with this relic of a machine in our horse float.
Little did we know at the time that this rivet machine would become an integral part of our business.
