The Bellingen is a beautiful balance of traditional leatherwork, vintage-inspired design and everyday practicality. With her distinctive rounded silhouette, warm earthy tones and intricate hand-stamped detailing, she is a piece full of character, designed to be carried and treasured for years to come.
Named after the beautiful town of Bellingen on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, a place known for its creative spirit, historic charm and appreciation for art and craftsmanship. The Bellingen reflects that same individuality, bringing together traditional leatherworking techniques with a design that feels both nostalgic and wonderfully unique.
Handcrafted from beautiful vegetable-tanned leather, her warm Spanish Brown tones highlight the natural grain and character of the hide. Delicate hand-stamped patterns flow across her front flap, following the curves of her distinctive silhouette, while carefully placed brass rivets add warmth and character to her design.
One of her most striking features is her unusual front closure, where individually cut and decorated leather pieces are layered and woven through a circular opening. This beautiful arrangement creates a distinctive focal point, combining thoughtful design with traditional craftsmanship. Her intricate detailing continues across the back, making her just as beautiful from behind as she is from the front.
Her adjustable leather strap is finished with a beautifully engraved brass buckle, allowing her to be worn comfortably over the shoulder or across the body. With her practical medium-sized silhouette, The Bellingen is designed to carry your everyday essentials without sacrificing the individuality of a handcrafted piece.
Every component has been individually cut, shaped and assembled in my Gloucester studio using traditional riveted construction. Her intentionally unlined interior celebrates the natural strength and beauty of genuine leather, allowing her to soften and develop a beautiful patina with years of use.
Although this silhouette may return to the workbench in the future, this particular combination of warm leather, intricate hand-stamped detailing, distinctive woven closure and brass hardware belongs to The Bellingen alone.
One of one. Hand cut, handcrafted and handmade in Gloucester, NSW, Australia.
What fits
A lovely medium-sized bag designed to carry your everyday essentials with ease. There is room for your wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small makeup pouch and a few additional personal items, making her a beautiful companion for everyday outings without the bulk of a larger handbag.
