LEATHER CRAFT

Hearthsmith

Always wanted to wear the leather apron in the garden, workshop or studio?

For metalsmithing, pottery, cobbling, leathercraft, saddlery, jewellery-making. woodwork, or even horticulture, leather has been used as a protective and long-lasting material for the tougher ateliers for centuries.

This traditional yet stylish leather apron features a top and three waist pockets for carrying tools and writing pencils. Made from the finest leather, this apron will protect you while you're in the workshop, garage or studio and will keep you warm on those chilly autumn days gardening outside.

Short Apron – length of body = 67 cm with neck strap = 89 cm
Long Apron - length of body = 88 cm with neck strap = 107cm

Imagine the satisfaction of toting a sophisticated, premium-quality leather bag and saying, “I made this myself.” Or giving a self-stitched leather piece as a truly personal gift. 

Perhaps you're looking at crafts for Mother's Day gifts but your young-at-heart mum is not quite ready to start crochet. Your partner, wife or mum will love making it herself or won't quite believe it when you tell her you made it with love for her. 

J Tanner's shoulder bag is a truly personal birthday, thank you, or Mother's Day gift and was designed to bring classic flair to a modern lifestyle. With an adjustable leather shoulder strap, classic brass metal hardware, one large compartment for storing your goods, and a quick access pouch on the back (perfect as a small cardholder, or for slim documents), this shoulder bag is built for life on the go.

Choose between a luscious brown or go for the purity of the Fora Studios exclusive Natural vegetable-tanned leather option.

The simple, minimal aesthetic of the designs shows off the quality of the vegetable-tanned leather. And your brilliant handiwork, of course.

This is not just a piece of furniture but an investment piece you'll be proud of. Think about it this piece of furniture was made 50 years ago, the year the Sydney Opera House was opened and it still looks stunning.

Vintage, yet contemporary with clean lines. It will bring a charm to any older home or a new build lacking in soul, texture and warmth.

Admire the Aussie craftsmanship of 1973. Squishy, comfy and great looking, this soft seducer is a sister piece to the Nore Archibald armchair that features as a permanent fixture in Melbourne's NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) in Black. Ahh, but do they have the tan leather 2-seater lounge??? 

Made from striking Australian eucalyptus hardwood & premium/thick Howe leather when the latter was still produced and finished in Australia.

The lounge is of incredible quality, and is genuinely rare to find in this now fashionable sumptuous tan colour.

The two seats are actually separate, allowing easy repositioning as well as multifunctionality to your space whether it be a home, study, office or grooovy corporate reception area.

Norman Archibald is a furniture designer active ca.1973 developing furniture for Nore Furniture Pty Ltd, Bayswater, Victoria.

Howe Leather still exists. In 1997 it repositioned itself as an automotive leather supplier producing state-of-the-art car seat leather for the industry for manufacturers all around the world.

Composition: Leather/Eucalyptus wood 

For a private appointment to inspect the Nore Archibald 2 seater sofa please call Lidia on 0404 893 180. A one-seater is also available for serious collectors to complete the set.
