I don't at all consider myself a pro when it comes to knowing about leather. I have, however, hunted the perfect leather bag through the leather markets of Italy and can gage whether something is shonky or not. And as far as my novice eyes can tell, Hunt Leather in the CBD is definitely legit!
With a huge amount of leather goods hailing from Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, the owners of Hunt Leather have done a good job at sourcing some beautiful pieces. There are bags of all sizes, wallets, travel purses, laptop cases and so much more available here. I had a particular weakness for the Langchamp products. These beautiful items come with pretty hefty prices though. At an average of $1100 for an normal sized woman's handbag, don't say I didn't warn you.
The service was reserved, one of those "peer over the top of your glasses at the customers" style experiences, but it wasn't awkward or unpleasant. In saying this it would have been nice to be asked if I needed any assistance. But if you need a bit of leather in your life and are finding it difficult to find something well made, pop into Hunt Leather, but prepare yourself for the credit card sting. read more
