Create a Leather Piece That’s Uniquely Yours
At CCY Studio, every design begins with your vision.
From the first sketch to the final stitch, we work closely with you to create something personal, practical, and made to last.
Bespoke Leatherwork for Every Purpose
At CCY Studio, function meets artistry.
Each commission is individually designed to reflect its purpose — whether carried every day, displayed in a restaurant, or built for the road.
Clients collaborate directly with CC to refine form, finish, and detail, ensuring each creation is as practical as it is beautiful.
We craft:
Cross-body bags, clutches, totes, and duffle bags
Wallets, belts, travel and toiletry bags
Backpacks, messenger bags, and briefcases
Motorbike saddlebags and panniers — built for durability and ride-ready strength
Leather aprons for chefs, makers, and craftsmen
Blade rolls, knife carriers, and tool wraps
Leather-bound menus, coasters, and hospitality accessories
Custom commissions and one-off design pieces
Every piece is individually made in Newcastle, not mass-produced — ensuring quality, longevity, and originality.
Materials That Endure
Every design begins with genuine Australian leather, selected for its resilience, structure, and character.
Each hide is carefully chosen for tone and grain, revealing the subtle imperfections that define its beauty.
We use cowhide, calfskin, suede, kangaroo, emu, and snake, paired with premium hardware, durable zips, and quality fittings.
Edges are burnished and sealed by hand, threads waxed for strength, and surfaces finished with a natural sheen.
The result is leather that matures gracefully, developing a patina unique to its owner.
Made in Limited Editions
All CCY Studio pieces are created in limited quantities or as one-off commissions.
We do not mass-produce.
Every item carries its own story — shaped by hand, refined through process, and finished to perfection.
Whether you commission a travel bag, saddlebag, or restaurant collection, you’re investing in craftsmanship that holds its value through time.
