Handcrafted Leather Goods & Bespoke Repairs in Newcastle
At CCY Studio, we craft premium leather bags, accessories and repairs that stand the test of time.
Based in Newcastle, NSW, we combine over 15 years working with leather and 40 years of artisan experience to deliver pieces defined by quality, durability and authenticity.
Durable. Authentic. Made to last.
Why Choose Hand-Stitched Leather?
Each piece from CCY Studio is made using the double saddle stitch — a traditional hand-sewing method known for its incredible strength and beauty.
Unlike machine stitching, which can unravel when one thread breaks, the saddle stitch locks each loop in place using two needles and one continuous waxed thread.
The result: uncompromising durability and a piece that looks better with age.
