MEET THE MAKER

Kattasche is a small leather atelier based in Dharawal Country, Bulli. I, Katja, specialise in designing and making unique custom leather bags and accessories, combining heritage craft with minimalist design and vibrant colours inspired by the stunning Illawarra landscape. I create with longevity in mind, using mindful and traditional leather craft techniques with just a simple palette of carefully selected hand tools. My approach is low energy and sustainable, without the wastage of seasonal fast fashion and my leathers (cow, kangaroo, fish skin and cane toad) are sourced from Australian tanneries and mostly vegetable tanned, without the environmental impact of harsh chemicals.
