Fine luggage and leathergoods, since 1975.

Hunt Leather is Australia's leading independent retailer of high quality luggage, business cases, handbags, wallets and leather accessories.

Famous brands include Longchamp, Tumi, Il Bisonte, Lupo, Rimowa, Bric's, Barantani, Boldrini, Leonhard Heyden, and Axel Mano, as well as our own exclusive Hunt Leather collections.

Established in 1975 in Sydney by John and Elizabeth Hunt, the business carries on a family tradition in leathergoods, which goes back to 1852 when John Hunt's great great grandfather established a boot and shoe factory in Balmain, making boots that the diggers wore to the goldfields.

John Hunt was formerly a management consultant, and Managing Director of luggage manufacturer Ford Sherington, the maker of Globite schoolcases and Safe’n’Sound car seats. The Hunts opened their first store in the fabulous and avant-garde new MLC Centre, sourcing beautiful leathergoods and luggage from manufacturers across Europe, the USA and Britain, including Longchamp.

Hunt Leather now has stores in Sydney, Balmain, Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as the Longchamp and Tumi stores in Sydney. John Hunt passed away in 2005, leaving the business in the hands of Elizabeth, and daughter Sophie, who joined the firm in 1995.

The Hunts still travel overseas twice a year to source beautiful, well-made and unusual leathergoods, luggage and handbags. The company head office is in Balmain, in a beautiful 1868 sandstone building restored by the Hunts in 2003.

In 2009 we are pleased to announce our further expansion across Australia, with a new Longchamp boutique in the QVB, opened in July, and a new Hunt Leather store in Perth, opening November 2009.
