  • Creek Leather

Creek Leather was established in 2019 when Katherine was looking for a satchel. Unable to find exactly what she wanted, she drew up a design, bought leather and tools, and made her own. The bag was soon commandeered by a friend, then others started putting in their own requests, so Katherine bought more leather and tools and set up her workshop. 

​
The brand and the individual bag names are an acknowledgement of the many rivers and creeks in the Coffs Harbour area where Katherine and her wife live.  



Each Creek item is made of quality full grain leather, and Katherine cuts and stitches them entirely by hand.

'Mirum'

Styled after an old school satchel.
​
These beauties are cut and saddle-stitched by hand. The oil tan leather will wear with use and time into that awesome vintage look, and being a natural product can carry slight variations of shades and markings.

Medium - front compartment 18 cm x 10 x 3.5 cms; main 23 x 15 x 7 cms.  

Large - front compartment 26 x 14 x 5 cms; main 32 x 21 x 15 cms. 

The shoulder strap has a buckle for adjustable lengths. The flap straps on the medium Mirum close with magnets for ease of use, while on the large they buckle for added strength.
