About Us

We are a husband and wife team who have been part of the ADF community for over 20 years.

As a young man, with the support of my partner, I joined the Army at 18 with the hopes and dreams of serving the country I love as a Combat Engineer. During my service, I trained in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Guam, and was deployed to East Timor, Afghanistan, and Iraq as part of both the regular Army and SOCOMD.

I have lost colleagues and friends in combat and, tragically, even after their separation from Defence.

Through all our varied experiences, one thing has remained constant: the close friendships and support network of ADF members and spouses. With their encouragement, we took our hobby of making leather goods for friends and family to the next level—turning it into an official business. Our goal is to create high quality items that anyone can purchase and enjoy for years to come.

Like many small businesses just starting out, we are stepping outside our comfort zone, facing new challenges, and competing with established brands—including Australian owned companies that manufacture their goods overseas. However, our mission is to provide you, the customer, with authentic, handmade leather goods crafted right here in Australia, using locally sourced materials. We are a passionate and dedicated couple, striving for quality and usability in every item we produce.

We welcome and encourage feedback, as we are constantly looking to improve our products, especially as we acquire more capable equipment to expand our manufacturing processes, all within our small studio in Sydney, Australia.

We can’t thank you enough for your support and look forward to providing you with bespoke, high quality items to accompany you on your own missions and adventures.

Tango Charlie.
