Proudly New Zealand made, owned and operated. We specialise in creating bespoke one-of-a-kind bags from your old leather jackets. We up-cycle and redesign them, paying special attention to capture all those special memories and create your own heirloom piece.
Our custom made bags are wonderfully unique not only in their end result as a bespoke bag but in the memories your garments hold.
Citizen Leather’s Ready Made Bags are unique up-cycled bags and accessories hand-crafted from personally sourced leather, fabrics, quality linens, tweed, wool, canvas and even couches.

“I think the old fabrics bring joy; we admire the quality, and they bring back happy memories of times-one-by and our loved ones who have passed on... they also brought back happy memories of our carefree youth in the 60s and 70s. My Mum was an evening dress designer, so I have a huge love for fabric... she always said to buy the best, it always shows in the drape!”
