Drake Leather in Dunedin

#352 Buy - Handmade leather goods by Drake Leather. Owner Bill Drake established his business in 1975. You'll find his small store and factory in Rattray Street where he sells his belts (including kilt belts), bags, coin purses, satchels, leather bootlaces, keyrings, he prints gold lettering onto leather so you can personalise leather goods. He'll also punch new belt holes for a donation to the Otago Hospice (a cause close to his heart). Over the years Bill, who is known as Dunedin’s leather guru, has inspired and shared his specialised skills with fashion students, including having taught the amazing Jessie Wong (Yu Mei) leather craft in her second year of studying Fashion in Dunedin. Top quality, local craftsmanship at its best. Lovely to have a chat to Bill today.
