Knight NZ Vintage Leather

Saving vintage leather saddles one gorgeous leather handbag at a time!

Knight NZ leather handbags and leather goods are made from vintage leather, vintage canvas, and tack.

We design and make in beautiful New Zealand.

Our main source of leather comes from recycling vintage saddles and tack.

The patina and quality of saddle leather can not be beaten.

Knight NZ Vintage Leather is known for…

 

Knight NZ Vintage Leather saves vintage saddles and tack from the scrap heap

We hunt out unwanted vintage leather saddles and tack gear.

The vintage saddle is cleaned, restored, and carefully dismantled to allow the leather to be pressed flat.

A bag is carefully designed in a way that highlights the unique quality of the rejuvenated vintage saddle leather.

Eco-friendly | Up-cycled | Re-purposed.

A lot of “hot topic” words do apply – we prefer “treasured”

We treasure beautiful, traditionally made equestrian saddles and just can not see them discarded.

Knight NZ Vintage Leather loves giving them new life and seeing how others also treasure them.

My new Knight NZ Vintage Leather handbag gets a lot of great comments
from my friends! I love how beautifully crafted it is and yet it is also practical
and has loads of room for all my things. It’s the best handbag I’ve ever had!
I would highly recommend Knight NZ to anyone who is looking for a leather style
handbag – I’ve never seen anything like them in mainstream stores.
