Up-cycled leather craft. Designed, sourced and handmade in New Zealand.
Leathermania gives 100% genuine leather offcuts a new lease on life, saving them from landfill and transforming them into unique, everyday pieces built to last.
Each item celebrates the natural character of leather — with colour variations, scars, and markings that tell its story. Thoughtfully made on limited colour batches, never mass-produced, and crafted with care.
Every pair starts as discarded leather offcuts—materials once overlooked, now carefully shaped by hand into something worth keeping.
Made slowly in my home studio, using leather that deserved a second life.
Customer Reviews
“I absolutely love my moccasins from Leathermania. They are extremely comfortable and I love that they are machine washable. I like to wear my moccasins inside and outside, so it’s great that I can give them a refresh every now and then. I care for mine by putting a light beeswax layer on them after the wash which makes them wear well. I have had my pair for 4 years and they still look good as new. I got mine from a market where Leathermania had a stall, though it’s great to see you can buy them online now too.”
— Bibi Bartholomew“I have been wearing the adult moccasins for years. Made from all natural material, upcycled leather and sheepskin lined, they are like a second protective skin on my feet. Being machine washable is a plus.
I have 2 pair, 1 pair years old that are now a little tatty but still my favorite go to home footwear.”
