100% Hand-Crafted. Zero Machines. Built to Last.

At Eysink Leathercraft, we reject fast fashion.

Everything we create in our Kerikeri studio is cut, shaped, and stitched entirely by hand using traditional tools.

Here is what we can do for you:
Custom Wearable Art: Signature hand-stitched hats (flat caps, fedoras, beanies), premium wallets, belts, bags, and custom motorcycle vests or armor.
Repairs & Restorations: Expert restoration for vintage leather, plus heavy-duty traditional saddle and equine tack repairs.
Cultural Rebinding: Specialized restringing and binding for traditional Māori pounamu and taonga.

To ensure we provide the ultimate service and undivided attention to your project, we operate strictly by appointment.

Built to Last. Made by Hand. Truly Yours.
We do not believe in fast fashion. We do not believe in assembly lines, factory machines, or cutting corners.
Every single hat we create is 100% made by hand, from start to finish. We source premium leather, cutting and stitching each piece using traditional hand tools. Because leather is a living material, and because human hands shape every brim, no two hats are ever identical. Your hat is a wearable piece of art, made just for you.
A factory-made hat is built for a season. Our leather hats are built for a lifetime.

Fathersday ultimate gift.
Socks are out, hats are in.
The gift of a hat is a truly unique gift for a dad that has enough socks in his drawers.

Our hats are unique since not one hat is the same, like every dad is never the same.

Don't delay

Are you ready to trade the casual brim for something with more "gravitas." ?

Moving away from the baseball cap is a classic rite of passage that instantly elevates a man's silhouette.
Here is a breakdown of the transition styles for men looking to upgrade their headwear:

The Flat Cap:
The ultimate "dad" upgrade.

The Fedora:
The most versatile classic.

The Statement Pieces
The Cowboy / Western:
Rugged, masculine and adventurous

The Homburg:
The "Godfather" hat. Very formal.
Features a stiff brim with an upturned "gutter" edge.

I can tell you exactly which hat will frame your face best

Since all our hats are 100% handmade, you will get a hat that is taylored to your features.

Last but not least you will be surprised that the cost of a 100% leather, handmade hat is more affordable and sustainable than you think.
