Episode 28 - Emily Porter

EKP Leatherwork is owned by myself, Emily Porter of Mount Mee, QLD. A near-lifelong fascination with saddlery, and its centuries of skills, tools and traditions, led to the desire to learn and make. I was fortunate enough to learn from a traditional harness maker from the start, and continually strive to learn and grow as a maker.I combine traditional methods with classic equestrian style, inspired by my muse, The Horse, and I love showcasing the natural characteristics and sustainability of real leather.Every piece is made entirely by my hands – hand cut, hand stitched and hand finished, right here in the Moreton Bay hinterland. From design to completion, it is all done by myself without shortcuts or machines, resulting in a genuinely handmade, beautiful, and lasting piece made for you.Specialising in- bespoke bridle leather belts- minimalist and classic bags- custom work- quality repairs.If you value quality and tradition, and the knowledge that comes from learning things the right way; if you love leather and all things handmade; if you covet your own bespoke piece - then please reach out, I would love to hear how I might help you.
