Frequently Asked Questions
What type of leather is used in your products?
All Vintage Leather Sydney products are made from full-grain leather the strongest and most natural part of the hide. Full-grain leather keeps the original grain, texture, and character of the hide, meaning every piece has its own unique markings and feel. Over time, with regular use, it slowly softens and darkens in certain areas a natural change called patina giving the leather a richer, more personal look.
How do I care for my leather bag or accessory?
Keep it dry where possible, wipe it gently with a soft cloth, and use a suitable leather conditioner every few months. Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, or leaving it in direct sun for long periods. With simple care, your piece will last for many years and develop beautiful character along the way.
How long does shipping take, and is it free?
Standard shipping within Australia is free, and orders are processed within 1 business day. Australian standard delivery takes 3–7 business days, while express delivery takes 2–3 business days. International standard delivery takes 12–20 business days, and international express takes 8–12 days. International shipping costs are calculated at checkout.

I purchased a vintage leather journal for my grandson and am extremely happy with the quality. The packaging is lovely and beautifully presented. The gift arrived within a couple of days of ordering. I am extremely impressed with this company and will purchase further gifts in the future. I definitely recommend Vintage Leather for anyone looking to purchase leather items.

The item has never been delivered to me. Nobody is to blame, just bad luck. I can't review my purchase obviously. However, thank you Vintage Leather for dealing with the problem in the friendly manner and refunding my money within a few days. I will be back ...
