Our bags
Are Harry Austin bags made from Italian leather?
Yes. Harry Austin handbags are crafted from premium Italian natural grain leather, selected for its beautiful texture, lasting quality and the way it develops character over time. Every hide is unique, with natural variations in grain and colour that make each bag individual.
Where are Harry Austin bags designed?
Harry Austin bags are designed in Australia, drawing inspiration from the enduring principles of Italian craftsmanship.
Which Harry Austin bag is best for carrying a laptop?
The Florence Tote comfortably fits a laptop up to the size of a 15-inch MacBook, making it an ideal companion for work, travel and everyday life. We recommend comparing your device measurements with those listed on the product page before ordering.
Which style is right for me?
Each Harry Austin bag is designed with a different way of living in mind. Choose the Florence Tote for carrying more throughout your day, the Milano Shoulder Bag for an elegant everyday companion or the Venice Bum Bag for hands-free versatility.
Why does my leather bag vary slightly in colour or texture?
Natural grain leather is beautifully individual. Subtle variations in grain, texture and colour are part of its character and reflect the authenticity of the material.
Caring for your bag
How do I care for my Harry Austin leather bag?
Gently wipe your bag with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight and heat. With thoughtful care, Italian leather will age beautifully over time.
Can I use a leather protector?
Yes, provided it is suitable for natural grain leather. We recommend testing it on a small, hidden area first and following the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
What if my leather bag gets wet?
Blot away excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth and allow the bag to air dry naturally. Avoid rubbing the surface or using direct heat.
How should I store my bag?
Store your bag in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Filling it lightly with tissue paper will help maintain its shape between wears.
Will the leather change over time?
Yes. Italian natural grain leather softens and develops a beautiful patina with use. These subtle changes are part of its character, making every Harry Austin bag a unique reflection of the life it accompanies.
