Hi, I'm Katie Teague - mother, wife, appreciator of wine and Founder of HARRY AUSTIN.
The idea behind my business evolved from a personal need when I first fell pregnant back in 2016. I was searching for the perfect nappy bag that was high quality, stylish and practical, but at the same time I didn’t want to invest the big bucks in a niche product that would serve me no use as soon as my baby was out of nappies.
I quickly discovered that most designer bags lacked the functionality, while most traditional nappy bags (seriously) lacked the quality and style. So I decided to take matters into my own hands!
After spending 2018 in Italy developing my brand, in 2019 I returned to Australia to launch HARRY AUSTIN. Inspired by the modern woman who wants to do it all, our convertible luxury handbags support women through all ages and stages of life in style - work, everyday life/ play and motherhood! We make versatile investment pieces that women are proud to hold onto for life.
With a focus on quality first, I scoured the world for the best leather crafting practice and landed on Florence, Italy, where the skills have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.
Our leather bags are expertly handcrafted in an ethically, family-run workshop in the countryside of Florence, known for also producing some of the world’s most coveted luxury handbag brands.
The process is slow and meticulous and uses only 100% genuine Italian leather and the finest materials, to ensure a investment piece much higher than the industry average.
We bring the 'Made in Italy' stamp of approval back to our Headquarters in Byron Bay, Australia.
We’re all about long-term relationships. Our bags are designed for women of all ages and stages of life, even motherhood!
Our unique 2-piece design gives women the versatility to carry our timeless leather totes to work, in everyday life/ play and throughout their years nurturing a child if and/or when the special time arises.
Did you know that the average woman buys up to 111 handbags over the course of a lifetime? We encourage customers to consider their environmental footprint by choosing a versatile, quality bag that will last a lifetime.
Our slogan is BUY LESS, BUY BETTER. HARRY AUSTIN’s mission is to encourage a reduction in fast fashion landfill, by providing women with high quality, sustainably designed handbags that can do it all!
Our well made, timeless and multifunctional handbags are an investment piece for all ages and stages of life!. Built for longevity, our FlorenceTote has a clean and elegant design that will transcend time and work hard for you season after season. It will also convert into an organised baby bag with our HARRY AUSTIN Baby Bag Converter if and/ or when the need arises.
